What weird thing have you eaten raw that is normally cooked?

dolo amber ate a whole raw potato once (with salt)... I've eaten raw okra (blech)... What have you eaten raw that most people eat cooked?

what on earth were you thinking?

:puke:

:puke: Fuzzy snot.

They were both raw and live. :P

for a very limited time

The red ones were hot and made my tongue numb and the black ones just tasted like dirt. :shrug:

I used to describe it like sweet-tarts, but citrusy is more accurate.

yum.

eat raw bread dough. x(

:9
Delicious

We buy it for just that reason!

I've eaten them since I was a kid.

Weirdest thing for me was spaghetti, I think.

I'd be afraid of it puncturing something on the way down. :scared:

Also, unbaked pie crust dough.

I like that raw, too. Weird!

My own.




(Metaphorically.)

Mmmm...chocolate chip

Not nearly as good once it's cooked

i grew some of my own and they were really good snapped fresh off the vine

though I didn't care much for it... :puke:

How boring am I?

But I eat whole tomatoes like apples and grape tomatoes like candy.

n/t

I can't think of anything else.



Oh cookie dough. But I don't think it's that weird. :shrug:

That was a weird and unexpected experience. Let's just say I didn't know what I was ordering. It was a (very) nice restaurant, and I ordered this appetizer with an Italian sounding name which said something like "thinly sliced beef, capers, cheese and vegetables served with Italian bread". When it arrived, I thought there was tomato sauce on the beef. Nope, it was actually *that* red, which I didn't notice until after I took a bite.

It was delicious. My dad and I finished the whole plate, much to the disgust of my mom. No ill effects, either.

When the waitress returned to pick up the plate, I said "be honest, that stuff was totally raw, wasn't it?" She replied "it's very thinly sliced". I said "that's not the point. Did they cook it?" Again I got the thinly sliced remark. So I said "they just sliced it raw and threw it on the plate, right". She finally fessed up, and I told her how much I enjoyed it. She seemed relieved :)

Yek!

On edit: actually I'm not sure they even cook the stuff. This may not qualify.

when I was a kid.

An inn in the mountains of Japan served raw horsemeat dredged in soy sauce. It tasted more of soy sauce than anything else.

when I was a toddler I would lean over the back of the couch and eat the flies from the window sill.

but you dont usually cook those anyway, so that doesnt cound I guess.
