Dude.......................ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

My hats off to ya! I consider myself an adventureous eater....but....I would have to seriously think about some of that you have pictured there.
The show Man vs. Wild comes to mind.

what stopped me cold was DOG meat. i peeked in and saw all the scared dogs in tiny cages.. the guys looked like they were going to kick my butt if i took out my camera. i walked out casual. it smelled good.

the snake heart was a no-go. my rule was that it had to be cooked. they eat the heart straight out of the snake.

You guys gotta watch "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" on the Travel Channel. That dood eats way weird stuff; still beating hearts, brains, etc.....

No friggin way. Insta-vomit for me. You've got your own reality show there.

Yep, my love of sashimi, snails, and squid (which usually gross out my dining companions) makes me think I'm adventurous. Clearly we are in different classes of "adventurous".

I'm with Terry. No way!

The only bugs I eat, are the ones that fly into my mouth while rollerblading.

Rhino beetle larva?

My food has a maximum leg-count of 4.
