For me it would be crawfish. I'm not very adventurous when it
comes to food.

Crickets. Just to impress (freak out) my daughter's friends. You know, the birthday party was kind of dragging..... and a man has to do what a man has to do. It wasn't that bad, and it definitely livened the party up.:)

and i also think the "roast beef" they were serving us was actually "camel" because i know what beef tastes like, and it had a little more zip that plain ole beef. it was pretty good though.

Nifty Spam Trivia!
By World War II, Hormel had sold twenty thousand tons of Spam. Then, during the wartime meat rationing, Spam got popular...
If all the cans of Spam ever eaten were put end-to-end, they would circle the globe at least ten times.
In the U.S. alone, 3.8 cans of Spam "are consumed every second"(assuming SPAM is eaten 24 hours a day, 365.25 days a year).
Senator Robert Byrd of West Viginia eats a sandwich of SPAM and mayonnaise on white bread three times a week.
Residents of Hawai'i eat an average of four cans of SPAM per person per year, more than in any other place on Earth (Elsewhere in the Universe, who knows?).
By 1959, a billion cans of SPAM had been sold. The two billion mark was hit in 1970, followed by three billion in 1980, four billion in 1986, and five billion in 1993. That's a lot of SPAM!
In Korea, SPAM is sold in stylish presentation gift boxes of nine cans each. SPAM stolen from army PXs can be found on the Korean black market. And there are Korean imitations called Lo-Spam, Dak, Plumrose, and Tulip, to ensure that no one need go without.
Nikita Krushchev once credited SPAM with the survival of the WWII Russian army. ''Without SPAM, we wouldn't have been able to feed our army,'' he said.
SPAM is sold in over 99% of U.S. grocery stores.
The SPAM luncheon meat trademark is registered in 93 countries.
Over 60 million people in the U.S. eat SPAM.
SPAM is made in two U.S. locations - Austin, Minnesota, and Fremont, Nebraska - and seven other countries: England, Australia, Denmark, Phillipines, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea.
In 1989, the U.S. armed forces bought 3.3 million pounds of SPAM.
Over 141 million cans of SPAM are sold worldwide each year.
Isn't that amazing? But it's all true!

I was in Madrid, Spain years ago and ate baby Octopus. When you bit into them, their heads would burst and your mouth would be full of ink. Nasty now that I think about it, but it was late and it was after we were tosca (bar) hopping!

I tried some baby octopus at a chinese buffet in Austin one time. But it was like trying to chew rubber, and had very little taste, but what taste it did have wasnt good. So I spit it out and moved on.
Thats why i love chinese buffets.
