Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,185 Points:133,525 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Aug 20, 2012 9:35:08 PM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse Went to a flea market where I bought some home made potato chips. They fried them up right in front of me. Served UN-salted. They weren't so much strange tasting as they were unlike brand name chips. Fried in some heavy fat ? Lard? Hope it wasn't alligator renderings as gator meat was being sold across the way.

Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,185 Points:133,525 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Aug 3, 2012 6:08:42 PM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse A spice I find strange and borderline gross is cilantro. It is close to eating a bar of soap. Weird flavor. If not for the fact they put it in Mexican food, I'd be happy to do without it. Another strange one is tarragon. Its like eating black licorice. Simply doesn't go well with any food at all. Even that classic, tarragon chicken, is revolting, a waste of good chicken.
Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,185 Points:133,525 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Aug 3, 2012 6:01:54 PM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse So are we talking about 'strange' tasting or just exotic? Foods like snails and alligator are certainly exotic but not strange tasting. If you didn't know what you were eating you wouldn't even notice. Strange tasting would be something like seaweed (gross - slimy and salty) or limburger cheese (disgusting - reminiscent of a dead rat). Actually snails aren't exotic at all, you can get them at just about any restaurant. Plenty of people like them, - they disgust me though.

Never heard of it 'till I was 20 years old, now its a basic food for me. But to add to my first pick of Limburger cheese, I'll add caviar... ... bought a jar once to try it out. I took the tiniest little lick of some on a cracker. Just enough to get the flavor. I honestly don't see what the appeal of caviar is. Its simply not very interesting in flavor. Mostly just salty. Some buds and I sat around one night sampling the caviar. It was kinda fun as a lark, but to be honest, caviar simply is a boring food.
