I never ate pigeon or guinea pig. Only heard that it tastes like chicken and rabbit. But I still want to taste it.

    Jackfruit, durian(I want to know if it’s as bad as everyone says) and lion’s mane mushroom (I had it once but it’s so hard to find here). Also I saw a Ugandan recipe for plantain stew, subbed them with green unripe bananas but it’s probably not the same. Oh and Ethiopian injera!

      I had the chance to try durian fruit chunks and durian ice cream! It tasted like sucking on a wet, slightly used dishrag. It was an… interesting flavor, but one I’m glad I got to try; I was only able to eat a third of my serving because the taste became more overbearing as I ate.

      Salmon is one of the most delicious things in the sea. Especially Chinook/king salmon. So good.

        that i like? i have a fondness for shrimp/prawns if they’re done well, same with squid. i’ll also quite happily eat a piece of cod from the chip shop or whatever paste is made into a fish finger. i just don’t eat it or have a craving for it that much.

      I had all kinds of mushrooms but not these ones. Some had this little problem that they are edible only once.

        What do you mean they are edible only once?

        Edit: To be clear, the post above implies that they are poisonous. They are not.

            I also pick mushrooms in the forest and have to know which ones are poisonous. With only a couple of exceptions, most are either poisonous for the first time (and then continuing after) or not poisonous at all. Until you start getting into eating some of them in large quantities and differences in people’s digestive systems.

            Anyway, matsutake are perfectly safe to eat more than once unless you specifically have some sort of sensitivity to mushrooms in general.

    Those french snails! But on the milder side I’d love to taste rabbit, seems like it would actually be really good

    Really really good balsamic, the stuff that costs like $150 for a few ounces. I watched a video series about the making of it and taste tests against regular balsamic, and the desire to try it has been floating around my head.

    I’m a very adventurous eating so I’ve had the chance to eat a bunch of different foods but my list of meats to try include goose, horse, dog, emu, and snake.

    I’d love to try goat and kangaroo meat. They say both taste gamey. No idea what that means though

      Goat is lush! Curried goat is lovely in particular, it’s slow cooked so it melts in the mouth almost. It’s like lamb but better imo.

      Kangaroo tastes great and didn’t taste at all gamey to me. I had a kangaroo steak medallion and I’d say it had a slightly richer meat flavor, but was much leaner than beef. Goat tends to be very tough and chewy, but I’ve only had it in curries so I can’t speak to its flavor much.

      If you didn’t have sheep (mutton) you may try it too. It is not for everyone but I like it. It has this musky flavour which some dont like.

    I’ve never eaten any kind of snake before. I’d be interested in trying snake. I’ve had gator sausage and kangaroo jerky, but snake seems intriguing.
