Welcome to my "Strange, Odd, And Disturbing Food Suppliers" page.  Having made a few happenstance discoveries of various strange foods, I felt it necessary to collect these into single location for those adventurous enough to try them.

If you happen to know of online retailers of Strange, Odd, or Disturbing food products please feel free to email me so I can check it out and add it to my page.

Lutefisk That wonderful Scandinavian delicacy that just makes your mouth water just by thinking of it. Yeah, right!  Cod and lye.  Well if you ever wondered where you could get some of this delightful stuff here it is.

Haggis All the world fears the tread of a man who eats haggis.  Or at least they fear his breath!

Sheep's Paunch (stomach bag), heart, lung, liver of sheep, and beef suet are all critical ingredients for "a haggis".

Looks tasty! Oh, if you want to make your own you can try this recipe.

Exotic Meats Not all that strange nor really all that odd, not even disturbing to some. But when you need it, where else are going to get Kangaroo, Antelope, Bear, Possum, Turtle, or any of a number of exotic meats?

Or Possibly some Green Curry Crocodile?

Fugu Ok, not really a supplier of anything but information, but still I find the concept of a food that can kill you a bit disturbing and felt I should share.

Bugs They crawl, wiggle, hop, and fly.  Slated to inherit the earth when we destroy ourselves, our only defense is to eat them first.

Pork Brains

 

Updated 6/30/05

Sadly, Armour foods has decided to discontinue this product. In a letter I received from them dated June 23, 2005, they state:

Thank you for taking the time to contact The Dial Corporation concerning Armour Star Pork Brains.

Because the overall demand for this product was so slight, it has been discontinued and is no longer available as part of our product line. As a result the recipe is no longer available either.

Imagine that! The demand was low! And it appears that the product was so bad they destroyed the recipe for making it.

Ever need just a bit of  brain food to get you through that tough project you are working on?  Armour foods sells pork brains in milk.  Oddly enough, they don't give you a whole lot of details on the product.

'Asians' will, apparently, drink all sorts off odd things. I was given a bottle of 'Basil Seed with honey drink' which as the appearance of being frog eggs scooped up from some swamp.  Here a couple places that list their products.

Asian Snack Food You know, sometimes you just need a good old swig of Pocari Sweat to get you going, or maybe you need a quick snack of Muscat Gummy chews to tide you over till dinner.  No? Well then if you are up late at night you probably are looking for some BlackBlack gum; loaded with that caffeine you crave!

Civet Coffee

Added 4/1/05

Take one cute mammal add the coffee berry, one of their favorite fruits, let the digestive system process it a bit and excrete it, pick it up, wash it off, and roast it. You have Civet Coffee, one of the most expensive drinks in the world.

Learn a bit about Civets here. Get your 'earthy' coffee here.
