Description: Cuy Chactado (Deep Fried Guinea Pig)
Category: Rodent

These things are gutted and shaved, then flattenned out and deep fried, head, claws and all. Tastes similar to really crispy fried chicken. Not much meat on them, the skin is really crunchy and lots of small bones.
In the pic, you can see the large teeth.

My Bros Pizza (Seattle) has something called the "dome" which must be bigger and better since it's pizza in a bowl.

Ethiopian Food

A variety of thick stews (called "wat") made from beef, chicken, lentils, and vegetables." It's all spread out on a spongy thin bread called "injera." To eat it you tear off a piece of injera and use it to grab a handful of the wat. No utensils required.

Menu from our local Ethiopian restaurant.

Elk tips in bourbon gravy
category: main course
location: Firebird's in Short Pump, VA
similar to buffalo, maybe a little sweeter, could have been the gravy!

Buffalo burger
category: "fast food"
location: Wall Drug, Wall, SD
similar to an angus beef burger, but different enough that you know it's not cow, very tasty nonetheless.

If you ever get down to South America, try some Alpaca steak. Awesome.

No, this was in Arequipa, Peru. Alpaca steak is good too,

[carmad]

Try anything once, as long as its dead.

[nostatic]

injera rocks. And the soylent stuff looks suspicously like saag paneer.

Bun - vietnamese cold noodle dish with various greens and meats with fish sauce. Amazing.

Thanks Carmad, when I saw this thread my first thought was the "cuy" in Peru. Don't knock it till you try it guys! I was thrilled that someone posted it. It is a national dish in Peru like their ceviche is a national dish. (marinated raw fish in lime juice with hot flavor). I have also had the alpaca steak in the high Andes mountains there. I lived in Peru for a few years and have visited several times with family and keep in contact with friends there and always seek out their cuisine in the US when I can find it and also cook some specialties at home. Also, their national soft drink is "Inca Kola" a yellow colored drink made from an herb that is the only soft drink to out sell Coca-Cola in any country, thus Coca-Cola bought out the company in year 2000. At first taste it has a bubble gum flavor and is best ice cold, it was designed to compliment their ceviche dish. Enjoy.

On a trip to RAAF Base Tindal in Australia several years ago, a bunch of us Marines went to the Katherine Country Club for dinner. The menu included Kangaroo, Crocodile and Barramundi.

All of it was extremely delicious!!! The Barramundi with a taste of hot english mustard was exquisite!!!

Mountain oysters at the Rocky Mountain Oyster festival in Montana. Enough beer or Jack Daniels beforehand helps...

Seems like there are a lot of Indian food lovers. Anyone for Ethiopian (the various "wots", if you like injera you'll like that)? No Thai (Evil Jungle prince, or Prik King, or various curries)?
