    What's the starngest type food you have ever eaten? (For me, it was a tin of whale meat I bought 40 years ago in a goutmet food shop in Miami)

    In Nigeria’s far north-eastern Borno State, man is biting back against the desert locust. Swarms of migrating locusts seasonally strip the semi-arid region of its scanty vegetation and crops.

    But Gambo Ibrahim, 27, a locust hunter, says the people of Borno have found a way of converting the desert locust’s assault into an annual banquet.

    They eat the locusts which they call Desert shrimps.

    I'd have to say...

    A middle east dish that consists of rice/meat being wrapped in some sort of leaf. I wasn't sure if you were supposed to eat the leaf.

    Darwin was a part of something called the gluttony club and said that puffin was particularly foul. Weirdest thing I have ever eaten was kangaroo. Although, my national dish is haggis which isn't exactly to everyone's taste!!!!!!!

    That stuff's good. And no, you don't eat the leaf :D

    I don't think I've eaten anything weird lately. Does octopus count? :confused:
