Snake soup. Anyone know how to procure the prepared snake meat in Ontario? Nobody here makes it as good as they do in Hong Kong, and no other meat comes remotely close.

Ham balls
It's an American Dutch thing
They taste fine, but it just feels wrong that they exist

Hot dog sandwiches my mom made for me

A fruit salad with peanut dressing. And cow nose and lips. Rujak cingur. Lemme find a pic.

>>19696517
Can't find one that shows the muzzle clearly and, once dressed, the other ingredients aren't recognisable so here's a pic of one undressed where the fruits are dipped into the dressing.

Kibbeh Bi Laban (pic)

Deep fried shell of meat and bulghur wheat stuffed with more meat and pine nuts, yogurt sauce with mint, garlic, sometimes egg sometimes in it

Contenders include
Kibbeh nayyeh (raw meat and bulghur wheat paté)
Eggs and awarma (beef preserved in sheep fat)
Hindbeh (dandelion with caramelized onions)

Squirrel jerky.

>>19696493
That actually looks really good.

>>19696463
ahaha you like putting salty balls of meat in your mouth

>>19696310

Rotisserie pig head

>>19696463
That truly looks like Bisquick with small diced ham in it.
Probably pretty damn good.

Cuachala

It's a regional Mexican dish from Jaliso, chicken is shredded and cooked in a sauce, it's near soupy. I ate it with tostadas but lots of pictures online have it with white rice, it's basically a curry. It isn't actually that spicy and I think the flavor profile is broadly pleasing.

fried gator. it was pretty good.

>>19696310
I regularly eat century eggs. They taste great

th-they didn't eat him? r-right bros?

steak tartare and honestly its nothing special and no where near as good as cooked

>>19697046
nice try but i'm not going to post the pics and get banned again

>>19696886
yeah I guess the version I posted was, I got a bad image for it though, the kind I'm talking about are just you make meatballs but with ham and put them in a glazy sauce

uncultured american here
I would happily try these

i don't know wha sneakks they eat in hong kong but the ones i've had were pretty unremarkable and really not worth eating.
that being said i've only had rattle sneak because they're the only ones i kill beside coral sneaks which are to small to even bother skinning and eating
and even in soup its a god awful dry meat kinda like a dried out gamey and chalky chicken breast

>>19697118
If lizards, snakes, rats, bats, etc were really that good they'd be a staple food everywhere but there's a reason we stuck with beef, pork and poultry

>>19696999
I just can't move past the ammonia odor of pidan. It smells exactly like dried up stale cat piss. Balut, on the other hand, tastes exactly like a good chicken soup and if you add the chili vinegar and salt it's divine.

>>19697118
>>19697127
There's a lot of prep that goes into making it so good and worthwhile. Every family member and friend who go back to visit HK all make sure to enjoy their fill of snake soup before coming home. Lady shows off a king cobra among the snakes you can order on the spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVWLC2pMm6E

>>19697137
>snake soup
step one buy shittiest and cheapest out of date chicken breast you can find
step two add several hundred toothpicks
step three boil and sell to morons

>>19697029
>cold-smoked horse meat sausage
Anytime we went up to Danmark to go to Tivoli Gardens when I was a young lad, we'd stop and get smoked horse or smoked horse sausage for sandwiches on the way.

>>19696310

Roast ibex with lingonberries when I was a kid.

Hungarian pork jelly. Pretty good, especially the meat when we cook that shit for 12 hours. Basically melts.

>>19696351
fellow jordanon?

>>19696493
Your mom has made me the exact same hot dog sandwich for breakfast, just like she has for half the people here.

walrus curry in japan.
slather beef in fish oil, have a cute jap girl* puke on it, marinate over night. add to japanese curry.
there you go, walrus curry
*could be anyone but the cute jap girl would make it more palatable

>>19697030

Two things come to mind from time in China.
兔头:Rabbit head. Served somewhat gruesomely, you pick off meat from the skull. Very tasty though.
猪脑: Pig brain. Tried a bite, loathed the taste and texture. Would not order again.

>>19696999
Tried these, I don't understand why they exist. Thought they were disgusting.

My gf got me some whale steaks (Norwegian). Made them with a creamy mushroom sauce and a bit of rice on the side.
Very nice meat. Slightly beefy taste and a hint of liver. Has to be eaten basically raw. Would recommend

>>19697424
Octopus is so based, bros. Especially the way Greeks grill it. I could eat ten plates of it.

>>19697046
>>19697783
you guys know how to create bubbles in bath water

pic related: a regional dish that lot people despite by its name "Saumagen" it translates to pigs stomach.

>>19696310
this thread gave me flashbacks to vietnam and i was never even there in the first place

Barbecued emu, it's almost indistinguishable from beef both visually and flavor/texture-wise which is kind of interesting

>>19696310
>prix fixe menu
Is it common for americans to get whined & dined by urologists?

>>19696613
Me too.
>>19697091
Good thing you said you're an uncultured american, otherwise I would've called you and uncultured american. Also, what's wrong with ham balls? It sounds like peak burgercore.

>>19698249
>maybe a mouthful of meat on the entire head
so the whole point of the dish is shock factor then

Horse sashimi (basashi) in Japan. Not bad, very similar to beef and mainly tastes of the dipping sauce.

Also grilled sparrows in Vietnam, served head on and eaten whole. Not awful but not great, like a less nice version of quail.

>>19698351
>emu
What the hell?? Why is it not white meat like turkey or something?

Beef tripe stew. Stinks while it's being made but is delicious once done.

>>19697424
>>19697454
Both commonly eaten in the Balkans.

I dunno, maybe panhaas (pork bits and corneal made into a cube, head cheese (pork head terrine), or this smoked Ukrainian horse meat sausage that I got on eBay in an unrefrigerated bubble mailer (weirdly soft texture, like uncooked mexican chorizo)

>>19698636
My cousin had horse sashimi on an exchange trip and said essentially the same thing
The sparrow sounds quite nice, I wonder if it’s an adaptation of ortoloan developed during the colonial period?

Hi. >>19696517/>>19696521 here.
With >>19697685's mention of walrus, I just remembered that when I dated an Alaska native some years back, I was fed "eskimo ice cream," which is just frozen berries mashed and whipped with blubber (we used Crisco cuz blubber is hard to find outside of Alaska). It tastes exactly as you'd imagine.

>>19698641
Ever seen duck or goose meat? Both are red.

>>19698652
I eat tripe all the time, it's pretty common in my part of the world.

>>19698641
NTA but emu and ostrich are just different. Being land based, they don't have large breasts like poultry domesticated from airborn birds. Ergo, no white meat. Their meat is basically all dark and since they're like 7 ft tall and run all the time, the meat is crazy lean and muscular. What you get from all that is a rich red meat that rivals any beef you can get in terms of flavor. Especially if you're used to ground 80/20 bullshit from the supermarket. Get you some ground ostrich or emu and change your life.

>>19698839
>domesticated from airborn birds.
Jungle fowl, the direct predecessor of chickens, are not airborne.

>>19696310
Paru Goreng

I was eating it for like 5 minutes and really enjoying it before I asked someone what Paru Goreng means.

Finished it. Enjoyed it. Ordered more.

>>19699083
Beef lung is okay. I'm really but a fan of offal, tho. When I do eat it, I prefer pork

Haggis

>>19696310
For me, it's Shark Fin Soup from some overrated Chinese restaurant in Roppongi. Obscure in the sense that it's illicit in most of the Western world. It's basically tasteless, chew cartilage.

This is the same restaurant that, when ordering Peking Duck, will serve you about two tiny slices of duck with 2 pancake wrappers. No sauce, no scallions, and no shame.

>>19698652
Ordered it once when I was living in South Texas. I wouldn't have minded it so much if it weren't infused with the stench of shit. Had to throw it out.

>>19696493
No kidding, me and >>19697511 actually made your mom a hot dog sandwich... in bed.

fermented shark meat in iceland. tasted like paint thinner and I farted my guts out the next day.

>>19696310
Shoku, a japanese dish of fermented squid and spaghetti

>>19696310
Head cheese

>>19696886
I'm making this, will post results

>>19698917
They *can* fly. Ostrich and emu cannot.

Maybe shiokara? Bits of squid meat and entrails that’ve been salted and fermented

at work lunch, some indian girl brough vermicilli noodles in sweet milk
seemed strange but was pretty good

>>19697134
>Balut
Not for me I don't think, in high school my Indonesian friend took us to an asian market and made another friend try balut. He took one bit and projectile vomited across the parking lot. I'd never seen anyone actually vom after only taking one bite of something, like a spit take but with puke. It was pretty funny.

>>19696463
stfu you filthy mutt we don't have that here in Holland

Pani ca meusa

>never seen anyone actually vom after only taking one bite of something
It's all mental. If he was blindfolded and wasn't told exactly what he was eating he probably would have had no problem, and taken a second and third bite. It doesn't really have any kind of weird flavor or texture; it just looks kind of gross.
