Have you ever taken a shark bite
That is, have you ever caught a tuna and cut aside part of it's scales and taken a bite of it while it was still alive
We were on a boat fishing this summer and the guy who took us out told one of my friends to do it... it was pretty nutty.
Heh. I'm from the Philippines, and yes I have tried Balut. While I probably can't stomach it now, when I was younger it was quite the delicacy and I enjoyed eating it.

My girlfriend from South Dakota kept wanting me to try lutefisk but yeah, "eating" and "lye" do not go together in the grammar of Jacob.
On the other hand I could probably rock Hakarl. Having worked as a cleaner, ammonia doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I imagine the relevant bits of lung and/or brain have long since burned out.
And now I realize I'm probably the one here to eat anything from that list.
I would totally try "antcheros" if someone were to offer them to me. And offered to take the first bite.
Other than that, no way:
• Having merely smelled lutefisk, I can happily say "no thank you!"
• I'm already lactose intolerant, so cheese that could actually burrow through my intestines is straight out.
• I have a long-standing rule against eating food that I have made eye contact with (I won't pick out a lobster or eat one of those whole fish served on a platter). This seems to rule out both the entire duckling and the evilly glaring sheep head.
• I have picked half-eaten remains of baby mice out of many a mouse cage. I don't eat mouse food.
you know, I haven't actually cooked meat at home in like a month now. And I think I'm going to keep it that way, pretty much
you're a freak elks
Sweetheart, I'm untraditional in all sorts of ways.
:winky:
Also, goddamnit Elks, you're in America. People eat shit like fetuses and lungs and ant eggs because they have to. Because there is nothing else to eat. This is why Tripe exists, and also why my dad ate it. They were poor. Intestines are cheap, apparently. He no longer eats tripe.

What, you don't like boiled sheep-heads? Seriously though, boiled-alive baby-birds are kind of gross but they have nothing to do with bacon-cheeseburgers. Or chicken parmesean. Or pepperoni pizza-tacos. Or biscuits with sausage-gravy. Or when you cook italian sausage by simmering it in red-sauce instead of cooking it the other ways, and serve it with pasta.
Oh my god, did somebody actually seriously bring up that liberal-brain/conservative-brain study in the Ron Paul thread?
/facepalm
Man, we know it's true, it's just a matter of time until more studies make it conclusive. Woody Allen was saying this shit back in Bullets over Broadway (isn't that the one where Alan Alda's son/John Cusak's brother turns conservative after bloodflow is restricted to his brain?)

Trick question.
The answer is clusterfuck.
At least that's what the dude from Man vs. Wild taught me.
It's not about overall genetic similarity. It comes down to the receptors on the cell surface, which can vary a lot from species to species.
And it saddens me to note we're not still discussing half-rotten corpses, le sigh. *kids*

I don't know why these polish pretzel sticks are addicting.

Mine's upside down, though. And we had to cut the bottom half, so it'd fit. I don't like it as much the lungs, but my dad loves it.
Pretzel sticks?
Also does anyone want to horrify my avatar for halloween? :P

Bam.
I've had lutefisk. It's actually served here in the mess hall from time to time and I get it whenever it is.
The only thing on there that I probably wouldn't try is sardinia.
you're a freak elks
Judging by these photos, neither has Elki.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
What is that anyway?

Just wait for the photos of my inevitable visit back to Sudan. You have no seen anchovies cooked until you've seen me cook them.
Boiled lamb's head. It's really good.
And if you're wondering, yes, you do eat the brain.
at least one.
So, have people seen this? It is SFW.

Mmm, tastes like scrapie ...
