Whats the weirdest thing you have put in your mouth/eaten?

[Lory]

I know the "Yellaman" stuff, but it's not called that in SW Scotland. Can't remember what they call it. Puff candy or something like that?

If its the stuff i'm thinking of, we call it 'honeycomb' down here.. it's mainly sold in bags at the seaside ...

I used to love it as a kid but after a while it made your tongue sore

[Jamie]

Erm... need to think about this one

it doesnt have so much of a combe-y bit as honeycomb. More crunchy like the outside but

As a baby I ate my mum's contact lenses.

Voluntarily? As far as I can remember, nothing too weird... (but then I'm still young ).

Otherwise? A stone, when I was about 8. If somebody asks you to close your eyes and open your mouth, you'd better be sure you trust them. (Although, not only did I then close my mouth, it took me a few moments to realise what I was sucking... bright child, no common sense! )

Fugu -- skin, raw and cooked lightly in a broth with noodles and an egg.

My hosts were laughing thinking that I didn't realize but the giveaway was the picture of a somewhat piscine looking football on the wall behind them.

P.S. Does foal count? Ostrich? Crocodile?

I ate a worm when I was a toddler. I'm very fussy about what I put in my mouth now though!

[Missy D]

I had a migraine at a friends house once and he was a true believer of making his own remedies. He made me eat crushed beetle with blood. After an hour and virtually blind i made him go up the shop for some Migralieve.

The other awful thing I ate was a few years ago CJ came to London and said he would like to try this African restuarant. Always up for something new i agreed. We had no idea what we were ordering so kind of left it up to the Waitress. She brought out many unusual dishes and we put a bit of each on our plates. Talking away we sampling all the food when all of a sudden i had taken a mouthful of what only could be discribed as cat poo (no i have never sampled the contents of my cats litter tray). I had no idea which dish it came from so poor CJ had to try each dish with caution. So funny when he actually tasted it (still laughing today). He called the waitress over and she just said it was melon and something else. We then took a big mouthful of rubber tubes with a hint of off. So tough you could only swallow. CJ once again called the waitress over and said "what this"? She replied "chicken"! "chicken stomach". So if anyone is ever near the Harrow Road, London W9 and wants to try some unique cullinary skill then the African restuarant is your place

Erm... need to think about this one

Careful now my lovely, discretion being the greater part of valor etc etc.

You're fussy about what worms you put into your mouth - I don't understand what you mean Cruella

[Twirlie Bird]

I don't think i've put anything bad in my mouth

I am terrible for this sort of stuff. Won't eat anything that looks like it is. Rabbits with heads still on. Yes Stokie bar-b-que'd it like that! Also had horse on that barby too. Wouldn't eat tha cos I knew what it was. Frogs legs - nope. I just dont' think there's any reason to be putting that stuff in your mouth.

Very screamish when it comes to yucky things in mouth. I'm alsmost sick watching the celebs eating bugs on tv. Yuck.

Can I say that I haven't read this thread at all.

I'm just amazed that after 52 replies, it's not gone upstairs.

For me there are two things that spring to mind - one is dog biscuits. Generally they are fairly tastless apart from the black ones which are not that nice. This was deliberate tasting - I thought as my dog gobbled them up they must be ok

Second thing was a whole bottle of off strawberry favoured milk - this was accidental (particularly as I'm a microbiologist!)

Anybody know the Roger Stevens Lecture theatre at Leeds uni? It is 25 different lecture theatres all stacked on top of each other.

WHilst running late for a lecture - I legged it up about 30 flights of stairs - was feeling pretty thirsty/exhausted as I flopped into a seat - so opened my bottle of milk and downed the lot - never really touched the sides. As I finished up - I realised that the milk was about as off as it possibly could be - sprinted back out of the lecture theatre and down another 3flights of stairs and neatly vomited it all back up!

I don't recomend it! As I say Im a microbiologist and have previously worked in the food industry doing complaints testing! Ive seen/smelt/tested some really quite vile off food! Luckily I didn't have to eat any of that though

Sheep's brains on toast is an absolutely exquisite dish. A beautiful delicate flavour, the experience of which is enhanced by the interesting blancmange texture. It's a regular on the menu at Racine and Bibendum in London. I know it sounds gruesome, but it really is delicious. At Racine they chop it up so it's not so obvious what you are eating. At Bibendum it's obvious.

Although I did used to suck my big toe in the bath.

Oh I've done that.. (not just because I'm a Wulf either ) my philosophy was if it's good enough for my pets it was good enough for me. So I tried dog biscuits (I actually quite liked them.. but not the black charcoal ones) , I've eaten hamster food.. (love the yoghurt hamster drops, but the dried food wasn't up to much). Pet choc drops are... "OK" not a patch on Green and Blacks though

I've never tried the dog food/cat food canned goods. but I've eaten tinned meatballs.. same thing really

Although I did used to suck my big toe in the bath.

Taste like chicken??

The good:
Pickled baby octopus

Camel's tongue

Rat stew

and the favourite, baked hedgehog

The bad:

Some unspecified meat that turned out to have been marinated in horse p1ss

Sea urchin

and the lovely:

DT's toes

You dirty boy. I'm never kissing you again.

Here's one you certainly wouldn't want to try at home (warning: this will put you off home cooking for life).
