1: lamb head; it's cut length wise and boiled; when done, the skin/fat layer is peeled off and the meat is very fine tasting and a delicacy. - sheep don't smile or frown, so the head muscles never move much, so they're very delicate and tender and fine tasting. Overall, i think it tastes much better than chicken. 2: shark meat; the shark is sawed in pieces and buried in the ground. it can be eaten after 1 to 3 months after being cut in 1 inch cubes. when eaten after a 1 month's cure, it's very crunchy and has a little ammonia taste, but there is also a fine "shark" taste to it. After a 3 months' cure, the meat is very tender, but the ammonia smell is strong enough that one has better pinch his nose before putting it in his mouth; even then there is still a fine shark taste to it. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hákarl 3: Skyr, an Icelandic dish consisting of curdled milk; one has to get used to it a little, but it's very good nourishment and tastes quite good. for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyr

I never intend to swallow anything weirder than my pride.

i have the weirdest feeling that this thread will not last lots of pages... people very often tend to be quite conservative about what they eat.

When I was in Hong Kong, I ate pigeon. It was a dish at one of the restaurants in the Hyatt Regency: minced pigeon in butter lettuce.

1- First thing that comes to mind is head cheese. I use to eat it all the time when I was a kid, but now I think it's disgusting. 2- Octopus. Great thread topic!

You asked "what is the weirdest", not "have you ever eaten anything that the majority of Americans would consider weird?" So the thread could go on for a long time with answers like, "I once had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."
But yeah, I've not really stepped outside of what's considered "normal" food. But I enjoy some odd combinations.
A BLT made with peanut butter instead of mayo.
There's an Italian (at least I was told) treat called an Easter salad, it is a stack of (from the bottom up):
Provolone cheese Genoa Salami A circular slice of orange A slice of hard boiled egg A black olive Drizzle with olive oil
You eat it by sliding the stack from the orange up, to one side, and folding it in half so each bite gets a bit of each component.

The coolest thing I have seen was on a cooking/food show. The waiter brought to the table a live cobra. He then gutted the heart in front of him, then served the beating, bloody heart to the customer.
Bottoms up!
I haven't delved into anything too crazy but would gross a lot of people out - tripe, kidneys (veal), liver (duck,chicken), veal tongue. I have no problem eating certain fresh meat and fish/seafood raw.
My favorite food that many people would not consider utilizing in the animal and eating is the marrow found in beef bones. Absolutely divine!

Wasn't "Dried Baby Squids" the first track on Negative Orange's industrial music album?
