Whats the weirdest thing you ate while in the military?

Burro burgers while deployed TDY to Soto Cano AB, Honduras

Escargot (snails) in Toulon, France. Nasty

Ate the beating heart of a cobra and drank its blood.

While on a short support mission with 9th Spec Ops BN in Costa Rica on the Nicaragua border. We got only MREs every meal unless you could catch or buy something else. We figured out how to lasso iguana lizards out of the rain forest trees. The local natives showed us the best way to roast them over a camp fire. They also sold us some primo chilli pepper dipping hot sauce for lizard and snake. It was really good eats.

In Korea i had Kegogi

Iguana and Howler Monkey they both tasted like cilantro,

Humorous stuff and brought back memories. Ate some of the things mentioned. Believe the Marines hold top spot for odd mess hall food. Ate in one for a week. None of the cooks were cooks. They were infantry recouping from combat duty. Worst thing was washing down some unknown things with Duck's Blood and Brandy in Vietnam. Had to drink until drunk (for improving relations) had to fly 0500 next morning. Don't know all that I ate but it all ended up inside a little O-1 I had to clean up.....

If you didn't watch them prep it , monkey was not bad. Water Buffalo was like eating your boots.
Lots of hot sauce and eat fast. Even C-rations were better.

Living with the 'Yards in RVN, you learned not to ask. Suffice it to say they used very part of their animals.

Elephant at MINSY 1975.
