No he tried a delicacy, and asked the rest of the table if they thought his meal smelt of shit...... They all agreed yes it did. Turns out this delicacy was unwashed intestine sausage or 'shit sausage' as we English call it.

I particularly liked, "Has a strong, distinctive odor related to its intestinal origins and components. Although sometimes repellant to the uninitiated, this aspect of andouillette is prized by its devotees."

Durian. A fruit described by a French tourist in the Lonely Planet Guide as 'looks like shit, smells like shit and tastes like shit'. Its banned on the Singapore metro it smells so bad. I've had Durian ice cream and chewy sweets but could never bring myself to eat the raw fruit. Can be smelt from a hundred yards away.

I've eaten Guinea Pig in Peru. It tastes just like chicken. Also eaten Frogs legs in Vietnam and found them tasteless.
One thing, or rather food group that I wouldn't go anywhere near whilst I was travelling in Thailand was insects. The street markets in Bangkok sell them as if they were sweets. Couldn't go anywhere near them. Whenever I was offered them I'd shake my head politely whilst saying Kop Kun Kup.
Kangaroo meat is lovely mate.Hardly no fat and rich ,quite gamey taste. Aussies dont seem to go for it but its a regular on my BBQ especially when I've got visitors over from the Motherland.
I bet the mother in law can tell some tales about odd delicacies like my missus. She went to a 'team building' thing in chuong hua and ate something described as 'home deer'. Turned out to be Rolands long distance relative !!
Hows it oop north John ?

Spot on, Pommy! One of my most memorable meals was beautifully cooked 'roo at a restaurant in Coonawarra.
On a tour of citrus markets in SE Asia I had durian (not as bad as expected: I thought ammoniacal rather than sh*tty), jellyfish (bloody awful!) and roast pigeon, served with the head still on. But don't let that put you off. That tour gave me a taste for Chinese cuisine that the local take-away can't match.
In Israel, lamb is most prized and turkey is treated with contempt.
Anthony Hansen wrote a book on Burgundy (wine) which controversially contended that "good Burgundy smells of sh*t" and recommended 'a bottle of Nuits for your nuit'!

The girls in our office used to love the stuff, but that's probably why their breath smelt like they had been gargling diarrhea.

The mother in law, like some of the food mentioned, is an acquired taste that I have not yet learnt to appreciate.
All good in Waay Yaay country, it's really buggering up the boys dialect. 'Er indoors did a great job in finding Newton Aycliffe - a town bereft of ANY decent boozers. Might as well become a monk.

Put some in the fridge once - don't think we ever got rid of the smell!
On strange foods, a Southern African delicacy is of course the Mopane worm - a caterpillar really, so I guess that's all right then. Disgusting I reckoned, in looks and taste!
