Weekly question: What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?
One thing I've learned in my culinary experience is that almost anybody can love anything, it just depends on who's cooking it. When I was a little baby I used to think snails were gross, to be fair I still think snails are a bit gross. But the way my mom used to cook and prepare snails. The spices, the different soups, and stews she would make with them, different dishes that made the whole house smell immaculate. Best believe I dabbled every now and then. But yeah I would say snails.
See you in a video very soon and thank you all for your support <3

OH! I missed the foodie part. Hmmm. Other than the chocolate covered cricket I ate (surprisingly ok!), probably the oddest thing would be Black Pudding. Not something we have in the US, I don't think, but it was on a lot of breakfast menu's or "full English breakfasts" when I lived "over yonder". For those that don't know what it is, it is Black, but not pudding (never understood why they call it that). It's actually blood sausage. Sounds horrid. Mine was pan fried, with an egg, fried in bacon fat, layered on top of the sausage with roasted potatoes (English style! Yum!) on the side. With the yolk, it was all very delicious. I'll probably never have it again - unless I travel back yonder. ;)

2024-09-11 15:54:27 +0000 UTCFood that has betrayed me 🤣😭 so sorry. I also just watched tons of videos of what Vegemite tastes like. And I am so sorry you ate that the Vegemite cake
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:53:58 +0000 UTCI just watched the video you sent. Absolutely looks incredible
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:47:57 +0000 UTCOh shit. You're Nigerian😃. I haven't heard about that maggot meal before. I'll look it up. Sounds so interesting
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:45:43 +0000 UTCThat's also a good idea for next week's question🧡
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:44:30 +0000 UTCI love that you are adventurous with food. At the end of the day depends on who makes it. I didn't even know what esargot was till I looked it up after your comment. that's really a good idea. I believe I have an old Q&A a video here on patreon. But I'll make a new one.
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:43:30 +0000 UTCChicken feeds is a regular back home. Honestly, we eat most of the animal. The head, the tail, feet, the tongue, everything. When you said Pig blood and chocolate meat I almost lost it. But then I looked up a picture of it and God damn. I could take a plate.
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:40:19 +0000 UTCtastes like a sweet garlicky sweat sock🤣🤣🤣 ayooooo haha. That sounds like a one-and-done kind of situation. Interesting. I always assumed it would be sweet. We learn everyday
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:37:50 +0000 UTCFirst off. I love that you answered this question as if you were waiting your whole life to be asked this question. I could feel the enthusiasm in your response and I loved it haha I agree. Being from Nigeria. There are a lot of foods we eat today that people outside of that environment might consider weird. But it's just every other Tuesday for us. You mentioned a lot of very interesting ones. And I like how you focused on the experience. And the mental barriers being broken. I've had those roasted dried grasshoppers before. Exquisite

2024-09-11 15:35:54 +0000 UTCyerrrrrr!! Everybody gets an interview reaction 🤘🏾 aww proud of you and your kiddo for making it through🧡
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:32:36 +0000 UTCFor real. Feels like I started yesterday
Franklin
2024-09-11 15:31:22 +0000 UTCI can’t believe you’re almost finished with Ted Lasso 😨😭😭

2024-09-10 12:01:44 +0000 UTCI am so slow! I saw that you were doing IWTV on Monday and for some reason thought it next week’s post and it just hit me that this is TODAY! Thank you! I took my kiddo to his first day of kindergarten and it was a terribly rough transition so I’m so emotionally tender today. I feel like I’m getting a prize for perseverance! :)

2024-09-09 20:09:23 +0000 UTCOoh, this is interesting! There's food that is generally considered "weird" (like 'zarajos', where you coil lamb intestine on a literal tree stick and roast it on an open fire, like people do with marshmallows), or that other countries find terrible (blood sausage, octopus, bulls testicles) I've had, but that here in Spain are actually very common and mundane, so I can't really find them weird... So, actually, for me, the weirdest thing I've eaten is actually "pine needle dust". My sister went to Finland once, and came back with a little tin of it. Apparently, over there they sprinkle it on yoghurt. It's very potent, strongly herbaceous and deeply resinous. It tasted like nothing I had ever imagined or had a reference for. So, it's not that the ingredient is extraordinary, but the *experience* really was. It was a window into an everyday life that was very different from mine. In a sort of more standard version, also "chapulines", the roasted grasshoppers they sell in Mexican markets. I knew already that they must taste good, because so many people happily eat them, but the moment of putting an insect on my tongue willingly for the first time was another time I had to tear down some subconscious mental barriers. And they *are* delicious! Very nutty, crunchy, salty, genuinely a great snack (I found they have a bitter line, like shrimp, so I don't know if you can 'devein' them, but they would be even better).

2024-09-09 19:06:57 +0000 UTCIt’s usually fried, boiled, or roasted. Just found this TikTok video describing it: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ja9e5Y/

2024-09-09 17:36:14 +0000 UTCOh interesting! Do they get cooked or prepared any special way?

2024-09-09 17:09:20 +0000 UTCVery excited for IWTV and The Wire this week! I’ve eaten some unusual cuts of meat / offal. Blood sausage, tripe, tendon, pig ears. It’s all pretty good when prepared well! The most challenging thing I’ve eaten was durian though. It’s a fruit but it tastes like a sweet garlicky sweat sock. I could see developing a taste for it over time, I love a fragrant fruit, but man it was intense and offputting.

2024-09-09 17:07:38 +0000 UTCLooks like a good week! I love food, but I wouldn’t say I’m that adventurous with it. Maybe chicken feet at dim sum lol There’s a Filipino dish called Dinuguan made with pork blood. It’s delicious, and we like to tell people it’s “chocolate meat” 😆

2024-09-09 15:34:02 +0000 UTCI'm SO EXCITED for M & F reaction videos. 😃 Honestly, I think the weirdest food I've ever eaten is the same as yours -- escargot/snails when I was in high school on a trip to Quebec with the French club. I love food and like to think I would try almost anything. Hey, this is off the topic, but as a new patreon followers, I'd love to know more about where you're from, your family, where you live now, etc. Not too personal of details, but a general "about me" type of video. Maybe you have an older one from when you first started this? I really love your work and your personality. Makes me want to learn more about you. Maybe that could be next week's question & we could get to know one another as part of this community. 🤔

2024-09-09 15:32:42 +0000 UTCIn my parents village in Nigeria, they make these edible worms/maggots from palm trees and they’re sooooooooo good. I forget what they’re called but they’re beyond delicious. The worm/maggots aspect can be a turn off if you haven’t tried them before but they’re so yummy lol

2024-09-09 14:51:48 +0000 UTCIf you ever have the opportunity to try Finnish Mämmi- don't. Just, don't 😂 This dish is still, 11 years later, registered in my brain under "Food that has betrayed me". It looked like a chocolate brownie cake, but the first bite taught me better. It's like as if Vegemite was made into a cake. 🥴
Ramona
2024-09-09 14:42:54 +0000 UTCI am so excited for the upcoming IWTV episodes! 🙀
