Englebert Posted August 1, 2016 Report Posted August 1, 2016 I'm not very adventurous when trying exotic or strange foods. I grew up with Cajun friends so I have eaten some things: Blackbird Squirrel Coon Nutria Gar Dog food (had to try it once) Had to swallow my pride a few times. Quote

Been a while since I've been there. Last time, I had a whole plate full of food. Started back to my table and saw this gigantic bowl of already peeled boiled shrimp. Had to take plate to table & go back and get a plate full of them. Average person would've been in trouble, but I maned up and ate it all, and like you, couldn't eat dessert. UTfanatic 1 Quote
tvc184 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Posted August 2, 2016 If squirrels, various birds, gator , wild pig and deer are strange.... I guess I have eaten something strange. Those seem like everyday fare in southeast TX but obviously not everyone has eaten it. Seems far from "strange" however. "Maybe" in that category that I have eaten is pig ear salad and jellyfish salad..... and maybe strange for most people (including me), haggis. UTfanatic 1 Quote
