keep an eye out for deer's penis, bee larvae in honeycomb, cobra blood and brandy, fried red ant in honey or sugar ( a bit like peanut brittle) . Only two things I have ever said no to were duck fetuses and chicken feet, tried most bugs no problem, even had bear although at the time they told me it was deer.

Chicken and duck feet can be pretty tasty in a soup, although I did find the idea revolting at first. You just have to pull the skin/meat part off the multiple knuckles with your teeth.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Had dog in Hanoi, the sliced variety smells like a wet Labrador .Full of sweat glands. Not a good taste! The dog sausage is even more foul, kinda black and white, looks like a dog turd and tastes nasty, err , not that i have tried dog turd! It did stick in my throat the rest of the day.
Filipino Balut, egg fetus, is the worse, managed the veiny baby chick, which slips down your throat like a large snot ball but passed on the green fluid of the egg.

Anyone sampled bbq moggy?
Although, horace and co. are right on when it comes to the specialities.

I had those onec--but none of the other stuff mentioned above. Roast swallow is available on the river side, also the duck fetus, if it is duck.duck fetuses and chicken feet,
Exposure to cat feces in childhood can induice schizophrenia-- there is a correlation between the t. gondi parasite carried by cats and adult onset bipolar illness and schizophrenia, still very poorly understood. the parasite actually re-programs mice brains in such a way that makes them seek out their feline predators, where it really wants to be... ---another source of the t;gondi parasite is UNDERCOOKED MEAT,---so if you have a pregnant girlfriend or wife you might want to stay away from cats and dubious riverside eateries..

So I can walk into the duck soup restaurant in Battambang, and instead of ordering a duck soup just get a pork noodle soup with offal. Like every Cambodian that goes there every morning.pedros wrote:the plate of entrails and offal so favoured by beer girls......
offal/entrail mix: bar girl favourite
RICH KHMERS EAT OFFAL. BARANGS EAT OFFAL. It's not only a bar girl favourite, but obviously you know better.

One thing I tried, but couldn't manage to eat here is those giant water snails. If anyone abroad feels like recreating this delicacy for themselves at home, try heating up a few of these rubber finger monsters in some hot water, then season them with a pinch of salt.

Anyone else tried the snake kebabs near the Golden Lions Sihanoukville? About an 8inch snake on a bamboo skewers.
I had so many jugs I was not sure if you just ate the flesh or the bones as well like a sardine. Found out the hard way and a bone buried in the back of my throat for months afterwards.

I've eaten these ones the vendors who walk around sell, they are as tough as old boots, you need to carefully tear all the meat off first :Ukky wrote:Anyone else tried the snake kebabs near the Golden Lions Sihanoukville?

Back to things...
I ate offal as a kid as my parents had that much money at that time. Later on they did have the money.
Why post an OP complaining that the Cambodians eat offal? I did as a kid.

Guess I should have been more careful.. or sober.
That's all pretty common.
I've had tiger in Anlong Veng, twice, they wanted me to try the penis so I had to go back after half a year when they finally had another one.
Had wild elephant trunk and pangolin in Mondulkiri, lots of whale in Tokyo and bear paw in Jilin, China.
Bonobo in Gabon, gorilla in Ruanda but couldn't get chimpanzee.
Tried most of the small, endangered wild cats in Africa too.
How's that for a foodie's trophy room?
