    Rocky Mountain Oysters!! They're delicious. Where my relatives ranch is there is a bar that has them as their specialty. So wish you could find them where I am.

    Having spent quite a bit of time in Indonesia, a few weird things I've had there would be - horse satay and crispy fried shark skin, jellyfish,

    Balut it is for me. I could not eat the whole thing but got done with about half.

    WHOA! Balut? Balut is hardcore! That totally outranks my answer: chicken knee yakitori.

    ETA: to the OP - i respect not wasting parts of the animal. that said, i am TOTALLY de-sensitized to those things, since I too am Asian.
    Oh but the weirdest thing I've seen in Chinatown is Armadillo. I immediately called my Mother and asked her if she had seen that before and she said NO.

    Funny story about Rocky Mountain Oysters... I worked at a fishing resort, and some guests came up to me smirking like 10 year old boys. They asked me to try one, and I asked what it was. They looked disappointed when I asked if it was anything like our "prairie oysters". Then I grabbed one and took a bite. They were pretty impressed that even after seeing through their trickery, I'd still eat one. Not very tasty, though.

    I think the strangest thing I've ever eaten is cod tongues, in Newfoundland. It's just what it sounds like: fish tongues, deep-fried and breaded. Pretty darn tasty, too!

    Chocolate covered ants and chocolate covered grasshoppers when I was in high school. We would also nibble on dog Milk Bones.
    OMG!!! Can't believe I did that....crazy huh? but I was only 14 at the time. LOL!

    Manda. - I think it's how they're prepared. The bar I like serves them deep fried and have a great batter.

    I too have had rocky mountain oysters. I had a class is high school that castrated and then fried em right up so everyone could try it. Surprisingly, they weren't that bad!

    I also was dared to eat a gummy bear that a friend found under a bench in the hallway in high school. Pretty GROSS...but what can I say? I took my dares seriously back then! Haha...

    Yes! Jellyfish for me, too.
    It's a Korean side dish and I didn't even know what it was until after I ate it... very squeaky and rubbery.

    Well when I was a baby, my mom put me on the grass and I crawled over and ate a piece of dog poop. Does that count? Other than that...I got nothing! .....

    I did eat a very weird veggie this winter that came in my CSA box.....called Romanesco. It was new and strange and weird to me. but very tasty!

    stinkiest: kim chee

    weirdest: probably Opihi, (limpets), a Hawaiian delicacy. They didn't light me up, but they are expensive and so I was honored to have them shared with me.

    my family has Hawaiian and Chinese in it, so we have eaten a lot of stuff that would seem outlandish.

    I gave my husband a taste of dried cuttlefish (yummy to me!) and he spit it out and said "Ugh, Why would you make me put cat food in my mouth!?" LOL
