The unusual food thread

Oh Kaybee, the Hawaiian side of my family salts their watermelon, too. I'd never heard of others doing that. I wonder if it's the Japanese influence in Hawai'i.

i don't know- ages ago she used to make a jello-like thing with seaweed and fishcake in it- it was alright.

The salted plums I had were from fresh, juicy plums.

It's not an unusual food, but I LOVE sauerkraut. I can eat it out of the jar, it's so good.

I also like burgers with everything on it. Sometimes they can get a little exotic.

i used to like eating sauerkraut cheddar cheeseburgers, with bacon and fried egg in 'em.

That sounds amazing. I've never thought to put sauerkraut on a burger. Gotta try that next time.

consult with your cardiologist first- unless you delete everything but the buns and sauerkraut.

Believe me, I used to eat worse than that. Haha

Anyone eaten huhu-grub? Too scared to try myself, but heard they taste "creamy" eaten raw.

Ooooh, the sauerkraut burger reminds me of one of my favorite sandwiches that I think I picked up from my grandfather. It is sauerkraut, baked potato, and a fried egg on a sandwich. Yum!

Are those larvae? I'd die before ever willingly eating something like that. I'd rather eat myself, first, if I was starving to death. Or better just to die, as I couldn't live after having maimed myself by eating pieces of myself... :l

One very weird food, exclusive to Sweden, common at special occasions, where I live, here, is 'surströmming', or sour herring. It's herrings that have fermented and are very salty. They usually are eaten in a type of roll sandwich with pieces of potatoes, and I guess maybe some other stuff (don't eat it, myself). Even though some Japanese food jury voted it the smelliest food in the world, it's not actually rotten, and even has some benefits to the health. The EU may end up banning it, though, as they find that the levels of dioxins in it are too high... they are very stupid that way and think that cucumbers have to be straight, tomatoes look like all other tomatoes do (banning some exotic types from being sold), and other random shìt, while the horrid company Monsanto's poisonous GMO corn that leads to liver failure, with antibiotics and pesticides in every DNA string, are considered "scientifically sound". Man I fùcking hate the EU. -_-;;

Anyway..... I have tasted surströmming when I was little... it tasted neither good nor bad to me, although I tasted very little, as the smell has always instantly put me off. My parents love it, though, and so do many others... many who eat it mean that it's addictive. x_x I guess you need not to be completely put off by flies in the vicinity instantly being attracted to it, if you're prepared to like it so much. >_<

Oh, saladitos!! Those remind me of my childhood. My brothers and I used to buy them at the corner market. Man, my mouth is puckering just seeing the picture! They are really good stuck in the middle of a cut lemon, then you lick across the whole thing.



LOL That's standard WASP fare.

Cereal with yogurt. I had no milk so I used yogurt.

i had a dream once where i was eating roast beast and who hash. it wasn't especially yummy.

I am sure that this is the most unusual food that was eaten to be listed on this thread: Deadly Nightshade. I ate it my accident, thinking it was a different wild edible plant. I don't remember what I ate with it (sassafras tea?) It isn't an unusual combination as the original post intended, but unusual none the less. As you can tell, I survived it. Wild edible plants was a special interest of mine. In case you were wondering, the nightshade did not convince me to move to a different special interest, but I was more careful after that.

An unusual combination of more typical food was what I was eating when I found the thread we are now on. I combined an Indian entree called Aloo Mutter with some coconut milk (cream) along with Mexican style salsa and puffed brown rice. By this time, it was not as spicy as I liked, so I added some cayenne pepper. Unlike the nightshade, I can recommend it highly!
