I didn't like cheese for my whole life, until...last October! Just realised this is my one year cheese anniversary!

Cheese totally rocks! It's getting to that red wine, onion jam, light the fire time of year - get the Stilton & co out  I love all foods, including all manner of exotic shellfish, seafood, crustaceans & the like. I don't think I could handle insects, grubs and that kind of caper though. Never tried frogs legs, snails or anything reptilian. |

I've seen alligator in several places ( which I imagine is much like croc ) - Walkabout have it, and that's hardly some obscure foodie gastro-whatnot. I've had snail, but it just tasted like garlicy chewyness really. |

Meh, shows what little I know; I had no idea crocodile was a widely available delicacy. (fuck me I have become such a clueless old bumpkin, I need to get back to the smoke) Can't say I fancy it though; just something about eating reptilian flesh really grosses me out for some reason What was conch like Grim...? I imagine large and chewy lol |

I think they farm gators commercially in the US ( although I get the skin is a large part of that ). Croc tale : I once went to a crocodile tourist attraction in Tunisia. Some poor sod with a broom got into the croc pit and started cleaning up. When ever a croc was where he wanted to sweep, he'd just kick it until it moved. He was hoofing these 10ft monsters, and they were quietly moving out of the way for him. |

When the Thunderbirds episode Attack of the Alligators! used live crocs, they wouldn't do bugger all. They ended up trying to zap them with electricity to make them do anything, because they got sleepy under the studio lights. An RSPCA man was called in by one of the employees who thought the crocs were being ill treated, but all the RSPCA man did was advise them to up the voltage (from 20 to 60, I think) of the shocks because the animals had such thick skin

I love snails the way they serve them here in Catalonia. Before moving here (seven and a half years ago, now, wtf?!?) I'd never tried them. |

The ones at australia zoo were pretty docile too, just sitting there doing nothing, apart from at the croc show, then they actually moved and jumped out of the water and stuff. |

I love crocodiles, they fascinate me - a real relic from the Earth's past. They were, of course, around at the time of the dinosaurs. Such primitive creatures; absolutely fearsome and deadly, yet I can't help thinking they're amusing, even cute? Bizarre. I certainly wouldn't want to eat one. |

I remember half listening to something on R4 a couple of years back; basically some guy reckoned slugs eggs in his garden were no different than caviar, and proceeded to eat some.... they tried to edit out the sound of the woman who was interviewing him boiking/gagging in the background  Dirty bastard. |

My friends used to mock me for eating tesco seafood pizzas. However i cant find a good one anymore anywhere. Also snails or escargot is a sure thing when ever i see it on a menu. The first time i tried i had to have a whole bottle if wine but now i quite enjoy it sober. And horse meat is the yum. |

fries in milkshake, eugh (sorry Mr Kissyfur) I'm not used to any sort of mixing sweet and savory, so mint sauce and cranberry sauce etc make me shudder. Peanut butter and jelly, eugh. But then someone reminded me peanut butter and chocolate hagelslag was like peanut m&m's and I see the sense in that so I'll make an exception for that one. not at all dutchie related: don't faint people but I don't like alcohol (which is why I can't come to the cottage) |
