Tasty or …

We asked five people what the strangest thing they’ve ever eaten was. Here are the five
replies.

‘When I was in South Africa I ate springbok. It’s a kind of antelope, I think. The meat was a
bit tough and very salty, but then that might have been just the way it was cooked. I don’t
think I’d eat it again, but it certainly wasn’t unpleasant.’
Tom

‘Yuck! I wish you hadn’t asked me that question. It brings back horrible memories. I must
have been about 14 and I was on a school trip to France. Our teachers took us to a typical
French restaurant and made us try different food. Of course we all had to eat frogs’ legs. I
thought they were disgusting!’
Mandy

‘I come from China and we’re well known for eating almost anything, but I have to say that
the strangest thing I’ve ever tried was here in the UK. I went to Scotland for a short holiday
and had Haggis, it was OK and I’d happily have it again if it was served to me, but it’s not
something I’d want to eat regularly.’
Chen

‘Ants, definitely. We were in the Amazon on an adventure holiday. One day we were
walking through the rainforest when our guide stopped, peeled back the bark from a tree
and started picking up ants and putting them in his mouth. Of course, we all had to try
them. At first I was a bit unsure, but they were delicious. They tasted a bit like lemon!’
Juan

‘Probably Miso soup. It’s a Japanese dish and they eat it for breakfast. I think it’s made
from beans and it’s quite strong tasting. It’s not so much that it’s strange, but it’s definitely
not something I’d normally have for breakfast.’
