Extreme Eating Adventures
What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten abroad? For me, it was haggis in Edinburgh, Scotland and blood pudding in Oxford, England. I only found out what was in these two dishes after I’d already eaten them: haggis consists of really gross parts of a sheep or calf mixed with oatmeal and seasonings, and boiled in a lining made from an animal’s stomach; blood pudding is made of … well, let’s just say it’s pretty much what it sounds like. Hungry, anyone?
Hi, Nathalie! This is your Aunt Betty. A “most memorable” food for me was an octopus soup in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. I thought it the octopus would be something that would resemble any other cut-up meat, but when I got a spoonful with meat still having the little sucker things on it, I really didn’t want to put it in my mouth. But, being young at the time, and a food adventurer, I proceeded to eat the soup, and it was quite tasty. Visually, not so great.
