What's the strangest food you've had? I've had quite a few interesting meats, some odd insects... but yesterday I had deep fried ice cream :lol:

Went to a restaurant called Chaophraya in Manchester (which I can highly recommend btw, one of the best I've been to), and ordered this for desert. Oddly, the outside was piping hot but the ice-cream didn't melt at all.

I know it sounds strange, but it was very tasty indeed :nod: Perhaps not very healthy, so I doubt I'll be getting it again in hurry.

/random thought for the day ;)
 
Yummy - sounds like a Thai version of Baked Alaska :thumb:


Recently I've had Impala sausages which we get from a local farm shop - very tasty but not exactly strange really.

By the way - is the title supposed to be 'Deed' Fried Ice-Cream? :D
 
Well spotted :D Title fixed!

Yeah it was a bit like a baked alaska, but even more unhealthy - very tasy though. :)

I've never had Impala before, does it taste anything like Venison?
 
Never tasted venison sauages, but if I compared them to grilled venison I would say they are a bit stronger in flavour - but then sausages have alot of other seasoning added so it may not be a fair comparison.

I do enjoy them though - especially when I serve them to guests for breakfast...and watch their faces when I tell them afterwards :D
 
When 'Up North' in 2007 i was offered a deep fried Mars bar.
I declined & just went for cod & chips!

Strangest foods I've ever eaten have been snails and frogs legs I suppose, neither of which are all that unusual.

I won't be going back to any of them though, l'escargot are just slugs without a shell smothered in garlic sauce and I like frogs so I don't want to eat them :D The frogs legs were served up at a college I was working at and tasted just like chicken to me.

At the same college I tried locally-caught Carp once and it was disgusting :eek: You know that smell you get when you walk past a fishmonger's display? That's what it tasted like. I took one bight, chewed, nearly vomited and made a dash for the karzi where I spat it out. And then went back to the buffet and chose something else.

Impala? That's buffalo I believe? I've never tried that.

And I've eaten venison sausages - they be nice :)

Fresh fish does not smell :)

True. But who said the fish on a fishmonger's display was fresh?

I certainly didn't.

Fish starts decaying the moment it's pulled from the water.

Whatever, all the fishmonger's displays I've walked past, be it in a supermarket or high street, pen and inks to high heaven.

And that's what that horrible Carp tasted like.
 
point taken m8....eastern europeans eat carp...earthy taste apparently .....


urrrrrrrrrrgh pass me the Cod or haddock in crispy batter anyday ...with chips ...mushy peas ...tom sauce...crispy bread...yum yum :)

The "fishier" fish smells the older it is.

Fish straight out of the water has virtually NO fishy smell. :thumb: But we never get it like that.
 
Impala... aren't they those, cutel little bouncy deer type things that go springing around african plains in wildlife documentaries and travel adverts?

Anyway, yes, I have had deep fried ice cream *yummmmmmmm* the texture and contrast between the hot & cold was as yummy as the taste itself! A fish & chip shop up by the uni used to sell it years ago & you could get it with your chips, definitely totally unhealthy & absolutely delicious, but the shop's changed hands several times since then & I've never seen it anywhere else :(
Maybe I'll consider emigrating if you've got it over there :rolleyes:

Has anyone else tried a 'tim tam straw'?
that's where you nibble off both ends of a tim tam then suck your tea (or coffee) up through it. Very yummy & very messy & lots of fun lol.

I Googled and found some - they look tasty... but then, anything which incorporates chocolate has to be nice, right? :lol:

Yep, that's them :D
I don't even like chocolate *dodges flying bricks & tomatoes* but I love TimTam straws Yum :):):)
 
They look just like Penguin biscuits over here, so I'll have to try that :D
 
:D very cool, just don't do it while wearing your best shirt lol, I haven't had one get away on me yet, but I've had a couple of close calls. Just make sure that your cup is full when you do it!

Milk is much better through it...Tim Tams are not so easy to get in the UK unless you get them from one of the few Aussie/Kiwi/Safa shops that are left, but then you get charged through the roof for them....I want a Tim Tam straw now...
