What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

I am a type of person who is fairly fond of tasting various kinds of food. In my spare time, I look for some new and famous dishes on local websites for teenagers. That is a common way I can spend time with my friends. I like mostly every type of red meats and seafoods, however, I cannot bear the food that is too spicy, because after eating them, I cannot taste anymore together with a really bad runny nose. 

Among all the food that I have eaten, the most strangest one that I can remember is the fried grassshopper.  When I was on the summer trip to Cambodia last year with my family, the tour guider took us to a  Cambodian market with many sort of things. I stood in front of a food kiosk with grasshopper and other kinds of insect. At the first sight, it seemed to be really horrible, dirty and disgusting, thus I did not want to taste it at all. However, as my cousins challenged me so badly, without any other choices, I had to buy it. To be honest, even though the tour guider said that it is really famous here and tasty, but for me, its flavour was weird and strange. It was crispy, a little bit burnt and I really could not taste the meat inside. In fact, I don't like it very much, but I am so happy to taste it at least once.

  1. I've heard of chocolate-covered grasshoppers, but I'm not sure how I feel about fried insects all by themselves. I might need chocolate to choke that one down! You're bold to try it.

  2. Wow! I have always wondered how they tasted. I have heard that they taste delicious! Do you think you would ever try to the chocolate covered one that Robyn mentioned? Hmm...the chocolate covered one sounds pretty interesting/delicious!
