We don't have real fish here, but we do have "Rocky Mountain Oysters," which after 22 years of living in Colorado, I still have yet to try. Just down the road is a Restaurant/Bar (one of two in that town) that specializes in them.

ok... horse.. and .... shall we call "inland oysters" are a step too far for me.

Yeah, I don't eat horse, either. I live around too many of them that might get suspicious. :3_eyes:

I needed that laugh this morning. :)

Grynch, Gun is a REAL European, not a foreign one.
And a French one at that.

I've eaten horse (in France).
Not something I feel the need to repeat.
It was cooked. And tough.

Have had Steak Tartare, Sashimi, Gravlax and countless dishes containing raw eggs.
I live yet.

Have also eaten various insects. Prepared to Western tastes, bought from a specialist shop by Nanny and Grandad. My sister retched so of course I had to prove myself by eating them. The ants were the nicest.

I couldn't go on I'm A Celebrity... though. Even if my sister was there I could not face a live witchetty grub or vomit fruit. Dead things I can handle, moving things or fruit that smells like puke I really couldn't keep down.

I've never said he wasnt french - I've only said I could not eat horse

Sushi Luve it !!
Oysters , cooker or raw Luve em !!
Steak Tartar , , cant say as Ive ever tried it
but I like my steaks Rare ,
as a friends Aunt Once said " Hell hun , just slap it the head with a shovel and wave a match under its ass !!!"

Been there, done that too (but the insects were cooked). And, same taste: ants are best.

I've eaten something close to "Rocky Mountain Oysters" called "Amourettes de mouton". Usually, it is lamb testicles with the de rigueur cream sauce.



One I cannot make myself too eat are fresh crabs out of a bloody raw clam. ;)

In case some of you are curious, horse meat is more tasty than beef, less fat, more proteins and iron. It can be prepared as ground meat, steack, roast or saussage.

And, we're not talking about race horses here, but draft horses raised specifically for their meat.

It is said to be very good for pregnant women and anemic people. I cannot say if it is true as I am neither.

Also, the southern part of France has some specialties of ass saussage. It is very good, at least in my opinion. And no, I'm not talking about some backside.

Dad once cooked some horsemeat up. As i recall it smelt awful when it was cooking.

Not as bad as the puffball mushroom steaks he dried out in his back room...

Only eaten Steack Tartare once, one afternoon à Paris. I'd do it again.

Guacamole. The mole is quite raw, even if the chips you scoop it up with aren't.

My one regret about my tour in northern Japan was I didn't eat more sashimi dinners. Sushi, of course, is accessible to anyone not blindsided by timidity.

The decline of Orange Julius began when they pulled their add-a-raw-egg option from the menu in a national salmonella scare. It's not worth going to them for a beverage now. Now you have to search the 'Net, make it yourself, and assume any risk on your own. No problem with that myself.

Another. He doesn't like putting in an egg. But I prefer to.

One with egg white

Raw goat's milk, every day.

raw honey too.

I had my first actual raw sushi (I'd restricted myself to California rolls and things that contained smoked meats and that fake krab/whitefish stuff for the longest time) a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't die from it, it was fairly tasty.

And when it isn't, that's what the wasabi and ginger are for, right?
