My mom lives just outside of Shanghai... Some of the pics she's sent me of the "food" there are fairly disturbing. :uhoh

The saying goes that the 'Chinese will eat anything with 4 legs, except the table'. I could get behind that philosophy. If it tastes good and isn't toxic/poisonous, why not.
However, every single person I know who has been to China always comes back saying the food is disgusting there, not because the ingredients are exotic, but because they are low quality, not fresh, or otherwise distasteful. It's like a fat camp for some of my business traveler friends who've gone there for a month or two. They come home 10-15lbs lighter.

Every time my friend goes to where he's from, he brings me grasshoppers fried in garlic and Chili. tasty.

A coworker of mine went on a business trip to China. Coming back, he didn't feel well, and he got a lot more ill after a few days and went to the doctor for treatment of food poisoning. I asked him where he ate before his trip back and he told me that he ate meatballs at a Chinese 7-11. I was amazed and asked him if he was suicidal.

there's a restaurant in santa monica called typhoon. I had ants, scorpions and thai beetles. the ants and beetles were really good. the scorpions tasted like paper, but the shrimp bread they were on was tasty.
had rattle snake and rabbit sausage at another place. wild boar hamburgers are pretty good, love them at fudruckers. years ago I had some chicken feet marinated in some kind of bbq sauce at a Chinese restaurant, they were awesome.
I am not really a fan of buffalo or gators, I think they're overrated. still thinking of making a trip next year to the south for the armadillo. that and some good southern food. I miss that.

Me too, it's the eating of things with more than, or less than 4 legs that is wack.

I used to work at a chinese restaurant. The dinners for the staff were usually (for this white guy) an interesting adventure. I've had really. really wicked meals; sea bass, shark's fin soup, horse meat with chinese turnip, some stuff that I couldn't identify. but, man! It was tasty!
One thing that I could never stomach was called "bitter melon"
Picture in your mind a green pepper. Now picture it with warts. Now think about what that would taste like after being soaked for 5 days in battery acid.

Mantis prawns and spider crab?
I spent a 8 days in Beijing loved the food. Not sure what some of it was but I trusted my co- workers to order most of the time and they usually hit it out of the park....that is until one of them ordered for me a seafood dish that to this day I still taste when I burp ( either that or it's the taste of my stomach lining) it turned out it was sea slugs and stinky tofu. It was like eating raquet balls dipped in pre digested blue cheese . Wiped me out for a whole day.

I lived in Hong Kong for 7 months in 1996 prior to China taking control back from the British. I worked for Magnum Films, the owner Danny Lee (Hard Boiled and the Killer with Chow Yun-Fat who has been in numerous Hollywood films) was a friend of my family and business, and I did stunt shooting and co ordinating as well as helped try and get a shooting program for the Boy Scouts going prior to China taking control, as Danny Lee was one of the Scout leaders of Hong Kong at the time.
Anyhow, they had tried to expose me to real "Chinese" food in Vancouver at a few non gui-lo restaurants there, as I was used to the whole American/Canadian Chinese food of ginger beef, sweet and sour pork, and shrimp fried rice. Heh. Most of the people in Hong Kong or Shanghai on the mainland where I did some work wouldn't have recognized any of that food as "Chinese" food whatsoever. Well, the "real" Chinese food in Vancouver was bad enough - bean soup for dessert...wtf!? are you serious? - but once in HK and China, it was a whole new level of awful.
After that experience, I decided that dim-sum in North America is actually in insider joke with the Chinese, just to see what stupid crap like fried chicken feet and blood jello cubes that they can get us gui lo to in fact eat, as they laugh in the back watching on video cameras. I'm certain of it.

I wish. where I live the "weird" food is basically chicken hearts and gizzards, piggs feet or rabbit. if I want anything else I must travel 40 or 50 miles to LA.

Bugs and such are very good sources for protein.

My brother in law worked for 7-Eleven USA out of Dallas. He was part of the sales force attempting to bring the franchise to mainland China. His strangest observation about traveling to cities in the mainland. No birds, cats, dogs or any small animals for miles.

You guys talk about weird foods in other country but then you eat biscuits and gravy or macaroni and cheese. and I am not even gonna discuss grits.
that's fricking disgusting.
whenever I go to the cafeteria and somebody asks me to bring biscuits and gravy, I always tell them that it will come back with the "special sauce". mac and cheese, I cant stand the smell, so I wont even bring it for anybody.
and dont even get me started on having a steak that costs 9 bucks a lb and you drown it with A-1 sauce or any kind of bbq sauce. I can get spoiled meat drown it in A-1 sauce or bbq sauce and you wont even be able to tell the difference. you nasty people.

It's not just China all over Asia they eat exotic foods. I went to Vietnam and Cambodia on my honeymoon. The food in Vietnam was really nice but in Cambodia they were selling all sorts of bugs. Fried grasshoppers being very common. Our guide told us they were delicious and were like popcorn in that once you started eating them you couldn't stop. We took his word for it. In any case he lived in the jungle during the Khmer Rouge days and got used to eating anything he could lay his hands on!

I cant believe you did not try them...
