I just ate something 95% of you would NEVER eat...

Ugh! I don't think I'd ever eat that. I imagine the smell of it is enough to make you not want to have it near you let alone in your mouth.

I have lived in six different countries and done my very best to sample the indigenous native cuisines or at least the national cusines of each place... and the rotten skate was bad but not nearly as bad as the Mayan maggots I ate in the yucatan... at least they were fried, in Kulusuk they served them while they are still moving- the only things I eat that are still moving are human... you have to draw the line someplace.

There is supposed to be a cheese in Italy that is purposely left outside so that flies can lay their brood in it over an extended period of time. Apparently its illegal, but practiced regularly in certaion regions. That would qualify as a "never in my lifetime" cuisine choice

I've eaten some weird things myself. One summer I was an exchange student in Peru. We stayed in a very small indian village. I probably ate the weirdest things in my life that summer. The first night there they served guinea pigs for dinner. They had the heads still attached. That was very disturbing.

I use to visit Honduras some summers while in high school to do missionary work at Baxter University- an international well known christian college. One time we visited after a hurricane hit Tegucigalpa (the capital). The city's conditions were horrible. All the shacks were no where to be found, store fronts were unrecognizable, etc. We volunteered at an orphanage where they fed the children rats for lunch that day. It was the only thing they had. You can bet they weren't domesticated rats either. These were rats they probably found out in the alley behind their facilities. It was the most disgusting sight ever. Luckily, while in Tegucigalpa I never ate anything outside Baxter, which was the only civilized establishment in the city.

Once in Mexico I ate instestine tacos. They were actually very tasty.

Guinea pigs with heads still attached?? i would like to get a bite out of its neck. Secondly, rat meat is not so bad after all. It actually tastes better than chicken. Give it a try where its available if u are the man. Anyways the only problem is that rats grow hair not only on the outside of their skin but inside as well. So, hair always ends up with the meat, just like fish bones. So don't eat any other color rat but white, unless u are ok with the hair. White hair on lovely white meat is almost unnoticable. Expect it a little slimy as well. And its cooks quick too. Five to ten mins on low fire. If u have coal thats awesome. Bon Apetite.

Yea, the heads were served with those guinea pigs. It was really nasty.

I wouldn't eat rat meat. That's too Survivorish for me. Not even for 1 million dollars or however much they pay those contestants on Survivor. Yuck! They are dirty animals. My friend has one as a pet. She says he is a domesticated and clean rat but I don't care. To me it's still a nasty and dirty rat. I have never even touched the damn thing. She holds it and lets it sit on her shoulders.
