Worst thing I’ve ever “eaten” was the head of a dead frozen baitfish while fishing in Alaska. I say “eaten” because I didn’t swallow it but it was pretty nasty. It was a dare lol

Ask the Brits about whitebait. Basically a tiny fish cooked whole and eaten that way. I have had them. Tasty....
Consider that there is athletes foot, but have you ever heard of athletes paw?

I absolutely love whitebait. Covered in flour and shallow fried whole for a couple of minutes. Add salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice and you have a great simple dish, hmmm. Funnily enough I haven't seen them for years now, I don't know why that is. I started getting "sprats" instead, similar to whitebait but a lot bigger, and even sprats aren't always available now.
But yeah, you've taken me right back in time. Funnily enough it was around the time I kept piranhas, and they loved them too, though I hasten to add, raw, and not cooked!
Every year in Minnesota they have a big run of tiny smelt just like that. You catch them and batter and fry them, and they’re not much bigger than a sardine.
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten authentic scrapple, but in Cincinnati they serve something called guetta, which is basically the same thing. Chopped scraps and organ meats mixed with barley or some type of grain.
I don’t remember that fondly at all.
my favorite culinary memories as a child back there was eating in the Covington chili parlor.
I would order a Covington five way which was a plate of spaghetti covered in Cincinnati style chili sauce with beans and meat, chopped raw onions and cheese. This is traditionally served with Crystal hot sauce.
If you use Tabasco sauce with this you’re just putting on airs.

Now now this is a safe space…some of us are more posh and like more refined foods that are more widely acceptable while others of us like to indulge in the more advertising foods (some would even argue we have a more developed pallet ?)
Smelt was what came to mind when I saw that photo of whitebait....funny thing about it I used to buy plenty of smelt for my fish years ago and as much as I love to eat fish I never thought to try it but that whitetail has me thinking of giving it a go.
I tried smelt its ok. I bought a bag for my fish and ended up trying them. Where I live now we catch 10-12” smelt ice fishing but 15 inchers are not uncommon.
Ugh why are his hands at such a weird angle? They got it modern enough to have feathers so why can't they make the hands face the right way? Lol makes it look like it's trying to learn the piano. Lol also it's not even a raptor, it's got a small head crest so it's probably a guan long or proceratasaurus, both of which aren't raptors.
Ugh I feel I'm being way to critical on a joke post lol.
Some of the weirdest things I’ve eaten include rabbit, kangaroo jerky, Cow pizzle, I also got to try foie gras, which wasn’t that great. One of my least favorite foods is chicken livers. Mayonnaise is quite high on my list. Mustard and relish are also disgusting.
A few weeks ago I accidentally ate maggots. My friend gave me a packet of raisins, which I didn’t know expired BEFORE COVID. I probably complained four or five times about the taste of these raisins, but they were ‘sour’ raisins, so I thought it was normal. Then I took a closer inspection and there were maggots. Large ones too! Almost made me throw up. My teacher sent me to reception and I got sent home in case my stomach didn’t agree or anything.

maggots are good that’s just pure protein ?. Isn’t foie gras illegal in the US? I eat rabbit on a regular basis cause my dad and papaw hunt a lot and make rabbit chili and it’s really good. As for cow pizzle and kangaroo, I don’t think I wanna know what pizzle is and I heard kangaroo isn’t good, I know it’s considered a delicacy in Australia but I heard since they’re so active and strong their meat is really tough and that it has a super gamey taste. I’ve had alligator bites and alligator jerky and it’s amazing one of my favorite food actually but the weirdest thing I’ve ever ate was maybe squirrel brain.
