A lot of food I've had I didn't even know what it was.

I guess one of the strangest was the fried scorpions on a stick as street food in China. Tastes like crispy pork.

The list is quite long.

Wow sounds really good too!! I've always wanted to go to China because, I've heard that the street vendors that are there make some of the best food ever...

I saw that
all I can say its terrible terrible

kidneys taste like the smell of old man pee, and don't ever drink milk while eating fresh artichokes...the after-taste is hidious!

We in England have a "steak and kidney pie" is the most delicious thing specially if cooked with Guinness. Most delightful specially at lunch time with a pint

that does sound awesome, and i plan on going there as well, maybe next year, ot the year after. japan first, to try the best sushi!

i'd try it over there for sure, i cooked these, and i'm sure i brought the piss flavor out in full form with my ignorance, lol

Eels

But I loved it!!!

I've had eel in sushi and it's great!! MMMM!!!

Rocky Mountain oysters

To those who want to travel in China, here are some tips.

China is accustomed to being a "controlled" society. They will assume that you want to eat at the hotel because that is the easiest for them to control (and make a profit). They will assume you want to eat American food most of the time so will typically set the hotel up for an American buffet. Simply ignore it and walk around the hotel till you find the Chinese buffet and eat there. The food will be ten times better and no one will care (no matter where you are in China). Chinese food is nothing like "American Chinese food".

Regardless of what they plan for you to eat, go find the street food vendors (they will not be hard to find). The dumplings will be the best you can get anywhere and will have infinite variety. Beware the strange looking meat unless you want to eat dog. The food costs almost nothing so get some help from your tour guide in paying for it.

Snake wine actually contains snake and isn't really wine.

thanks a million metalwing!!!

once guys at a job dared me to eat a potato bug and he dared me to eat 2 chopped off heads of a black beetle so after he lit his lighter i did it, and at the same job i also ate some glass dust cause they dared me, i worked in a glass plant BTW

If you find something called "fragrant meat" at a chinese resturant, beware! This is dog.

Shark, alligator, woodchuck, turtle (the eggs weren't bad, but oy, the meat in soup just bounces around in your mouth), rattlesnake, and frogs legs. Puffer fish, we umm didn't know about the poison aspect when we moved to FL and luckily when my dad cleaned them, he didn't nick the bile duct or liver or whatever part has the contamination to the meat ability, so it was just pretty good fish to us.
