A world of gourmet foods

I think I’ll pass on the deep fried spiders and bulls private bits but guinea pigs and rats? Why not? Most of us don’t bat an eyelid at the thought of eating rabbit so I don’t see the difference really! Perhaps they could be presented in a more appetising way though![/I]

I would also pass on the insects too aslo any thing that still has a face such as that sheeps head. but if the Guinea pig and Rat were presented as a ‘steak’ I would give it a go even the ducks tongue looked appetising till i found out what it was. As for the Haggis mmmmmmmm bring it on lol

The horrible diseases rats carry would put me off eating one, plus I can’t imagine there would be much meat on one (not as much as on a rabbit – same goes for guinea pig).

I can’t bring myself to eat snails when we go to Belgium, my Mum keeps telling me how nice they are and how much I’d like them but I just can’t! I remember ripping one out of its shell when I was a kid and I always remember how gross it looked with the innards hanging down, I’ve never eaten anything like that since.

This year we’re planning to tackle andouillette sausages – which have strips of pigs guts inside them and are supposed to stink like a farmyard. I have no idea what they’ll be like.

and had the worm at the bottom of a tequila (I don’t think it’s technically ‘tequila’, but it’s similar) bottle.

It’s actually Mezcal sometimes spelt Mescal ..made from the heart of the agave cactus..i’ve had it a few times but draw the line at consumption of the worm

Prepared and cooked properly, haggis is almost a delecacy! Beautiful.

I like to try as many foods as I can no matter how ‘odd’ they are, just to experience as much of life as I can before I snuff it.

I’ve had the worm filled lollies before in Arizona, and had the worm at the bottom of a tequila (I don’t think it’s technically ‘tequila’, but it’s similar) bottle. The rest of those things seem a little bit extreme, but I’d like to think I could push myself to try them.

Bit of a catch 22: the smell and certainly the sight puts a lot of people off, but you do have to think – a lot of people eat these things already. It’s very much a mental issue that has to be overcome to eat these things.

i have had crickets. quite vile they were.

I think the Haggis may have been slipped in there by mistake

I think I’ve just gone off chicken!

…tastes like chicken…. :diablo:

*vomits*

The thought of eating a spider makes me want to hurl … I can’t stand looking at them alive, let alone dead.

Those guinea pigs looked ruddy awful, i would rather eat my own knee caps with a spoon than eat them, awful, just awful 😮

I know the feeling. Driving a clapped out Tranny a few years ago something hairy got into the back via the unlocked doors at Gretna and gave me a shock when I stopped at Abington!:eek:

You do get the odd one trying to leap onto the trailer’s undercarriage around the Alnwick area, attempting to get back across the border…:diablo:

Plenty of room to smuggle it in an artic 😉

Indeed – do you ever smuggle Scots back to where they belong?:diablo:

hmmmm sea horse on a stick.nice

Plenty of room to smuggle it in an artic 😉

Who moi?! :diablo:

I’m amazed that Rank Hovis ever gets through border control at Berwick.:D

Who moi?! :diablo:

7&8 are by far the worst… 😉

As to the others, well, I think either you’re all just squeamish, or haven’t had the pleasure of visiting the eateries in a motorway services for a good while!:D

Ooh! You little tinker – stirring the Scots again! I stealed myself to look at all of them and the eyes in 15 say it all, really, don’t they? I feel I know that face……:eek::diablo:
