Steve Yi has a interesting post about Mysterious things he has eaten. Since I am from India we are used to a lot of food that may be considered as Mysterious. I couldn't figure out why Kimchee made into his list. It's served in all oriental restaurant here and is very main stream.

Anyways I thought I'd post the mysterious things I ate

1. Goat brain: This has to be the most mysterious and the most obnoxious thing I've had. Its actually called Brain-Masala, in which the Goat brain is light-fried and served by sprinkling a lot of spices (called Masala) on it. This is not for the faint-hearted and I have sweared never to even think about it again (but then I keep remembering it :(0) )
   
2. Sutki-Mach: This is much like the Dried Squid Steve writes about, but its dried sea-fish (Bombay-duck). It is so dry it looks like the bark of a tree.
   
3. Hilsha Chips: This again is similar to the shrimp-chips, but is tastier and smells less. These are sold in packets and you need to fry them yourself before eating. Hilsha or Elish is a very popular fish found in the Ganga-delta region in Bangladesh and also in some parts of China.
   
4. Deer-meat: The deer is buried underground for 3-4 days and then dug out, roasted in log-fire and served hot. I ate it long back in a forest.
   
5. Murg-Masallam: The last one is not that mysterious, but its very-very tasty. The inside of a chicken (Murg) is scooped out and cleaned. Then its stuffed with Rice (as in Biriyani) boiled eggs and cooked over charcoal fire. You've got to eat it to believe how tasty it becomes.

And no we do not eat snakes and bull-eyes as depicted in the Indiana Jones movie :-)
