What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten (or would like to try)? Find out on the Internet if it was a healthy choice or not. Did it have any health benefits? How did it make you feel when you ate it? Would you eat it again? Would you prepare it differently? Should everyone be offered a serving of it? Why?
ReplyDeleteFor all my life, I have been done many strange or crazy things, which I don't ever dare to do them again. I used to go to the graveyard at midnight alone or try the roller coaster, which I was scared to death of it's height and speed.
However, the thing I will never forget for my entire life is that I had eaten rat meat. It was when I was in the university 10 years ago. On that day my family and I went back to my Dad's hometown to visit my grandparents. Everybody there was very nice and friendly. They always asked me to try all the foods, fruits and specialties they had. And my cousin, who often played around with me, got me a kind of meat. He told me it was just rabbit and the rabbit here in our hometown was super tasty. It did smell good when I first tried. I didn't feel anything wrong because the meat was so delicious and spicy. I had eaten 2 or 3 dishes and had no doubt or worry about the meat. At the end of the day. I came to my Dad and asked him if we could bring some "rabbit" to the city, and surprisingly my Dad told me it was rat meat. I was in shock when I found out the truth. I even went to the restroom and started to vomit. I felt so terrible and it was disgusting. I couldn't believe I had eaten rat meat. I hated that my cousin had fooled me.
From that day, I felt so terrible every time I saw rats. At the present I feel better, but I would never forget that feeling on that day. Luckily my cousin and I are still best friends and I am now more alerted whenever he asks me to try or eat anything.
So far in my life, I've experienced many delicious foods. But the most strangest things I've eaten is Guacamole - Real Authentic Mexican "Guac". You will have a mixed of avocado with onions, tomato, cilantro and some certain ingredients. This mixed will be eaten with dry pancake. You can add juice of second lime or your favorite tortilla chips for a dip to serve your best taste. The first time I ate this kind of food, I had an impressive taste. This is one option you can consider to choose as the healthy food. Avocado has a powerful beneficial effect on health due to its incredibly nutritious. Besides that, eating this food can help to prevent cancer (based on one study).
ReplyDeleteAs far as I traveled to US I’ve eaten many weird foods like Sushi or any half-baked food like salmon.
ReplyDeleteYour blogs need to be longer than a sentence. Work on writing paragraphs.
DeleteHere are some questions you could have answered: When was your first time trying sushi? Were you with friends? Were you forced to eat it or did you go willingly? How did you feel when you had your first bite? What kind of fish was it? Did you eat it with a fork? chopsticks? fingers? How is this different from your culture?
I eaten the most strangest thing is the rat meat. The rat is field mouse, it has a lot of nutritional value of meat, including high protein, low fat content, and it can help people to therapy some problem of physical. but it also has some bad points, for example, it has variety of bacteria, when people eat it, he or she may be suffering from disease. When I ate it, I feel that meat was very delicious, but I couldn't ate it too much because it is mouse.
ReplyDeleteUnhatched baby duck egg or Balut is one of the most popular street food in Southeast Asia, such as Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand. Balut is known as one of the repulsive food in the world which served with beers or soft drinks on streets in Viet Nam and other Southeast Asia. Balut is a fertilized bird egg (usually a duck) which is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell. Since a balut isn’t an egg, it’s the fertilized embryo of a duck. When eating, you can see inside the shell is the underdeveloped chick. Balut is used together with ground pepper and mint leaves in Vietnam. It contains a lot nutritious. Some my foreign friends were so scared to eat balut. After they tried several times, they loved it taste.
ReplyDeleteIn my country has a lot of strange food, and I have eaten a lot of strange food that for me it good, but for American for other country is so bad and strange. Today I will share one food is good, but for you are very strange. It is a blood duck that is not cook. We just put some of seasoning that makes the taste is better, but it still the real blood. We also put some of inside duck and little of meat. Than before we eat, we would like to put some lime that makes the taste very good. I know it looks very strange, but for me it very good. It is very commend in my country.
ReplyDeleteactually, I have never try something strange. I"m always prefer to eat my favorite food rather than try new one. However, I would like to try octopus soup. I have no idea about its health benefits. I see it a lot in my favorite Chinese restaurant menu, so that's why i want to try it.
ReplyDeleteThe strangest thing I have ever eaten is Balut. It is a traditional food called “hot vit lon” in Vietnam. It is a boiled egg which contains a BOILED baby duck, and yes, we do eat the baby duck along with the egg. I did eat it back in the day when I was a kid, but I only ate the yolk; I didn’t like the idea to put a whole baby duck into my mouth, so I gave it to my dad every time my family have had Balut. According to the Internet, it is good to your health, but I don’t like it. I would not recommend this meal to any of my international friends if they have a chance to visit Vietnam in the future, and I’m definitely not going to eat it again in anytime.
ReplyDeleteThe strangest thing I have ever eaten is squid teeth. I usually eat squid but I never imagine that I can even eat squid teeth. It's the mouth parts of squid which looks like a white marble-sized ball. You can grill, fry or stir fry it, depending on your flavour. I was scared and surprised when I first tried this food, but I have to admit that it is really delicious and worth to try. This food is only popular in seashore cities, so not many people have chance to eat it. Squid teeth becomes one of my favourite snack when I go to the seashore cities although it doesn't bring any health benefits.
ReplyDeleteThere is a kind of food called preserved egg in China. It’s eggshell is same with normal egg, but the albumen is colloid and the yolk is gray-green. One way of making it is preserving duck or chicken eggs in a mixture of lime, salt, and tea leaf for several months. Some people love it, but some people think it is the most terrible food even some Chinese also cannot accept it.
ReplyDeleteThe strangest thing I have eaten is pig’s blood cake, and it is made of pig’s blood. Pig’s blood cake is very famous in Taiwan; furthermore, it is very cheap. People can easily find it in lots of places, such as 7-11, night market and traditional restaurant. People cook pig’s blood cake in different ways. It can be fried or steamed. Sometimes, people put it into hot pot or soup. Pig’s blood cake is the 10 weird foods in the world because of its materials. Although pig’s blood makes people feel disgusted, it is very delicious; moreover, some research show that pig’s blood is good for health. It can prevent hypertension and strengthen immune system.
ReplyDeleteSo far I have not had any odd experiences with foodstuff anywhere because I am a person who quite good in adapting new cuisine style. However, I always remember the coffee was made with a raw egg in it which I drank from 4 ~ 5 year ago when I traveled Dalat (a famous city for its beautiful natural scenery in Vietnam) with my friends. People called it "egg coffee" At first taste I was impressed since the coffee's flavor is similar to flan cake. However, after some more sips, my stomach became upset and the smell of the egg's yolk made my throat uncomfortable. Although people said this kind of coffee is good for your health rather than the original black one (egg contains lots of nutrition) I could not finish that cup of coffee from back then.
ReplyDeleteIn future, when I come back to my country, I maybe try to make egg coffee and of course I will make it more delicious than the one I took years ago. If you guys have a chance to visit Vietnam, I am very pleased to introduce you our Vietnamese cuisine, especially egg coffee :D
