I've had shark but the weirdest thing I ever had was prawns soaked in vodka. Had it in a resteraunt in Spain, prawns were those massive ones and they were raw. I hate leaving food so I just swallowed them without chewing cos I couldn't stand the texture. They were fucking minging.

Alligator.

It tasted like chicken.

I tried that this summer for the first time. It wasn't awful.

Some of the weirdest meals I've had were definitely in Chinatown. Shark fin soup for example was not one of my favorites.

And whoever mentioned squid, yumm. It's very traditional food for Italians. I just had some delicious calamari last night.

Had a deer ball the other week, mate got a pair from a butcher's. They were tiny. Seasoned them with za'atar and sautéed them in butter. Didn't really taste of much to be honest.

What I love though is kaleh-pacheh, Isfahani/Iranian breakfast specialty. All the good stuff from the head and feet of a sheep, slow-cooked overnight, served in a kind of soup. Tongue, brain, even eyeballs, all really tasty (and very fatty).

Here's me eating some in Isfahan in 2012:

And then later that year an Iranian mate found a place in London that did it and a few of us went (the yellow/grey bit on the left is brain):

Tongue (the best part, in Iran they often have tongue sandwiches):

Who considers squid an odd food? Did I miss something?!

Yeah, even when I was a picky eater and not keen on seafood I didn't really think twice about eating calamari. Squid/octopus tentacles are a little weird, though, but not bad.

That looks mental but pretty nice. I'd have some chips with it though.
