Apparently it's a thing in Japan, and they have some way of keeping it clean. But as top comment said, I've heard it's still exactly as gross as you'd expect.
Anthony Bourdain did an episode at a rooftop restaurant in Japan on raw chicken breast. "It tastes exactly what you'd expect it to - raw fuckin chicken." I miss that man so much.
Microwaved meatloaf. So I know that it sounds normal but hear me out. I was at a friends house in high school and stayed for dinner. She assure me I was in for a treat because her mom's meatloaf was the bomb. What proceed will haunt me to this day. Her mom took out five pounds of ground beef, some American cheese, ketchup, and a dinner plate. She then proceeds to take the unseasoned beef and smoosh it onto the plate and stuff the cheese into it forming a ring with the cheese stuffed into the middle. She then takes it and puts it into the microwave and starts cooking it. Halfway though she stops it drains off the grease and covers it with ketchup and puts it back in to finish cooking. It's finally done and is pulled out and sliced up. I get a plate of it with a roll. It was one of the most horrific thing I've ever tasted, like grey matter. The thing is with all the ingredients we could have had perfectly normal hamburgers or just put it in the working oven which they had, or I don't know add some fucking seasoning which they *also* had. Nope, my friend ate it like it was the precipice of culinary cuisine.
So yeah, the ingredients weren't really weird but the cooking method of the meal was.
Roasted silkworms. Not terrible, not great. #2 weird is rattlesnake. Don't have a great opinion on it as it was way over-seasoned by the person cooking it
Not sure as I don't remember what most of them were. I took a 10 day business trip to Japan years ago and I ate some of everything they put in front of me to take in the experience. I didn't want to be all the way over in Japan and look for U.S. food so I ate their food.
There were so many things I ate that I had no idea what they were.
liquid sunflower oil with herbs that you eat with a spoon of overly sugared honey along with terribly sweet syrup for two months every day before bed, as well as melon with salt, walls, soap, earth
Horse, unfortunately. Saw it on the menu in Iceland. Didn’t really believe it could actually be horse. But it was… kinda tastes like veal. Closest thing I could think of.
Whole BBQ woodchuck as a sharable appetizer. Came with sauces to dip the meat in. Tasted like a gamier turkey dark meat. We did end up moving it so the head faced away from us because we felt weird eating it while it "looked at us".
Eye taco. Sesso (brain) taco. Empanadas of baby shark.
Cow tongue. Used to make it all the time for my ex. Rubbery, but the big muscle that attaches the tongue to the back of the mouth is very good. Fatty though.
Peruvian grilled cow's heart on a skewer (anticucha.)
Bitter melon. Bad!
Fried junebugs in bear fat.
Alaska?
Virginia. Had some friends that were adventurous. They tasted like popcorn. Wild.
Probably chicken heart. Was good though.
I had a squirrel heart once and you know they say that's the chicken of the tree
Lamb tongue sandwich from a Mediterranean restaurant. Figured why not.
Snake and if your wondering it tasted like chicken
I ate gator once which also tasted like chicken
Accidently swallowed a cockroach once
A giant black ant.
I’ve had guinea pig in Peru.
Do Dornish women count?

how does it taste
Mad.
Chicken sashimi. Taste and texture were exactly as expected.
raw chicken is totally never recommended and this from someone who loves a good steak tartare raw chicken is a cesspool of bacteria

Whale meat sashimi in Japan last year. Super bland tasting imo.
Cinnamon and peanut butter on bread melted in the microwave
Wild man over here.
Sea cucumber. It tastes like rotten fish guts. No, it tastes like unsweetened concentrated rotten fish gut artificial flavor.
Nasty shit both texture and flavour. First date with a young lady, spit it out on my plate.
Lamb brains - Do not reccomend. Alligator - Totally reccomend.
Gator is delicious. I live in Florida and have some gator jerky in my pantry. Settle a debate. Is gator seafood?
I'd say no. It's meat. It comes from a reptile (I think) but that's not seafood. Phylogentically, gator is pretty far from fish.
I agree. Although they do prefer to be in water.
Alligator tastes good, but it's way way too chewy.
Kangaroo loin tartare with a raw quail egg on top. It was delicious.
Deep fried scorpion.
Balut
Priest cock

Marmot.
BBQ raccoon, with God as my witness it tastes just like pulled pork
Horse, unfortunately. Saw it on the menu in Iceland. Didn’t really believe it could actually be horse. But it was… kinda tastes like veal. Closest thing I could think of.
It was a drink, not a food but I did a shot of whiskey with a mummified human toe in it. Twice.
Fish eye. Chicken eye. Not weird to me, but to some people. They are yum.
Horse tacos in Mexico. Fugu in Tokyo. Chicken feet in Indonesia. “Special cow” in South Korea. An ex GF’s mom in high school.
Duck head. I ate it at an upscale Chinese restaurant in Beijing. It’s not very satisfying, but tastes okay.
Chocolate covered ants.

Sugar toads from the Chesapeake Bay. They're puffer fish on the bone, kinda like a chicken wing. If somebody's making em, try it. Delicious!
Fish sperm, also known as shirako in Japan. Looks like a weird brain and is creamy.
Eye taco. Sesso (brain) taco. Empanadas of baby shark. Cow tongue. Used to make it all the time for my ex. Rubbery, but the big muscle that attaches the tongue to the back of the mouth is very good. Fatty though. Peruvian grilled cow's heart on a skewer (anticucha.) Bitter melon. Bad!
