I would have to say the strangest things I ever ate were frog legs at a small southern restaurant in St. Augustine Florida. They were spicy and not something I would ever order again. Oksana Horton, Artistic Director, Torch and Trumpet Theatre Company The strangest thing that I ever ate was mannish water (goat head soup) while on a long-term mission trip in Trelawny, Jamaica. I was okay until I saw an eyeball, and that was the end of that. Patricia Colangelo, EdS, Lecturer, Professor, Trinity International University – Florida My stomach churns as I recount this story of the strangest and most exotic thing I ever ate. In the early 80s a half dozen lifeguard friends and I had spent a weekend dive trip on the island of Bimini in the Bahamas. At the ‘only’ seafood restaurant on the island, we ordered what would be called “The Surf & Turf Platter.” On that platter was every type of sea creature known to man: octopus, turtle, conch, squid, oysters, clams, mussels, sea snails, sea anemones, shrimp, scallops… Lots of other items that were unidentifiable even to me an avid diver who grew up watching “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau.” Footnote: I never ate seafood again. I’d prefer to wear a dive mask and look at the underwater sea life, rather than eat any of it! Coach Rick Andreassen, Founder/President, SAINTS International Sports Ministry and SAINTS Homeschool P.E. I will admit I tried snake blood in Taipei Night Market back in 1986 after the SS Universe ship docked in Keelung, Taiwan. At the time, I was a sophomore student on the Semester at Sea program and yes, peer pressure was a factor. Sandra Muvdi, MBA, President/CEO, Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation® The strangest thing that I’ve ever eaten is actually something that most people fear would eat them. When I worked at a retail store years ago, one of the employee's family members went hunting for bear and brought us some back to try. It tasted a bit like meatloaf and was actually pretty good. I “bearly” noticed it wasn’t beef! Thank God that in Acts 10:15, God tells us not to call anything impure that He has made clean so we can try these exotic foods. Steve Daigle, Campus Pastor, Calvary Chapel Parkland We went to Israel this this past June with our church group tour, and I have never seen such exotic and strange food as I was served in Israel. I never knew what I was eating until after I ate it. It was so good the vegetables the beef. Just the best food I’ve probably have ever had and never knew what it was. Steve Solomon, Area Director, CBMC South Florida I was at an event when a friend brought what looked like fried chicken nuggets! She encouraged me to eat it. It had a different smell, so I was apprehensive. I am a very picky eater. Anyway, I decided to indulge and take a bite. When she started to laugh, I knew something was up. She exclaimed, “It’s alligator!” What! Ugh!! I thought I was going to be sick. Yuck!!! Talk about mind over matter. To this day, I can still grimace a little.
