FOOD
I like meat. I walked around Cotswold Wildlife Park at the weekend, wondering mostly what each animal tastes like. The ostriches look pretty tasty, as did the big ol' pigs. What's the most exotic thing you've eaten?
(I helped save b3ta! Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 10:30, 232 replies, latest was 14 years ago)
I've eaten ostriche
and I have cheese flavoured crickets in my cupboard.

My dad cooked with crocodile meat once. He wrapped them in choux pastry just for the pun of it

Swordfish or Wild Boar for me

(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 10:32, Reply)
I've had ostrich, wild boar and quite a lot of game
and pigeon. Nothing truly exotic though
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 10:34, Reply)
alligator, swordfish or shark probably
don't particularly rate any of them. A decent tuna steak is nicer than swordfish or shark or marlin (although that comes close)

my scalp is so fucking itchy
the rest is ok. I still haven't slept much and feel weird. Almost all the spots are gone from my forehead now though. it seemed to start at the top and work its way down, so will probably leave that way too.

(I helped save b3ta! Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 10:40, Reply)
yeah, apparently you are contagious from 2 days before the spots appear until the last one has crusted over
first one appeared saturday before last, but I've had so many I'm not totally convinced that they'll be done by Monday. One of my colleagues is pregnant so I really don't want to risk giving it to her. If I go back next week on Monday I only have 4 days before I leave that job though...

aside from the contagion aspect, I feel shit and have hardly slept for a week and a half

Ummm, probably octopus or frogs legs. Neither have particularly strong flavours though.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 10:36, Reply)
I've eaten kangaroo, that was nice
Shark was like salty beef. People are like a sweeter version of pork Those are the most exotic, I'd say. Those two.

Ooh, recently I've been eating out more
and I've tried squid and lobster - not that exotic but they are for me, as I'm not much for seafood. Quite pleasant, but not sure why people get so excited about lobster. Could just have been badly prepared, I guess.

Seafood is lovely, the swordfish I had was one of the best meals I've ever had.

I'd recommend sushi, but my two favourite things to get from the sushi place I went to were egg and beef, not fish.

No, well, yes and no, there the big green things that most people don't actually know how to to eat.
How you should eat them, or at least, how I find them most enjoyable, is to boil up the head until you can pick an outter leaf off easerly. Get a big bowl of mayo/aloli. You then pick off a leef and hold it by the tip, then dip the base of the leef in the mayo, just a smidgin, and put it in your mouth [the inside side of the leef against the bottom teeth, so your scrape out the white stuff]... then when you get to the end or you get bored, you take out the 'choke' with a spoon, spread mayo over the top of it, and enjoy (that's the best bit).

Most people eat them raw and only eat the heart, which is a real waste of time.

I had a scotch egg the other day
that had gone off in such a weird way that the white had split into thick papery sheets that looked like when you cut into an artichoke.

I feel a bit sick just thinking of it actually.

it came from Cafe Quattro on York Road opposite the Shell Building. So don't ever eat there.

Actually, thinking about it, I'm not sure what is more troubling to the uninitiated
Granted, there's an awful lot of fat in the English version, but there's also a lot of barley and it does have a firm, sausage-like texture. The French/Belgian version is a lot less fatty, but is also a lot squidgier and, given its contents, could be compared to a giant leech.

Upper St in Islington is just up from Kings Cross
and has dozens of resataurants. It's probably the nearest place to Euston where there are lots of choices.

Otherwise specific areas specialise in different cuisines: Kingsland Rd: Vietnamese, Whitechapel: curry, Dalston: Turkish etc

If you have to stay round Euston there are a handful if Indian restaurants very nearby
and a few places just down Gower Street. But you are better to move a little further away. You could always move over to Fitzrovia and the Charlotte Street area too.

Today I was walking into work, minding my own buisness, listening to my music, when what did I spy but they've painted the japanese food place I go to most days.
"Wow", thought I, "That looks good. Wait a sec, what's that?" as I spy they've re-arranged things around, and guess what? They've only gone and gotten hotplates and hotfood section. That's right folx, the main reason why I got my bento box before was for the chicken balls, but now you get them by themselves. Not only that, but they've got goyza and spring rolls and a few different types of chicken balls and katsu prawns and noodles and sweet'n'sour and lots and lots and lots of things.

So for lunch today, I've got 6 chicken ball things, 3 goyzas, 2 prawns, all smothered in amazing teryaki sauce. BOO YAH.
