Not a recipe, but durian. I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago fresh in Malaysia, and though the smell was enticing, the taste was not.
Haggis. Really wasn’t keen on it when I first heard about it. Went to Scotland and tried it, and enjoyed it. Would not eat more than one portion, it is incredibly rich.
Balut. Haven’t not gone to the Philippines yet, but this is something I’m not sure I’m game to try.
Sauerkraut. I never liked anything pickled when I was younger, and when I tried it, I didn’t like it. I think it was probably because it was from a jar. I really like it now.
Edit: How could I forget this one. So I worked in the West Wimmera region for a while, and then I was told about this: The florrie. It is uniquely Horsham, Victoria. My colleague is not good as describing things so it sounded worse than it is.
Had to look that up. It actually just looks like kebab meat.
Which triggers another food item memory: the HSP. It’s called this in Victoria, but other things in other states. I’ve not had one of these yet either.
I have asked my partner to share one with me in case I don’t like it, but he doesn’t want one unless he’s been drinking. Apparently it is a late night sort of food, which might be the equivalent to KFC and Macca’s at 3AM.
I know. What I don’t know is where that came from. I can’t read much of Reddit after they now try to force you to download their app, but an basic internet search came up with things like Atomic Bomb, AfterBirth, ABortion. ☠️

Florrie sounds surprisingly good. Like Steak-umms in the US.
Steak-umms are absolutely shit tier food but so damn good for some reason.

That looks and sounds really good.

Lol at Wikipedia saying the SA version is called an “AB”.

It is definitely “abortion” and afaik came from one specific shop (Blue and White Cafe maybe) in North Adelaide.
Oh gods. Really, can SA have an even worse reputation than it already does. 😂😭
