Short version: Name strange (ethnic) foods that you eat that you would recommend to others.
Every ethnicity often has unusual flavors and foods that don't quite make it to the common table of consumption. I'm not interested in random junk for a stunt and tastes terrible. I'm interested in what you eat that is considered bizarre, especially if it considered part of your cultural heritage. Something that people would shy away from eating but you would recommend as very delicious and worth trying. Please describe it, tastes, recipes, and even pictures.
I eat out a lot and I'd consider myself a bit of a foodie. I've been ordering Frog legs a lot lately from every different preparation. I had a french preparation which was sauteed in a butter garlic white wine sauce. Very tender, very good. Chinese and indonesian preparations were boiled in a broth, and steamed with ginger and scallion. I also had them fried which was awesome. Like super tender and sweet chicken wings. Frog legs to me have a similar taste to chicken wings but a sweeter taste and softer texture. It's like a mix of chicken and mild white meat fish.
I also had a very expensive Chinese Hairy crab the other day. Not that crab was weird, but what parts were eaten was a bit strange to me. Specifically this poached egg white looking substance that came out of it when it was steamed. It was like this gelatinous egg white type foam. It had a strong mineraly taste, bit fishy and briny. Pretty good actually but a bit too intense for me. I also had the roe, which there was a ton of. Very intense rich flavor. I couldn't eat it all it was so rich. It doesn't really taste like crab. Hard to describe it.
This is not a gross out contest although that person showing the Balut was interesting. I'm curious about strange ethnic foods that you would recommend to others. Something we may be inspired to pick up and try.
