A while ago I posted about snail caviar which was reported to be becoming popular in France and now we read on the BBC that Thai's are increasingly fond of fried Rat. Whatever next? It's the statement by a customer that Rat livers and hips are the best parts of the animal to eat though that makes me feel sick. I would bet that the Thai's then are a little disappointed that the 1-ton rodent described by scientists recently is extinct. Certainly would have produced more of that chicken tasting meat.

In the southern USA I have eaten fried Alligator - not that bad as it tastes like tough chicken meat - but I drew the line at Rocky Mountain Oysters in Colorado (Cow testicles) and I am not a lover of seafood either especially shellfish and Octopus. This got me thinking about disgusting foodstuff and trying to think of good examples. Sheep eyeballs and brains are a delicacy in some parts of the world while my father used to love his tripe and onions (which I believe is Cow stomach right?).

So, I did a quick Internet search and found this delightful video about just horrendous foods... watch and get ready to feel your flesh crawl...

Finally, its a funny thing that I chose this topic today because I am still trying to recover from the sick feeling I got last night watching the movie Hannibal when he has a guy eat some of his own fried brain - yuk! Pass the sick bag Alice please......
