What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever eaten?

I ate some Dried Squid from a Street Cart in Thailand. Big mistake. Life was rough for the next couple days. Ate quite a few strange things all over SE Asia but that one fought back something fierce.

Edit: I have eaten Mtn Lion, Water Buffalo, Alligator, Caribou, Ostrich,........ at restaurants in the US. All of them were good, just different. Elk or Antelope are probably my favorite wild game meats.
Gotta be real careful with the dried meats over here. Any of the flavored dried beef or pork I’ve had have been almost 100% chance of bubbly guts/insta-squirts. Funny enough, never had that issue with dried squid and that shit’s delicious and cheap.

Oh it got me, and something fierce. Went from Bangkok to Burma(Myanmar) the next morning. Was sick as a dog our 2nd day in Burma. Had it coming out of both ends, high fever, skull splitting headaches, profuse sweating, chills, uncontrollable shaking, sweats....... I was a fucking wreck. Sickest I have ever been in my life. I thought I had Malaria but the doctor said it was bacterial from something I ate. Got me on Anti-Biotics plus electrolytes but it took 3-4 more days before I could trust a fart. I literally sweat through my pillow 1 night. It was like a wet sponge and our hotel room smelled like death. Actually my buddy said he could smell the stench coming out of my body when he entered the hallway of our hotel. That hotel needed to burn that pillow and mattress as they wreaked of death.

I was there for 3 months and rolled the dice on so many tasty treats, only came up Snake Eyes once. Ate off of carts and small stands all over the place. Some seriously tasty food. The way I figure it after eating off of carts & small restaurants in fucked up places like Thailand, Burma, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, Mexico, Council Bluffs...... plus extended time spent in Party Cove at the Lake of the Ozarks my immune system should be strong enough to fight off anything.
 
I had Beaver once, we slow-cooked it in a crockpot, pot roast style and it was legit better than beef. Zero game taste.

Side note, it's funny how the people that love deer meat have 80% of the meat they harvest made into jerky or sausage. Elk is top tier, deer you just eat so you don't waste the meat.

I love ribeye, prime rib, hamburgers and I love deer. Here’s the crazy kicker….I have 0% made into jerky! Just have to know how to prepare it.
I would start by saying know how to care for it once you shoot it. After that don’t be a retard, process the meat correctly and in a timely manor.

I'm not saying deer meat is bad necessarily, I've had some solid deer steaks but it doesn't compare to beef, bison, or elk IMO. It would definitely be my last choice out of those lol

Each have their place and time but you’re most likely correct in your placement of them imo

If I had a dollar every time my brother said that I'd have a new boat with multiple live scopes.

Here's how that conversation went (been a while):

Me - Deer sucks
Joe - You just don't know how to cook it.
Me - Show me how then. I don't have anywhere to be.
Joe - *cooks deer meat*
Me - *eats deer* You must not know how to prepare it either cause it still sucks.
Joe - Wull normally I marinade it. Or wull normally I blah blah blah.
Me - ok let me know when you've got it prepared correctly and I'll come over.
Joe - Fuck you. I'm not wasting my deer steaks on you anymore.

I wouldn’t waste them on you either in his case. And I’m guessing you use your live scope to find carp 🤣

I eat a lot of whole deer cuts. Definitely don’t just put it all into sticks and jerky. I never overcook the whole cuts and I like it but wouldn’t say I’m ever floored by it either. A couple years back at the Nebraska BowHunters Association banquet they had a parking lot tailgate. Whoever made that deer steak made the best I’ve ever tasted; you knew it wasn’t beef, but holy shite it was good. I was also hammered drunk. Hope this helps.
 
I just got the sonar because it was on sale. Haven't got the actual livescope unit yet. Pretty pumped for fishing this spring.
Live scope will be a game changer. Only excuse for not catching fish will be barometer and presentation.

I’ve got a buddy at Garmin. When my time comes to get it that’ll be at a 50% discount.
