Aspies For Freedom

For me, it would be ice cream with basalmic vinigar on it! How gross is that! No actually, it wasn't all that bad, just weird. I don't think i could recall any other time i've eaten something weird, except maybe a few sand grains, lol.

Anyone else want to share their craziest foods here?

I once drank a spoonful of olive oil because I thought it was healthy. I end up feeling very sick.

Up until I was about four years of age, I would always eat the sand at playgrounds...

Nowadays I'm an extremely picky eater, so I probably woudn't ever be caught eating something most people consider to be weird (unless plain versions of most people's favorite foods are weird).

Oh yeah, I would also eat a lot of (dry) cat food when I was a kid. It was the Purina Cat Chow, and I still think it tastes quite good. The main reason I don't eat it anymore is the social taboo.

One time a friend paid me and my husband $5 each to eat a gourmet dog biscuit.  Actually it was not so disgusting.

That question totally beats me. i guess some kids like te smell of the objects and would assume they'd taste good too. i ate sand because i liked its crunchy texture.

I forgot one thing; I also used ot eat a spoonful of baking soda everyday, but then realized that i could probably get sodium overloaded eventually. i'm a sodium addict, and i prefer salty over sweet. i'd even eat a few grains of salt alone.

Hope it wasn't a dangerous one.

I'll leave it up to you which of these is stranger.

I once ate a fish's eyeball in Japan.

I routinely chew the cartiledge of chicken bones etc when I'm eating drumsticks (etc)

Once when I was camping, I saw some white powder on the table, and thought it must be salt. So I tasted some, but it wasn't salty. When I asked my dad what it was (he didn't see me eat) he said it was probably some dried bird crap or something.

Another time I was camping and I ate some of the local grass roots because I'd seen whatshisface do it on "Bush Tucker Man."

I don't know about the paste but I used to like chewing rubbers and crayons and eating paper at school. It was partly out of boredom I think.

I can't think of anything particularly weird that I've eaten.

Tim

i think dog treats are really good. thats just me though

tako is nasty^its like chewing on a chunk of bicycle tire tube with a bunch of 1cm suction cups glued to it. and the taste is awful too. but definetly not the weirdest thing ive eaten...

funny you say that, 2yrs old, christmas tree light bulb. mom said i spit out the metal part.

also, rocky mountain oysters, fried rattlesnake, lizards on a stick(marshmallow style), and beaver jerky.

also, in 4th grade ciriculum enrichment (gifted) class, we disected squid, then fried up the mantel and ate it. i like squid now, but eating a disection is just gross.

I still eat bits of white paper. It's quite tasty.

frogs legs stew and a pregnant snail in China.

A new boss was trying to test my limits and ordered frogs legs stew in Beijing.  I went with that, because I thought:  That's French innit 'grenouille', that's not funny 'foreign' food, that's European, I can do that.  I did decline the fish head soup though, that's going too far when it still has eyes in its head.

And then I went out with a friend (also in Beijing) and left him to order the food while I nipped to the loo.  I came back and there were some random things on skewers.  What's that?  Chicken stomachs.  Erm, I'll pass, thanks.  What's that?  Beef tendons.  Erm, I'll pass thanks.  What's that?  Snails.  Snails?  That's escargot, I can do escargot.  And then I took a bite and it crunched, and I spat out lots of tiny little shells.  Ooh, you got a pregnant one, said my friend, that's only ever happened to me once before.  Erm, lucky me?  My first go and I get a pregnant one.  Yum.

Hot curried smoked oysters over rice with Major Grey's chutney. My dad and stepmom made me eat this when I was ten, and wouldn't let me away from the supper table until I choked down every bite. --It was also the most vertiginously hideous ***  that I have ever had the misfortune of putting in my mouth.

I had oysters once, never again, I don't want to pick my nose and eat the results for free, so I'm certainly not going to pay through the nose for the privilege of eating a bag of living, briny grey bong-phlegms, they taste every bit as bad as they look too.

While I was in college a few months ago, I ended up getting some durian from the local chinese market, took one bite and passed it around my friends there, there was a quick and unanimous vote on the matter, and it was decided the rest of the durian had to go up into the airvents of a particularly hated and vicious tutor we had

I have had octopus/squid before, I went to turkey, in kusadasi, we used to eat out at a local small diner there, ten quid bought 3 courses for 3 people, including drinks, and I always used to have these squid-bits in batter, with a seafood stew, served in these big assed alcohol burners that kept the food hot for the duration of the meal, I eat various things there, but most nights I was back for more of that squid.

The wierdest thing I have ever eaten though is probably fire ants, while I was in primary school, they taste surprisingly tangy and acidic.

Not sure if this one counts as wierd, or even for that matter, if it counts as food, but the double cheeseburgers with bacon that McDonalds do, once I eat one, I just can't stop until I have had about 6 of the buggers, those things are addictive!

Cat food Natalie? please tell me you mean the crunchies and not the meat? that stuff smells NASTY, especially if its been open a day or two

What did it taste like?
