    I'm not an adventerous eater...at all. The strangest thing was probably when I tasted calamari - which isn't really that strange!

    squid, all of it & quails eggs are a standard part of our diet at home. chicken feet, deep fried a personal fav of mine.

    My husband is from thailand so we eat all sorts of weird stuff. My mother in law makes an interesting small frog soup, whole small frogs cooked in a broth, their little bodies bloat up & they float on top of the soup. I wasn't keen, my son who was 2 at the time quite liked it though. We were invited to a neighbours place one time, they make silk & as a special honour of our visit took the silk worms & fried them up in hot oil or us.

    Other normal foods is buying insect on sticks from roadside vendor when on car trips. I have tried the grasshopper but the specially bred cockroaches were a step too far for me.

    Hmm I'm a pretty adventurous eater so there are things I've had that I wouldn't consider strange, but most probably would...

    I've had foie gras, beef tartare, roasted bone marrow, eel, squid, sea urchin, rocky mountain oysters (yep, bulls' balls)...OH! When I was 16 I went on a theatre trip to NYC with a bunch of friends and we tried chocolate covered grasshoppers in Chinatown. They were crunchy.

    Habu (member of the cobra family; indigenous to Okinawa)
    Cat
    Dog
    Monkey
    Alligator
    Sea Urchin
    Goat
    Bear
    Rattlesnake
    Crickets
    Squirrel
    Sea Snails
    Moose
    Elk
    I could go on and on. I'll try anything. Anytime I pick up a menu and see something I've never had; that's what I order. I've had the good fortune to travel the world and found that one culture's pets are another cultures sustenance.

    I'd have to say it was the congealed pig blood. When I was travelling in China we went to a "fish head hot pot" restaurant. You basically cook at your own table. It starts with broth placed into a basin set into the middle of the table (which is heated). To that they add large fish heads. Then you select other items off the menu. The various varieties of fungus were all tasty, as were the fish heads themselves. (Though I wasn't quite brave enough to try the eyes.) But I did not like the cubes of congealed blood.
