44 Times People Tasted Something Unusual Whether On Purpose Or By Accident

Armadillo. Never meant to have it, but was staying on a farm and the dog brought it. Owner wouldn't leave it to waste. Tastes like chicken.

Yew berries. The only nonpoisonous part of a tree that every other part is deadly. Including the seed inside.

Do not recommend.

A prickly pear. They’re native to my country so we eat then regularly, but whenever I’ve seen someone react to it (that’s not Mexican), they just act like it’s something from another planet.

Termites, and it was surprisingly good. Minty if I recall correctly, was many years ago.

We grew up on a farm and my brother watched some survival TV show where they were hunting for their own food and cooking it after. He was able to catch a toad, created a fire and cooked and sliced it up afterwards. Me, as the little girl looking up to her older brother (me: 6, him: 8), of course had to taste it. I don’t think it’s really common….

Dunno if this counts but I know a guy who ate a paper cup, just straight up ate a paper cup.

A bat slow-cooked whole, skin, guts, and all, tossed right into the pot.

Raw plantain. It's worse than petrol.

Cuy or so called "guinea pig" delicious and a delicacy in Colombia.

Reindeer.

It was when I was younger, very similar to other red meat.

Callamus root, a quasi psychadelic akin to nutmeg kind of, terrible experience all round do not reccomend.

Denso tape. Health and safety be damned! I was not climbing back down that mast just for a knife.

Possibly horse sashimi.

Squirrel milk.

Paraffin. (Edit to add: liquid Parrafin, not wax. Lamp oil in the US? Please correct me if wrong)

Not as bad as you'd expect.. still don't recommend it.

Camel hump stew in egypt.

Cow s**t.
I was explaining something to fresher farm workers when the cow decided to stomp into a pile of it.

Cougar and bear. Used to go hunting in Wyoming every year with my dad. The hunting guide did everything from Bears, cougars, elk, deer, bison, turkeys, prairie dogs, etc. He was one of those people who had an industrial meat grinder in the back, and his wife used most of their kills for meals in the house. He joked that he hadn’t bought beef in 20 years. Made the mistake of asking him what the weirdest meat was in his fridge. He Got the most wicked smile and came back with some homemade summer sausages. he gave me a slice and asked me if I could guess what it was. It was incredibly gamy, only thing that made it palatable was the spices he’d mixed with it. It had a very odd aftertaste that kind of reminded me of the flavor you get in your mouth after drinking diet cola. Never in 1 million years would’ve guessed it was cougar and he was dying of laughter at the look on my face when he told me. He also had some sausage made out of bear. That one was also gamy and had a very strange “butter” flavor to it, but it was not delicious like butter…
Still, it was good to know he wasn’t putting the animals to waste.

Cow brains. My family in Mexico considered it a special treat. The texture was like scrambled eggs and the flavor was pretty mild.

Chicken dipped in chocolate .
