A monkey.

I had received orders for southeast Asia in 1968 and the Air Force sent me to a survival school in Panama. I figured I could last a week without eating - WRONG!!!

One of the other attendees was a Bolivian pilot who managed to catch a monkey. We boiled it and devoured it.

When you're starving, you get over being squeamish.

Some of these are pretty disgusting. All that i've eaten are real chocolate covered insects.

Was there a Part 2 to that story, as in Number 2? In other words, did she get them back?

Ah, yes. SERE school.

We caught a snowshoe hare. I named him Stu. He lived up to the name quite well.

So yeah: put me down for "raw rabbit eye." My buddy got the other one. . .

Nothing so exotic as some of you, but I enjoyed the goldfish from a friend's turtle tank. Yes, I know how dirty turtle tanks can be. It may have had something to do with alcohol, in fact the alcohol may be what saved me from getting really sick!

Wife spent some time in the Philippines and told me all about durian, that it smells and tastes like a cross between rotten onions and dirty socks and is covered with spikes, yet it was considered a very special treat for the children there.

I've never tried the real thing, but we did get a box of durian popsicles at the Asian market. The rotten onion flavor doesn't hit you til just after you've swallowed it, and then it stays with you a while. I took three more bites thinking it might get easier, but once the ol' gag reflex kicked in I had to give up.

We kept them in the freezer to trick our friends with, which was hilarious, until James (Siafirede) brought over his friend Roy whose family is from Thailand. He devoured it and actually seemed to like it.

Yeah, my friends and I tried both the durian popsicles and packaged "fresh" durian...the smell was only rivaled by the taste in WTF-ness.
