Thing with the weirdest flavor, or flavor of the weirdest thing?
Thing with the weirdest flavor: Durian. Fucking gross. Ate it by accident (was in a dish I ordered). It tasted exactly like papaya or mango soaked in mop bucket water for 2 days.
Flavor of the weirdest thing: Probably Escargot. That was garlic and snail flavored.
Escargot is french for snail. And "persillade", which is basically parsley and garlic sauce is the most common thing they're served with. So that makes perfect sense why that tasted like that.
Never had a durian before and I'm not sure I wanna try after that description. Especially since I'm not a huge fan of papayas or mangoes.
I tried durian pancakes at an Asian market once, and didn't see what all the fuss was about. It tasted kinda coconut-y and onion-y, but not enough to be a big deal.
Ten minutes later I burped and realised I had made a terrible mistaking eating those things.
