What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever eaten?

In Episode 5 of The Open Tabs Podcast, Joe and Billy dive into some of the strangest foods people eat around the world. From maggot cheese in Italy to duck embryo in the Philippines, the conversation gets hilarious, fascinating, and occasionally a little gross.

Billy shares his experiences trying bizarre foods while traveling—including balut, iguana, and insect delicacies—while Joe taste-tests a peanut butter & mayonnaise sandwich live on the show.

Then things get even stranger with a Real or Fake food game featuring things like mustard ice cream, ranch ice cream, and garlic soda.

Would you try any of these?
