Writer's Block: Leftovers of leftovers

I'm not sure what would qualify as the most unsual, there are a few contenders.

Rook, as part of a rook and pigeon pie at a medieval reenactment event. I actually helped prepare the pie and gutted and plucked the rook myself, along with a couple of the pigeons.

Spaggetti cooked in squid ink, while on honeymoon in Malta.

Pickled Jellyfish at a Japanese resaurant.


I generally know what I'm eating, usually because I'm the one doing the cooking :) I am willing to give most things a fair chance, so provided it tastes okay I'd probably be okay with eating it. If it turned out to be something that I didn't think should be considered food my reaction would be to be annoyed, rather than sick.

I've never eaten rook! May I ask what it's like?

For some reason game birds taste a lot better if you've prepared them yourself.

By the time it was cooked with the pigeon it all looked the same and I couldn't tell the difference between the two. So I would say very similar to pigeon.

I was more hassle to prepare than the pigeon though, harder to pluck and less meat when it was finally done.
