BP - what is the weirdest thing you have cooked

My brother boiled a dead cat once.  And only once. 

He wanted to construct the whole skeleton.  After the stench from boiling it (it was from the biology lab so it was preserved) he said F*ck it and threw it away.

I would have hated to be my mom.

Then end.

(or is it?)

If he boiled it, without the intention of eating it... well, he just boiled a cat.

Live cats are harder to boil let me tell you

What counts as weird??

I have the same question. I’ve started to answer this thread a couple of times. Then I go, “wait - that’s not weird”. 

The most uncommon thing I cook is mountain oysters. They are not weird though in cattle country. A friend’s grandma used to make calf brains and scrambled eggs for us. I can’t count that though because I didn’t cook it.

Certainly not a splayed hairless goat strapped to a cross hanging over a cinder-block fire pit suspended by a 1000 lb capacity Harbor Freight engine hoist.  That's not weird.  Not at all.

One man's weird, is anither man's lunch .... No real answer for you, other than what have you cooked that you suspect we have not, but would find interesting?

Liquefied pig stuffed into a casing mixed with a bunch of industrial chemicals.

This weird food is called a "hot dog".

The weirdest thing is not what we cook, but what we do not.

America is a nation of immigrants and a melting pot from many countries and cultures.  But we seem to abandon cooking the really weird stuff from our origins for some reason. 

Probably because we'll be called out on a thread like this.

But who knows, really.

That is like the amazing and mystifying gravity defying liquid transport device.

Also known as a "straw"

It's all magic, man.  That which cannot be explained is either god or a really weird conspiracy theory.

Called out?  I am genuinely interested.  I am bored of pork shoulder, brisket, steak, and ribs.  Looking for something else to try.

I didn't mean like doxing.  Some people are ashamed in where they come from, or afraid of what people will think.  If you have an Asian market near you, browse through it.  If it's remotely edible and semi-nonpoisonous and legal, you will find it there.  You'll at the very least feel better about being bored. Or maybe you'll be eating emu eyeball and blowfish spines.

I warmed up half a grilled cheese and ham sandwich I found in back of the fridge. I had the coals going from a previous cook. It was late at night, after numerous adult beverages. Numerous.

I see that the OP did not indicate that the item in question had to be cooked on an Egg, so.... frog legs.  

From frogs that we caught that same day in the wild.  I grew up in NH that's all you need to know really.  

My brother and I would gig frogs when we were younger. He's several years older than me and told me the best way to get the skin off is to make a cut and lift the edge up just enough to get your teeth on. It was the grossest feeling/tasting thing I've ever experienced.

That's how the rona got started

Fried armadillo on a hunting trip.  Moist mostly white meat. Tastes between chicken and pork.  Plus we gave the shells to an old man who made purses out of the hollowed out shell, using the tail for the handle.

When I was in high school we'd go out about once a year and shoot bullfrogs. We could find HUGE frogs back then. We'd fry up the legs. (We did not skin them with our teeth)

This concept of leftover grilled cheese is foreign to me.  Do you have pictures?

One of my favorite places is a huge Asian market.  Reminds me of living in Japan as soon as I walk in.  There butcher/seafood counter is a sight to behold.  That is where I buy a lot of my bones and knuckles.  A lot of their stuff is intimidating.  They had pig face last time I was there.

It must suck to live in Oregon; small amounts of cocaine are no longer prosecuted, but straws are illegal.

Oregon hates magic, that is the only reasonable conclusion one can draw.

Tall boy cans of Old English in an oven to pour over frozen Tommy Burgers (small chili burger chain here in So Cal) to make them edible. The cans of OE would give off a nice explosion when opened.

I am assuming Old English is also a drink, and not the furniture polish I am familiar with.
