I had mayonnaise with chips on once in Belgium. Vincent Vega was right, they smother them in that shit (Although he was talking about france). Couldn’t eat them all in the end because the mayonnaise was making me feel ill.

I’m like that with vinegar, if they’re not swimming in it I’m not happy

The right type of chip is lovely with mayonnaise.

When I was working in Holland, it was normal for a chippy to provide mayonnaise with the chips.

It might be taboo but I much prefer it to ketchup.

Going off the above I can pretty much eat anything. But I can’t stand vinegar. Hate it.
And I love mayonnaise on chips.

I was in Bradford & had sausage, egg & chips in a cafe. It came with peas ffs. Oh and gravy!! And some of you are complaining about chips with mayonnaise which is clearly close to perfection?!

Undoubtedly one of the things that I got fed while on trips to China, where it would not have been the 'done thing' to reject the offering- had Shark Lung soup once before even realising it was some kind of meat, I know that much. Very soon after that I stopped asking what it was as I knew I'd feel sick.

Not very proud about it but ate a Minky whale steak in Iceland and a bear steak in Romania.
Many years ago I might add.

Never liked ketchup to be honest, though mixing it with mayo is better than either alone

When I lived in Scotland the local Chinese did ostrich stir fry, basically like a lean beef. Quite nice actually

Probably a bit too common to be weird, but I've always enjoyed snails. Had those BBQ crickets you bu like they're a bag of crisps, letdown. Tried ostrich and crocodile burgers, but I'm not convinced they weren't just liars renaming beef.

'Drunken chicken' was pretty strange. Chilled chicken, drenched in rice wine.

Then there was an eel dish with a crispy skin, the eyes staring at you were really rather disconcerting,

Chicken feet just seem utterly pointless tbh.

Decided to decline the snake's blood vodka.

Tell you what, before all this blew up, I thought I'd try most things about once. Guess the good thing in it all is I am at least reflecting on what I'll eat a little more. Won't stop me eating a lot of things, but a bit of awareness so I make a more informed judgement is maybe not a bad thing.

Scottish junk food was always nice at the grounds up there. Macaroni pie, Scotch pie with melted lard on top, nuclear strength Bovril. They know how to live up there

Oh yeah, thought of some more closer to home.

The artichoke pie with sugar, saffron, and marrow was... interesting.

The pickled pigeon looked like a specimen.

The cheesecake with no cheese, but plenty of mashed potato and lemon juice was actually not bad at all!

Fort William Morrison's on my way up to Skye lived up to every stereotype. A grey, bleak building crammed with macaroni cheese pies, and barely a vegetable in sight!

Near the end of my time at uni the local bakers started installing vending machines all over the place. You could get microwaved macaroni pie with Irn Bru and a cream doughnut for £2!

That was kind of the idea It was a heritage cooking challenge. One of my fondest memories to the grave will be chasing Jay Rayner round a studio, trying to force him to eat a piece of the pie!

Most unusual thing i had was ricefield rat in Vietnam, spatchcocked and barbecued. They advertise it as being a mouse, but it's actually a rat. And very tasty. Quite like rabbit, i guess. I'd have it again.
In the same restaurant we had a chicken stew - you take the lid off the pot and there were his head (complete with cock's comb) and his feet, sticking up out of the gravy.
Oh, and someone we were with on holiday out there another time had a "blood pudding". I'd draw the line there, i think!

I was once made what is apparently a traditional New Years Eve dish in Italy. Basically they got a pigs leg, chucked everything bar the skin, stuff that full of green lentils to make essentially a giant sausage, then boil it. The skin was absolutely rank but the 3 Italians I was dining with were fighting over it. The lentils were nice though.
