Taste like chicken. A little fishy maybe. it was deep-fried chunks, on an Indian reservation in the Everglades. There may have been lemon wedges with it. Too much breading.
Brawn, Sülze, is very good in Germany n my experience.

My mum used to buy a pig's head regularly, to make brawn. I remember her once offering one of the ears to our dog. The ear looked as though it flapped as she offered it, and the dog was terrified, ran off to the end of our garden, and refused to come back.

^^ lol it's nice and crunchy. ps: VinnyD, how interesting that it tastes like fishy chicken. ----------------------- whilst Bach was writing his masterpieces there was nothing to eat here but potatoes and brawn...  in Germany it's called "with music" if contains onions and gherkins etc.  "Essen und trinken hält Leib und Seele zusammen" ("eating and drinking hold body and soul together") |

Well, Vinny, it certainly wasn't coconut. But they said 'coca', not cola.

There is such a thing as coca. But there's no nut. You steep the leaves and make a tisane. Pretty popular in the Andes. The leaves are the source of cocaine. I'm sure there is powder and crack cocaine available in North Africa but I'd be surprised to see coca leaves there.

Well, they weren't speaking English, so i suppose it was their name for something we call differently.

Sorry, go2, I thought you were attempting English when you called it "coca nut".

The best way I've eaten crocodile was smoked. BBQ'd I found it tasted like fishy chicken breast, not very exciting.
Probably the strangest thing to me at least although I know it isn't for Japanese people was Natto. It was very odd and stringy like and I just couldn't eat it. Flying fox in Vanuatu would probably be the strangest I was offered when husband was eating it and I just was not doing it!

Natto is very bizarre. I tried two kinds once, with shilgia. We agreed that the yellow kind smelled and tasted less like vomit than the black kind, but it was really hard to imagine why anyone would eat either.
But then someone from a non-cheese-eating culture might say the same thing about gorgonzola or limburger.

I could probably eat all sorts of crunchy things. But anything squishy and weird (however I deem that at the time of eating) wolfs put me off.
Today 'my' dog was eating pig ear. It was crunchy and I pretended to eat it. ok I did that to annoy him.
