[JOHNYORK]

ive had a bunch of sick shit. if it was on the table for dinner u had to eat it. worst was cow intestine (tripe) in tomato sauce w/peas. just one of the many sicilian "delicacys" i was forced to eat.

 

[fantasma62]

I swallowed a quarter once playing, well, you know....quarters...

It tasted like a quarter.

I wasn't stupid drunk when I drank the quarter, but I was getting there and well, I was the last to finish my drink (on purpose) and I chugged beer, quarter, everything...

Don't know when I passed it, but I either passed it or 17 years later it is still somewhere in my system....

 

[forum9351]

I could eat so much in one sitting early on in high school even though Iweighed only about 140 lbs. I ate two, one pound burgers in 24 minutes. It was a bet and i lost since I had to eat them in 20 minutes. oh well

Tripe is the lining of a cow's stomach. My mother bought it once out of curiosity and no one would try it.

my brothers and i used to dare each other to swallow rocks. a quarter must've hurt going down. i accidentally swallowed an ice cube once because i'd mixed myself a screwdriver before a school dance and heard my parent's car. ouch.

Actually, it hurt for a moment as it went thru my esophagus, but not so much though....At first I thought I was going to choke, but then it went down to my stomach, never to be seen again.....I have swallowed ice cubes, though not accidentally. I got dared...this was way before the quarter. Funny, nobody ever dared me again. It would have cost them money...

 

[KelJu]

At the local wild game cook off I tried a lot of strange but tasty animals.

Let me think... I ate:

• Rattlesnake
• Possum
• Armadillo
• Alligator
• Roasted Crickets

That's really dangerous, that shit can put you in a coma. The only reason I know, is because i looked into it's effects for the purpose of gettin' high.

Nutmeg

​

Nutmeg is obtained from the fruit (seeds) of Myristica fragrans, an evergreen tree native to the South Pacific islands, and is commonly used as a cooking spice. Nutmeg contains volatile terpenes and aromatic ethers and has been used to treat dyspepsia, musculoskeletal disorders and arthritis. Myristicin (A) and elemicin (B) are two of many pharmacologically-active chemical compounds found in nutmeg and have similar chemical structures to amphetamines and mescaline, respectively. Inebriant effects of nutmeg were reported as early as 1576. Nutmeg was an important trade item in the 15th and 16th centuries, and was used by slaves on the ships bringing nutmeg to Europe to precipitate a pleasant, euphoric feeling that relieved their weariness and pain. Nutmeg also became recognized for its ability to induce abortions. Although not a popular street drug today, nutmeg may be abused by those looking to alter consciousness with a readily available, legal substance. Intoxication requires 5-20 grams (1-4 teaspoons) of ground nutmeg, often administered as a tea. Onset of symptoms occurs within 3-6 hours and last for 12-24 hours, often followed by deep sleep. Toxic symptoms are dose-related and primarily anticholinergic, including dry mouth, GI upset, flushing, palpitations, agitation, blurred vision, miosis, hypotension, hypothermia, hallucinations, as well as coma and death. Detection of nutmeg-related compounds by laboratory testing is not readily available. Activated charcoal may be used to prevent absorption of recent ingestions, but clinical management is otherwise supportive.

[maniclion]

In Hong Kong I hooked up with this gorgeous filipina-chinese mix girl and every night she took me to some of the best eateries and I would be so drunk or faded on other stuff that I ate anything. At one place they brought out a tray of all these weird things, tentacles, eyeballs, and who knows what else and you cooked them your self, Huo guo is what it's called, kind of like yakiniku except you boil your stuff in a soup pot in the middle, but they also had a grill around the side for grilled meats.....I reallly have no clue what I ate, could've been rat, cat or dog, octopus, fish eyes, eggs, etc.....

I used to often eat this fungus that was found growing from cow shit...

Spicy Menudo
3 to 4 pound tripe (be sure to include 1 piece of honeycomb)
6 garlic cloves, bruised but not peeled
1 tablespoon peppercorns
2 sprigs thyme
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 28ounce can white hominy
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
12 tomatillos, diced
Rinse tripe under cold running water and cut large pieces into 1inch squares.
Place the garlic, peppercorns, thyme, and bay leaves into a square of cheesecloth. Tie into a bundle. This is your bouquet garni.
Place the tripe in a large stock pot with 4 quarts of hot water, the bouquet garni, and salt. Bring to a boil and skim foam if necessary. Reduce the heat and cook at a simmer for 2 to 3 hours or until tripe is tender.
Add the canned hominy, liquid and all and the jalapenos. Cook 15 minutes longer. About 10 minutes before serving, add the cilantro, green onions, and tomatillos. Remove the bouquet garni.
Garnishes may include mild red chile sauce, ground chile powder, oregano leaves, chopped onions, or lime wedges, or sliced radishes.

The only weird stuff I've had is cow tongue, frog legs (tasted like chicken, actually), and, uh...turkey balls. It was a challenge thing at this camp I went to, and I had to eat it. It tasted awful and my stomach just rebelled all night.

 

[Doublebase]

Cows Tongue.

 

[PreMier]

Pig brains.. also when I killed my first elk I cut a chunk of the meat off and ate it raw.

Oh! My uncle who takes the Cherokee side of our family very seriously made me eat the hearts of a deer and a bear he hunted in Oregon...

Sometimes I feel a pull to seek out my Cherokee roots, they have a thing called POW-WOW coming in July to Waikiki and I have this deep feeling that I must go....It's very strange?????


"There is no such thing as 'part-Cherokee.' Either you're Cherokee or you're not. It isn't the quantity of Cherokee blood in your veins that is important, but the quality of it... your pride in it. I have seen full-bloods who have virtually no idea of the great legacy entrusted to their care. Yet, I have seen people with as little as 1/500th blood quantum who inspire the spirits of their ancestors because they make being Cherokee a proud part of a their everyday life."
