Looks like saltwater croc to me.

I have never been to Europe, but I have been to Mexico where my wife found out about sanitation there (I was able to avoid Montezuma's revenge).

As for the mystery can--that does look like a baby crock or gator!

Went to fisherman harbour this morning where they sell fish right from the sea and couldnt resist to this baby:

My brother in law said when he was growing up and his dad would shoot a groundhog, they'd eat it, younger ones fried like chicken and older ones stewed with noodles.
Kinda gives you another feeling about groundhog's day, doesn't it? Maybe that's how the tradition started, groundhog HUNTING on 2/1 when they'd be likely to wake up????

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
 

How about blood & Tongue ( I'm not talking about caps either (they suck too)).. I used to have the growing up on buttered bread.. I had it on brochen in gemany (all the vendors had it). I can get it in Wisconsin, but not here... wth? Oh I can can get some off brand crapped out blood bologna down (they use cloves in it some reason) @ ft. polk, but it sucks compared to the good stuff. :^)

Shopgirl, I only eat mangoes when they are green, and I've never gotten 'fever' from it, lol :)

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
 

Recently tried loquats for the first time. I know, it's not really a weird food, but I just thought I'd bump the thread. :)

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
 

Loquats...kinda like apricots huh? In FL , March '06, I took a pic of loquat tree & tasted some of the fruit - not knowing what it was. I posted a pic & someone identified it. Brought a few fruits home & planted seed. Now it's 6 feet high & I may get fruits this year (?). I also grafted a diff variety of fruiting age to it & it's growing well. Hoping that will also fruit this year.

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
 

Patty , were the loquats hardy without protection in Wisconsin or are you growing it in a pot? I have many seedlings from a trade here last year but cant use them all if they're not hardy...

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
 

It's in a big pot Bob, & grew fast. Not hardy for our winters. It also doesn't go dormant for winter but grows slower. It's still in sunroom- till sometime in May - if it ever warms up here. Was 29* this morning.

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
 

Thanks Patty, I thought they were only good to zone 7 but may try a few outside anyway and keep a couple in pots. The way its going I could almost risk planting everything out now. It's only been getting to the mid to upper 40's for the most part with the odd 39 or 40* low over the past few weeks. Highs are 60's to 70 or so. If the ten day forecast looks good then I'll start planting May 1st.
