Tasty or …
We asked five people what the strangest thing they've ever eaten was. Here are the five replies.
`When I was in South Africa I ate springbok. It's a kind of antelope, I think. The meat was a bit tough and very salty, but then that might have been just the way it was cooked. I don't think I'd eat it again, but it certainly wasn't unpleasant.'
Tom
`Yuck! I wish you hadn't asked me that question. It brings back horrible memories. I must have been about 14 and I was on a school trip to France. Our teachers took us to a typical French restaurant and made us try different food. Of course we all had to eat frogs' legs. I thought they were disgusting!'
Mandy
`I come from China and we're well known for eating almost anything, but I have to say that the strangest thing I've ever tried was here in the UK. I went to Scotland for a short holiday and had Haggis, it was OK and I'd happily have it again if it was served to me, but it's not something I'd want to eat regularly.'
Chen
`Ants, definitely. We were in the Amazon on an adventure holiday. One day we were walking through the rainforest when our guide stopped, peeled back the bark from a tree and started picking up ants and putting them in his mouth. Of course, we all had to try them. At first I was a bit unsure, but they were delicious. They tasted a bit like lemon!'
Juan
`Probably Miso soup. It's a Japanese dish and they eat it for breakfast. I think it's made from beans and it's quite strong tasting. It's not so much that it's strange, but it's definitely not something I'd normally have for breakfast.'
