Reddit user Tyroneous13 asked: 'What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?'

There are a lot of strange foods out there.

It could be food we've eaten before with a twist, like pickle ice cream (yes, that's real)! Or it could be multiple foods we've eaten before that are put together in a combination we'd never thought of.

And of course, it could be something you've never heard of and would never try.

Redditors know this all too well, and they are ready to share the weirdest thing they've ever eaten.


It all started when Redditor Tyroneous13 asked:

– Naive-Button3320

" NASA is studying termites as a food source on long space missions. The termites would help recycle organic matter and be ground into flour for boosting the astronauts’ diet."

– Renaissance_Slacker

How Upsetting!

"I thought it was weird at the time and I was so upset: Bubble tea."

"I was in Grade 1 and was invited to my old besties' family picnic. They're from the Philippines. I'm a white-looking girl...the only blondie at the (very large) gathering."

"Her older boy cousins handed me a glass of this red liquid with gooey little spheres in the bottom of the glass. They told me it was fish eyeballs and flavoured blood...and I had to drink the blood amd eat the eyeballs, otherwise I'd insult their family."

"I was so scared I tried the liquid and it tasted like strawberry but I was so confused."

"So yeah."

"Fish eyeballs and strawberry-flavoured blood."

– ZookeepergameSea3890

Yikes!

"I had escargot as a kid. I figured a garden snail was the same thing, so I ate one. I quickly found out it was not the same."

– Jack915

"You might have dodged a bullet, some slugs and snails carry Rat Lungworm, read a horror story about a kid who ate a slug on a dare and ended up with worms in his brain. No bueno."

– Renaissance_Slacker

I Never Wondered Either

"In the grand scheme of things it probably isn't that strange but the first time eating Kangaroo felt a little as close as it gets. Growing up i never thought "i wonder what it tastes like" but there i was eating some, at least that is what they told me it was."

– JeffreyJWhitea

– AirCautious2239

Ew!

"Deep fried Pigeon feet"

"It was at a fancy LA restaurant, I think it was called Animal. I also had a bone marrow appetizer, and chicken hearts with a pomegranate glaze. It was great, but the pigeon feet had a texture I didn't like and will never forget. Like eating soft plastic bones."

– rollercoastertyc

Poor Unfortunate Sebastian

"A whole dried candied crab. Tasted like someone had sprinkled sugar on the ocean's a**hole. Got stuck in my teeth and wouldn't go away."

If I Had Known...

"Ostrich steak, pretty good."

– 96vette

"I had this too, texture of a steak with the flavour of steak and bacon combined, it's amazing 😍"

– NTB1997

Ostrich steak actually is pretty good, but if I had known that's what I was eating, I wouldn't have continued eating.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

In the words of Lorelai Gilmore, "Eat in ignorance and enjoy..."
