| |  Weird Critters You have eaten?
What are some weird critters you have eaten/ different ways things are prepared?
Now that I'm living in a Yupik Eskimo village I've eaten some wired stuff. This weekend was a feed for a lady that had died. Items on the menu included walrus and seal.
The walrus was cooked in a "soup" though some one gave me a couple bites of just the walrus. Kinda like eating a chunk of fat with a really fishy taste, I ate 2 pieces.
The seal was cooked into a goloush/ chili, it wasn't too bad, just really fishy.
I have 1/2 a caribou in my freezer and I'd say it's the best wild game I've had yet, not really "weird" just not easy to get for most people. The caribou in my freezer was about a 2 hour boat ride away. Got out of the boat, looked around on the tundra, walked a mile, the natives shot it, we gutted it, carried it a mile back on the tundra to the boat. They are usually 1/2 hour by snow machine and then pull right up next to them with your snow machine to gut em in the winter.
Warm caribou liver right out of the caribou on the tundra, not too bad but I'm not a liver fan to start out with.
Fresh aka uncooked just out of the river grayling with salt on it, not too bad but if I'm not offered it again I won't be heart broken
Eskimo bacon, aka fried moose fat, not bad on some pilot bread for breakfast.
Herring eggs, I believe they were dried and then rehydrated, not too bad but I could live without them.

I used to whale, hunt and seal as a kid... the stuff tasted pretty good then. I think now, I'll just do my hunting/sealing and whaling at McDonalds. I really like beef! It's a great change from salmon, crab, bear, blubber, Caribou, Moose and the ohter delightsome creatures of the north. I still relish a good ol' hot dish; but ever now an then I get a hankrin' for blubber. It was pretty good stuff.

I guess barbequed groundhog is the most unusual dish I've eaten. And it was very good (probably due to the person doing the cooking).

No Artic fare for me yet 
Just a rash of critters from CONUS... tree rat (squirrel), Easter bunnies, Bambi's mother (& father), & Nanny goats...
Not sure any of that's better than "monkey on a stick", snakes, dogs, & other "mystery meats" consumed in the Asian corner of the world though  |

One of our immortal family stories is that when I was still in three-cornered pants I ate my big brother's locust shell collection. Of course I disavow all knowledge . . .

It's crazy, the people must think I need some winter weight, when ever I stop by some one's house I get fed. This "death feed" this weekend for our school's secretary's mom/ a couple of my hunting buddies mom/ grandma, I was over there most of the weekend and was told to eat probably 25 times. Today I stopped by a house to try and get in touch with some one about building a spirit house and there's a bowl of moose soup put in front of my face.

I learned something many moons ago during my time in the Army. When you're really hungry you will eat anything - and for the times between carry tobasco sauce. ANYTHING with tobasco sauce on it tastes like tobasco sauce. Grasshoppers, worms, C-Rations
