I like to try different foods. Here is some of what I tried, most of it I wouldn't consider weird but definitely not typical in North America:
Piglet
Octopus
Chicken hearts, gizzards,
Pig Feet, nose, ears, tripe
Cow tongue
Escargot
Frog legs
Lamprey eel
Horse steak (softer and more tasty than beef. Be ready to have a boost of energy after that!)
Ostrich steak (not as tasty as beef but even softer than horse)
Steak tartare (raw grounded horse meet mixed with eggs and all kind of spices)
and the best for last:
Chicken with blood rice: while killing a chicken, the blood is saved and used to cook the chicken with rice.
Coagulated pig blood: in small villages in Europe, they still have traditional festivities where they kill a pig the traditional way. They bring it out, hold it on the floor, tie it and stab it in the heart. The blood is then saved in a container, some spices are added. Some blood is then dumped in a big pot of boiling water with vinegar. The blood starts then to coagulate and forms a spongy texture piece.

Bon appetit.
