Those are all good... never thought I was unusual for eating them!

Of course just ate eel with sushi, and just ate rabbit when I was a kid and I'd shoot them and my dad would make us clean and eat anything and everything we shot hunting (would recommend it all but squirrel, not sure if I really enjoyed opossum or not or if I just thought I did cause I killed it when I was a kid).

Edit: Some folks fine sushi and anything raw strange, but I don't consider it unusual and I'd eat sushi over anything in the world. Cow and pig brains and tongue, used to have them as a kid at my grandparents, mmm good.

you could get aligator at Buzzard Billy's in Des Moines. Pretty good stuff, too. They fried it in a tempura batter and served it with a remoulade sauce.

In Oaxaca, Mexico, we ate small grasshoppers; they were served as a kind of snack food and were salty. Since they were dried, the texture was crispy, and I don't remember any specific taste beyond the saltiness.

Monkey brains on the west coast of Africa...They were also serving rat, but I stayed away from that.

Did you try the ants? I wonder how many ants it would take to fill me up (1,000...10,000)?

It ain't Cantonese cuisine, so it ain't common.

How was it served? My dad said he visited southern China one time and saw them serve it with the monkey drugged and head held in the middle of the table. Live brain.
