Vivek Oberoi: So sheepish!

Mumbai, April 25 -- Until he turned vegetarian about a year ago, Vivek Oberoi had eaten some really strange stuff. Once, when shooting in Hong Kong, he feasted on frog's legs. "I've also had locust because of a dare. In Bangkok, they make a mean 'cheetiyon ka bhel' (insect mix)," he laughs.

While shooting for Company in Kenya, I dropped in at Carnivore and had crocodile, camel, ostrich and kangaroo meat.

The weirdest was something called Haggis, a Scottish traditional dish made from the stomach of sheep. He had been invited to an old Scottish castle that ran like a hotel and served the dish. Recollecting the experience he says, "I could barely swallow down the stuff. I wished at the moment that I were a vegetarian so I would have been spared of eating such strange things. And my wish came true."
