I had alligator when I was in Florida. It tasted like tough chicken.

I had aligator once too. Your description pretty much sums it up though.

Tonight though I went to a Czech restaraunt for a formal function. They served Liver balls in beef broth. I braved myself and tried it. Flavor was ok but it was tough as could be. might be weirder then the whole squid thing, not really sure at this point though.

I didn't notice anything odd about it. When beef soup is prepared, there is blood anyway, even if actual blood is not part of the stock. The marrow in the bones contains blood.

It was terrible. It tasted like a pork rind that had been soaked in water. Yuck!

yeah, that's definitely odd. I am not a fan of pork rinds. I'll stick with Bacon.

I've never tried tripe, but I know it's the inner lining of a cow's stomach.

I didn't know that when I tried it. I thought it was a type of fish.

Here's the one that really bothers me. I wouldn't try it even if I was starving: Fried-Brain Sandwich

It looks like they are popular in Evansville, Indiana:

Rocky Mountain Oysters are definitely not seafood.

Those are something I would never try.

That doesn't scare me. sounds interesting.

Anyone here ever eaten anything while it was still alive?

Me too!

There's a bar by us that has a Turkey Testicle Festival. You couldn't pay me to go to it.

I saw Reba McEntire in concert during the late 90s. She told a story about how she got an unsuspecting TV host to try Rocky Mountain Oysters. The TV show host said how much he liked them and asked what they were. She told him, "bull's balls," and she said that he almost lost his lunch at that point.
