Fun Fact: The reason they came to the conclusion that eating the sharks are safe once fermented was because some people saw birds eating the decaying corpses. And thus the people decided to take a gander and do the same
this is how a lot of food came to be part of our diet. "animals eat these but never eat those. lets avoid the ones they don't eat and eat what they eat too" Its the same with oysters. No human would of thought to crack open a slimy sea rock for sustenance until they saw birds doing it to what washed ashore
Fun fact: Popsicles were created by accident in 1905 by an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson. He left a mixture of powdered soda and water outside overnight with a stirring stick in it, and it froze in the chilly weather. The next morning, he discovered the frozen treat on the stick, which he called the "Epsicle". In 1923, Epperson patented his creation as a "frozen ice on a stick," which eventually became known as the "popsicle." :) Edit - I got 100 likes YEPPIIIIIII 🎉😃
The version I have heard is that he was drinking some juice with a straw and left it outside overnight on accident and the next morning it was frozen and he pulled it out.
A few years back, my Latin professor made some piscum (fermented fish sauce) and chips from an ancient Roman recipe for us to try. Tasted pretty good, too!
The strangest thing me and my family has eaten was this spicy salad with live shrimp in it that you had to shake violently, essentially giving it a fatal migraine and then eat it. Also, the shrimp was also half the size of my pinky finger nail(also i’m 12 for context of the size of my pinky finger) and the shrimp was LITERALLY just the shell and once we opened in, it stank worse than the fish sauce my family has plus my week old P.E clothes plus my socks at the end of the day.
one of my favorite things to do as a filipino is to show people about our local dishes, cause sometimes they sound and look gross but are actually really good, and i like seeing other's reactions because it's normal food to me. my go to dishes to tell people about are balut and dinuguan! if you're up to some exploring, give those two a google :3
Personally for me i don't eat balut, for dinuguan eating pork blood is a sin in our religion but i do love pork sisig, sinigang and many more that i want to try but I'm afraid
As a Swede, surströmming or fermented herring is actually really good if you eat it right. It tastes like salt, like REALLY REALLY salty. So you need butter, potatoes, messmör (idk if you have something like that), red onion and a piece of tunnbröd (again idk if you guys got something like that) to even out the salt. It is one of my favorite foods so I guess it works.
So I live on a coast and we have something called candle fish, there smaller versions of herrings and there real plane but if you let them dry out for a while they have quite a few uses of being able to burn, eat, and even supplement your meals
As someone who is chronically ill and can’t eat anything that was even in the proximity of the foods on my “nope” list I am both so confused and impressed at the sheer gall and spite of people willing to try these questionable things LOL
A lot of mothers actually make placenta soup after birth cause it gives them nutrients for the baby. When researching I found some people make placenta ramen noodles and add cheese to it. Look I get the health benefits and that animals eat it so it's natural. (when my dog gave birth she ate the placenta off her puppies) but you have to admit, it's very weird.
Fermenting meats is actually quite an ancient practice! Pre historic humans somehow figured out that the saltier meat is, the safer it is to eat. At first they'd salt it and dry it to preserve it for long periods of time, which came with the discovery that hey, this dry corpse here won't poison me! Tastes and smells decent too!
That's why fermentation is sometimes called "controlled rot". A lot of fermented foods are pretty good for your digestive health too. But I'm sure it's more the priority of not letting anything go to waste that drives situations like that.
@@rantuoftheshadows Yeah I always keep things like that and yogurt, in my fridge so whenever I have a bad stomach day, it just brings things back in alignment. Lot of good variety out there. I remember being surprised to find out chocolate is also fermented.
Hákarl is definitely one of those "we're living on an island in the middle of nowhere and the options are limited"-foods. It's also not that bad (tbf I am Finnish, so maybe there's some Nordic "icy hellscape survival"-gene needed to eat weird shit like that), the smell's not great but the taste is ok, like how some cheeses are. It's also nowadays eaten in small cocktail-stick quantities and washed down with an Icelandic akvavit. I have to admit the booze does help 😂
I think the only thing I ever did on my own with food was putting french fries on a chicken sandwich. You do need to have sauce because otherwise it's really dry, but it's much better than I had expected.
Here's a tip : Get some spicy or normal ramen noodles(Doesn't need to be the exact brand just pick some basic pack noodles, I usually go for the oriental brands like buldak.) boil some eggs for about 3 minutes and after you have the eggs prepared boil them(Obviously without the shell.) with the ramen noodles and your choice of spices, The eggs absorb the spices and it always ends up being good, hopefully this will have you explore a bit more.
For my pick, though I haven’t eaten it yet,but would love to try, is bacon wrapped mashed potatoes, that was created in that food wars anime, though it did inspire me to want to create something similar, by cutting open a fillet mignon and stuff it with mashed potatoes, before wrapping it in bacon, and a puff pastry, pretty much creating the final form of beef wellingtons. It sounds weird but it would be a kickass meal
As a kid, I tried combining my two favorite foods, Goldfish crackers and Turkey Baloney, just to see what it tasted like. And I still find myself eating it to this day. Surprisingly tasty for how bizarre it sounds 😋
I relate to this so much! When I was a little kid I went to McDonald’s and had some bbq sauce left over and a bag of apples, I dipped the apples in the sauce and it was pretty good I eat it even today
I am glad I am not the only one who thought of this kind of stuff in the past lol. Weirdest thing I ever ate was a raw snail because at one of my local amusement parks for Halloween had one of those 'dare' events to eat a raw snail or grasshopper. You had to spin a wheel to see what happened. I was lucky to get the snail. It had no flavor and I just slurped it down as quickly as I could lol. Got a t-shirt for my efforts lol.
You should never eat raw snails my man, those things can have a brain eating parasite such as, rat lungworm it is an overall horrible idea to do that, there was even a full-on case where someone was dared to do exactly what you did and ended up getting rat lungworm.

my definition of a sandwich as a kid was "a meat and veggie between two slices of bread" - so I would make pepperoni and microwaved onion sandwiches (I was not old enough to sauté onions on the stovetop by myself so I improvised)
I remember having conversations about this all the time with my brother. We talked about multiple things that were mentioned in this video, coincidentally.
You are the first person I've encountered to voice similar thoughts of: "But how did they figure out how to eat this?" XD Loved this video and always a pleasure to see your content.
I have to say... I LOVE FOOD! The people who pioneered so many of the delicious things that we love to eat deserve a lot more praise for their contributions to the culinary arts! Honestly, I think that the weirdest thing that I ever ate was salmon. It doesn't sound that weird, but the weird part is that the meat tasted good, but it also had this kind of metallic aftertaste.
I always wondered what the first person to eat clams or oysters was thinking, like “Oh look! A rock that I found in a puddle of seawater. I’m gonna bust it open and eat the inside!”
glad the first person to discover oysters,decided to risk their whole life to food poisoning and deadly toxins,just to see if it was edible or not (very edible and great indeed 👍)
2 ways come to mind 1. Dire circumstances left people to risk it or definitely perish. (This comes to mind when we tried drinking cows milk) 2. Science for chemical compounds and pathogens. And how to overcome them
Fun thing I’ve eaten is a inch long grub from the Amazons. It was prepared over a fire and came with a sort of salsa. Pretty good but the head was stuck on my tooth for a while😅
A few unusual combinations that I've found really tasty. • Peanut butter and Granny Smith Apple sandwich. Red delicious can work, but I find the bitter kick of Granny Smith apples to add something special. (I also recommend adding roughly diced Granny Smith apples to fruit salad, really expands the flavour profile.) • Sliced Devon (a type of processed meat we have in Australia) and mashed potatoes. Used to be my go to comfort food, before I had to be conscious about how fatty Devon is. • Roast lamb, ham, and sharp chedder omelette. Made in a microwave (via special egg cup, though I think you can do it with a standard mug as well).
Jellyfish. Was kinda cold, had a certain snap to it when you bit into it, and reminded me of a vegetable texture wise. I can’t remember if it even tasted like anything or just had a very subtle taste to it, but it must’ve not been bad since I ate what was left on the plate.
I watch cooking and baking shows when I want to relax and watch a bit of TV. Chopped is a cooking show I like to watch. There are 4 chefs and each have a basket of 4 ingredients. That they have to use in their dish. If they don’t use it they will be chopped (they will be sent home). And sometimes you may see ingredients that you never seen, heard of, or tasted. And I have seen some….”interesting” ingredients that the chefs had to use 😬. Some of those ingredients can be a combination of something together!
In Sardinia they make a sheep/goat cheese called casu martzu (rotten cheese) by letting flies lay eggs in it, and then larvae chewing it. I never tasted it but they say it’s pretty good
as an Australian, i can say one of the 'weirdest', but also normal things I have eaten is fairy bread. hundreds and thousands (sprinkles) and butter on white bread(it has to be white bread). It tastes pretty good. I sometimes do half and half with nutella on one side and fairy bread on the other.
The weirdest thing I ate (technically drank but who cares) was moringa leaf powder mixed with water. I don't know what I was thinking, but it smells, looks, and tastes like swamp water. On the bright side, it's super healthy for sickness.
I think the weirdest thing I've ate was a piece of grape flavored cheese, I'll leave it at that. I saw the samples of it at the cheese shop my family would stop by at whenever we were at the mall it was in and it looked pretty and interesting so I tried a sample annnnnnd yeah. It was like they were trying to flavor a very flavorless, rubbery cheese and thought letting it soak in some candy flavoring for a few hours was a good idea. Surprise surprise, it was not. Whoever came up with that cheese needs to be fired and never work with cheese again.
Not sure how this came about but the weirdest concoction we had as an after school snack is cottage cheese mixed with applesauce. It has a striking resemblance to barf but it tastes SOOO much better than it looks. People eat cheese and apples together all the time so it makes SENSE. But a 1/10 for appearance.
The Weirdest thing I've currently eaten was probably Buffalo Meat Jerky, but something I'm trying at some point is Piraiba Sometimes called the Lau Lau which is a species of very large predatory catfish resembling a shark or snakehead which is a extremely aggressive predatory fish, my whole goal is just to try some most dangerous animals possible (I know them from river monsters)
Apparently it's an English or British tradition to eat Christmas cake with cheese. It's the 'opposite' flavors of savory cheese with sweet cake that makes it good.
I once took a bite of a raw deer heart. I've also eaten cooked chicken oviduct. I can't remember the Pennsylvania Dutch name for it but it's delicious.
When I was about 5-6 years old I tried grits. My mom and dad put a bowl of grits in front of me and I dived in for the torture I was blindly led into. Horror struck me as I felt the texture in my mouth and the horrible taste. I spat it all out and 1 year later I have not fully forgotten about it but so much so as I was willing to try it again. Same situation, bowl was in front of me and I ate some. I began to gag multiple times before throwing up. Since then I have not touched a bit of grits. Stay away from it 😢
Weirdest thing I drank instead of ate is definitely gotta be butterfly pea flower water. Yes the name is long, the special thing about it is that it changes Color’s depending on what you mix it with, it can turn green if you put ginger or purple if you put honey. Drinking it by it self isn’t very enjoyable tho
Hey soon to be pastry chef here! been eating a lot of wierd fruits this year! worth for finals soon (a couple days) and graduation soon too! glad to see this vid arround this time of the year cheered me up, made me think of all the eggs that my classmates cooked wrong and could potetially gave us Salmonella to all of us :D
I put a little bit of cinnamon in my spaghetti sauce, taste amazing. My parents didn't believe it, until they tasted it. Of course you use the littlest spoon for the portion otherwise the entire sauce is done for, but dozed right (which means very very little) it can be great. ^^
I think Filipino spaghetti uses that, or at least one of our Filipino neighbors that gave us some once did, Ngl the spaghetti was pretty good. I wonder if it was a family or cultural recipe?
One way to tell if something is poisonous you can make a cut on it and rub it on your skin if your skin starts to burn or something then it is but if it don't it is not. 1:31... Also more than one person dose this so people know it is not a allergic reaction. But what you explained is also true it happened a lot.
i once ate a scorpion in a lollipop, it was just sorta crunchy and didn't taste like anything. i also have a couple local mexican restaurants that do an amazing tripe taco and buche taco, which is cow and pork intestine respectively. and also cow tounge is good, if you can get past the french kiss texture
I ordered the wrong thing I ment to get a cheeseburger and with catchup and mustard instead I ordered a grilled cheese with catchup and mustard. It was not that bad. And I found out by accident I dropped my normal grilled cheese in ranch it's so good!
Right, but can I just say how amazing things like cakes and bread are to me. Something that is made universally around the world. 'Well I am going to grind this into a fine powder, mix it with eggs, sugar and some other stuff, make it hot for an extended period of time, boom! = cake.' You'd think after a bit you'd just sort of go 'Eh this won't work' , someone did and it's an amazing invention. Honestly it's something I've thought of a lot. Have you ever seen the process for making chocolate? If not, watch a video because I was boggled. If I found a cocoa bean thing in the wild, and opened it in hopes of finding food, I would throw it back into the bushes because it's horrible to even look at. But no, some thought 'I am going to do so much to this until it's the most loved food in the world,it just has to work eventually' ...yeah, boggles me.
The weirdest thing I’ve ever eaten, was the small intestines of a baby cow also, there’s a unique way to clean the small intestines because if you don’t clean it, there can be feces and undigested food in the intestines !!!
Nightshade is a family of plants that includes tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and peppers. Tobacco is also in the nightshade family. Nightshades are unique because they contain small amounts of alkaloids. Alkaloids are chemicals that are mainly found in plants.
I'm still adjusting to the fact that fish eggs go on most sushi. One of my favorite toppings but still... Also in the northern most areas salted mackerel dipped in seal fat is apparently delicious. I would like to try some of that.
Sounds like it would be good pan roasted a bit with some fish sauce(Maybe worcestershire) paprika(Only a little bit) black pepper and a very small amount of molasses mixed with the sauces to prevent it from burning whilst some scallions, Szechuan flower leaves and chives, onion and a bit of garlic and sweet peppers sauté in the same pan, After that just some plain O'l rice on a plate and just pour some of the fat and sauces that was still in the pan onto the rice, And done a good meal.(Maybe a lil chunk of bread too.)
The first time i tried mead, real actually good mead not cheap crap, it was too strong for me because i was very new to drinking. But i was with friends, we were all playing dnd and enjoying some icecream after our lovely medieval themed dinner. I couldnt finish my cup of mead but i didnt want to be rude and pour it out because it was expensive. So i had the idea to pour some into my bowl of vanilla bean ice cream and it was amazing! The mead somehow intensified the vanilla flavor while simultaneously adding a slight kick or pop, something to that likeness that made it 100% better. I highly recommend you try a mead float! ..if youre over 21
The weirdest thing I've eaten would have to be honey bee drone pupa. I'd read that it was a delicacy in Vietnam, and so thought I would give it a go. Honestly not bad, although I wasn't expecting it to be sour.
My mom would lightly salt apples when we ate them, (cut up.) I personally thought it added a lot of flavor. So when nobody was looking, I added salt to my apple slice. Some would say too much… Long story short… *It was indeed, way, WAY too much salt.*
Weirdest thing that I've ever eaten has to be bumble bees ....sounded like a good idea when I was a kid Surprisingly wasn't horrible, didnt taste like much! Your welcome for this very needed information!
Guy 1: Hey I took some of the meat you had hanging in the cellar Guy 2: wtf that's shark meat, that stuff can kill you Guy 1: tasted fine to me, though might be rotten, how long was it in there Guy 2: idk I've been needing to take care of it for a while, like 6 months or something
my friend's parents bought all kinds of odd and exotic meats, and one time that friend brought me some alligator nuggets to school so i could try it. honestly, it wasnt even half bad it was just sort of like if chicken had the texture of calamari lmao
When I was a kid I went on a ocean camp trip and was brave enough to eat hagfish slime, it’s clear and salty, and yeah it’s exactly like what you’re thinking 🤣
It is not a strange food, but we Arabs pick grape leaves, then stuff them with meat and rice, then put them in a pressure cooker, and then you have the most delicious dish we call dawali.
When you mentioned rotten shark, it reminded me of the time Gordon Ramsay tried some with James May, Ramsay spat it out and May was disappointed in him

as an Australian, i can say one of the 'weirdest', but also normal things I have eaten is fairy bread. hundreds and thousands (sprinkles) and butter on white bread(it has to be white bread). It tastes pretty good. I sometimes do half and half with nutella on one side and fairy bread on the other.
The weirdest thing I ate (technically drank but who cares) was moringa leaf powder mixed with water. I don't know what I was thinking, but it smells, looks, and tastes like swamp water. On the bright side, it's super healthy for sickness.
1:43 you have no idea how much I love this reference #AvatarTheLastAirbender
I saw the reference immediate fellow atla supporter
Your shorts strategy is brilliant.
I think the weirdest thing I've ate was a piece of grape flavored cheese, I'll leave it at that.
I saw the samples of it at the cheese shop my family would stop by at whenever we were at the mall it was in and it looked pretty and interesting so I tried a sample annnnnnd yeah.
It was like they were trying to flavor a very flavorless, rubbery cheese and thought letting it soak in some candy flavoring for a few hours was a good idea.
Surprise surprise, it was not. Whoever came up with that cheese needs to be fired and never work with cheese again.
Scratch that, it's now the Sour Patch Kids Oreos.
Those were weird and nasty! XP
I like how people are saying amazing video in the first minute it got uploaded
Hi fellow penguin
Penguins are the best animal ngl ngl
Amazing comment
They saw the future. ;)

1:51 bro casually drops the truest statement ever uttered by man
Not sure how this came about but the weirdest concoction we had as an after school snack is cottage cheese mixed with applesauce.
It has a striking resemblance to barf but it tastes SOOO much better than it looks. People eat cheese and apples together all the time so it makes SENSE. But a 1/10 for appearance.
The Weirdest thing I've currently eaten was probably Buffalo Meat Jerky, but something I'm trying at some point is Piraiba Sometimes called the Lau Lau which is a species of very large predatory catfish resembling a shark or snakehead which is a extremely aggressive predatory fish, my whole goal is just to try some most dangerous animals possible (I know them from river monsters)
the elf chieftess from fantasy bishu would probably like you

Well as a Swede I guess it would be the classic formented fish "Surströmming"
A childhood favorite was combining Cheese Its with something sweet, like honey or maple syrup. Sweet and salty. Actually tasty.
Apparently it's an English or British tradition to eat Christmas cake with cheese. It's the 'opposite' flavors of savory cheese with sweet cake that makes it good.
Weirdest thing I ever ate was probably a deep fried tarantula. It was actually really good.
Some cultures do eat bugs but not deep fried
I once took a bite of a raw deer heart.
I've also eaten cooked chicken oviduct. I can't remember the Pennsylvania Dutch name for it but it's delicious.
When I was about 5-6 years old I tried grits. My mom and dad put a bowl of grits in front of me and I dived in for the torture I was blindly led into. Horror struck me as I felt the texture in my mouth and the horrible taste. I spat it all out and 1 year later I have not fully forgotten about it but so much so as I was willing to try it again. Same situation, bowl was in front of me and I ate some. I began to gag multiple times before throwing up. Since then I have not touched a bit of grits. Stay away from it 😢
Weirdest thing I drank instead of ate is definitely gotta be butterfly pea flower water. Yes the name is long, the special thing about it is that it changes Color’s depending on what you mix it with, it can turn green if you put ginger or purple if you put honey. Drinking it by it self isn’t very enjoyable tho
Hey soon to be pastry chef here!
been eating a lot of wierd fruits this year!
worth for finals soon (a couple days) and graduation soon too!
glad to see this vid arround this time of the year cheered me up, made me think of all the eggs that my classmates cooked wrong and could potetially gave us Salmonella to all of us :D
Cool
Goodluck hope you pass
congrats on graduation!
I put a little bit of cinnamon in my spaghetti sauce, taste amazing. My parents didn't believe it, until they tasted it. Of course you use the littlest spoon for the portion otherwise the entire sauce is done for, but dozed right (which means very very little) it can be great. ^^
I think Filipino spaghetti uses that, or at least one of our Filipino neighbors that gave us some once did, Ngl the spaghetti was pretty good.
I wonder if it was a family or cultural recipe?
Sour cream and onion, crickets are actually pretty good🤌👌😅
One way to tell if something is poisonous you can make a cut on it and rub it on your skin if your skin starts to burn or something then it is but if it don't it is not. 1:31... Also more than one person dose this so people know it is not a allergic reaction. But what you explained is also true it happened a lot.
i once ate a scorpion in a lollipop, it was just sorta crunchy and didn't taste like anything. i also have a couple local mexican restaurants that do an amazing tripe taco and buche taco, which is cow and pork intestine respectively. and also cow tounge is good, if you can get past the french kiss texture
I ordered the wrong thing I ment to get a cheeseburger and with catchup and mustard instead I ordered a grilled cheese with catchup and mustard. It was not that bad. And I found out by accident I dropped my normal grilled cheese in ranch it's so good!
Right, but can I just say how amazing things like cakes and bread are to me. Something that is made universally around the world. 'Well I am going to grind this into a fine powder, mix it with eggs, sugar and some other stuff, make it hot for an extended period of time, boom! = cake.' You'd think after a bit you'd just sort of go 'Eh this won't work' , someone did and it's an amazing invention.
Honestly it's something I've thought of a lot.
Have you ever seen the process for making chocolate? If not, watch a video because I was boggled. If I found a cocoa bean thing in the wild, and opened it in hopes of finding food, I would throw it back into the bushes because it's horrible to even look at. But no, some thought 'I am going to do so much to this until it's the most loved food in the world,it just has to work eventually' ...yeah, boggles me.
The weirdest thing I’ve ever eaten, was the small intestines of a baby cow also, there’s a unique way to clean the small intestines because if you don’t clean it, there can be feces and undigested food in the intestines !!!
Shrimp pasta really good idea 👍
Durian + sticky rice + coconut milk + dash of sugar = heaven food
Hell to the yeah.
I’ve never had durian before
Weirdest thing I’ve eaten was a chocolate covered cricket, and it surprisingly wasn’t that bad
I have bought once a chocolate bar with salty cracker... I can still buy it, and it taste good actually.
I ate a mealworm
Wtf
the most experimental i ever was with food was spaghetti bolognese with
vinegar, its amazing try it.
Nightshade is a family of plants that includes tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and peppers. Tobacco is also in the nightshade family. Nightshades are unique because they contain small amounts of alkaloids. Alkaloids are chemicals that are mainly found in plants.

I'm still adjusting to the fact that fish eggs go on most sushi. One of my favorite toppings but still... Also in the northern most areas salted mackerel dipped in seal fat is apparently delicious. I would like to try some of that.
sounds delicious
Sounds like it would be good pan roasted a bit with some fish sauce(Maybe worcestershire) paprika(Only a little bit) black pepper and a very small amount of molasses mixed with the sauces to prevent it from burning whilst some scallions, Szechuan flower leaves and chives, onion and a bit of garlic and sweet peppers sauté in the same pan, After that just some plain O'l rice on a plate and just pour some of the fat and sauces that was still in the pan onto the rice, And done a good meal.(Maybe a lil chunk of bread too.)
The weirdest thing I’ve eaten was when I was 4 years old and I tried little squids. I remember them being good. I’ve loved fish since then 😂
I never thought of this,now I have been thinking about it for 5 minutes
Thank you to the brave souls who ate weird food and passed😌💖
i mean, i get it. mushrooms aren't my favorite food, but my family likes it so i'm ok with it.
The first time i tried mead, real actually good mead not cheap crap, it was too strong for me because i was very new to drinking. But i was with friends, we were all playing dnd and enjoying some icecream after our lovely medieval themed dinner. I couldnt finish my cup of mead but i didnt want to be rude and pour it out because it was expensive. So i had the idea to pour some into my bowl of vanilla bean ice cream and it was amazing! The mead somehow intensified the vanilla flavor while simultaneously adding a slight kick or pop, something to that likeness that made it 100% better. I highly recommend you try a mead float! ..if youre over 21
1:09 nah dont worry this is also me in my family
The weirdest thing I've eaten would have to be honey bee drone pupa.
I'd read that it was a delicacy in Vietnam, and so thought I would give it a go.
Honestly not bad, although I wasn't expecting it to be sour.
My mom would lightly salt apples when we ate them, (cut up.) I personally thought it added a lot of flavor. So when nobody was looking, I added salt to my apple slice. Some would say too much…
Long story short…
*It was indeed, way, WAY too much salt.*
Paper.
Index cards have better texture, but printer feels better in your mouth.
1:41 OMG GUYS ITS UNCLE IROH AND-
Weirdest thing that I've ever eaten has to be bumble bees ....sounded like a good idea when I was a kid
Surprisingly wasn't horrible, didnt taste like much! Your welcome for this very needed information!
A weird food I ate was popcorn with honey which was surprisingly good lol
Tide pods are top teir 💪

Some idiot: There is no food better then Spaghetti
Ramen: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
The avatar reference ... directly hit my heart
One time I used sour cream as an alternative for ice cream. Added nerds and chocolate syrup to it and honestly I’d do it again.
3:05 Or just put it back in the water
Nahhhh
0:17 yes
Guy 1: Hey I took some of the meat you had hanging in the cellar
Guy 2: wtf that's shark meat, that stuff can kill you
Guy 1: tasted fine to me, though might be rotten, how long was it in there
Guy 2: idk I've been needing to take care of it for a while, like 6 months or something
The weirdest food I've ever had was charcoal ice cream 🍦
Hey sorry for asking that but do the numbers and letters on the exegguter at 0:51 have a special meaning or am i thinking to much abt it?
Spicy ramen + frozen strawberrys is just.. so so good, im eating spicy ramen rn but i sadly dont have the strawberrus
my friend's parents bought all kinds of odd and exotic meats, and one time that friend brought me some alligator nuggets to school so i could try it. honestly, it wasnt even half bad it was just sort of like if chicken had the texture of calamari lmao
Weird food: One time I ate my own earwax and then reconsidered my life choices
When I was watching, mine 6 year old sister asked:
"Are you watching the marshmallow guy "
"Yes,yes I am"
Ironically, Lobster was once considered trash food, and was even given to prisoners. Lmao
Here’s a weird combination:
Carrots+ catchup
It honestly taste delicious(I don’t know if I’m going insane or not).
2:48 im icelandic so i went
"ooooooooooffff"... like physichly
poisonberries, poop, plasic, paper, 3d filament.
They really need to find a way to make anything edible
Fun Fact: Hakarl means Shark in icelandic
There was this Chinese dude who tried every single plant to determine whether it was good for humans to eat but then he died of a poisonous plant
Hot sauce and cucumbers
When I was a kid I went on a ocean camp trip and was brave enough to eat hagfish slime, it’s clear and salty, and yeah it’s exactly like what you’re thinking 🤣
When I was a kid I used to eat these little purple wildflowers that grow in front of my house they're kind of sweet and tasted a bit like snow peas
It is not a strange food, but we Arabs pick grape leaves, then stuff them with meat and rice, then put them in a pressure cooker, and then you have the most delicious dish we call dawali.
Awesome. Is that specifically the meat version? Here we have those with just the rice and they're called dolmas
I think one of the weirdest foods I've had is mac n cheese with yellow mustard,it was pretty good tbh
When you mentioned rotten shark, it reminded me of the time Gordon Ramsay tried some with James May, Ramsay spat it out and May was disappointed in him
The weirdest food I’ve ever eaten would have to be Chicken feet. I know it sounds weird but its actually really good.
I have eaten flowers when i was 4-6
Pani ca' Meusa Quite good! It’s basically thin slices of boiled spleen between bread!
