In Czech you there's "Cerna Polivka" [Black Soup](It's consists of Pig's Blood other parts of it). It's also amazing...

That's about all I can think of now...

A long, long time ago I had resolved to NEVER, EVER eat ANYTHING that ANY culture considered a "delicacy". Yuck!

Pigs tongue is quite good you should try it. It's like pork only much smoother. The black soup is great as well I eat that every time I go back. Both of these were well cooked it's not raw...
 
i shot a squirrel with a 12 guage and skinned it and my grandma cooked up its hind legs and I ate them...tasted just like the chicken wings I was eating along with it.

Same here. Love boiled squid with some hot sauce. Octopus is great too.

It has become a Christmas tradition for my mom to get me canned squid and canned octopus every year in my stocking.
 
Rat
Don't know the name, but it's a chicken fetus in the egg, boiled
Tomato soup (seriously, it was really weird)

That's about it...

Chocolate covered grasshoppers (nasty) & ants (not bad... tasted like honey)

I've had both of those. I used to eat ants in elementary school. After a while nobody wanted to dare me to do anything because I never even hesitated to do such things.
 
I once eat (actually swallowed) a cockroach becuase I lost a stupid bet. :disgust:

I still retch when I think about it (what was I thinking????)

I was drunk at the time, maybe that helped.

Ugh... why? Why would anybody harvest that? It's not like they are particularly easy to harvest. Do they taste good? It sounds like something somebody just thought "I'm an unoriginal hack without an eye for unique dishes. I guess I'll just go and grab the most disgusting thing I can imagine that nobody eats so people will finally aknowledge me!". Or something.
 
this isn't very weird because a lot of people eat seafood.

but on our honeymoon in the Mayan Riviera, one of the on-resort restaurants was a seafood place. very nice, very fancy.

i ordered the fish. i love fish! but this one looked like it jumped right into the pan from the ocean. everything was still intact - eyes, skin, tail & fins. it was pretty funky. it was great though, and i picked that sucker to the bone and then when no one was looking, i picked it up and did a little puppet show with it for my wife 🙂

oh, also - the crab soup had a full crab in every bowl. pretty neat!
 
Crickets/ Hardshelled beetles/ worms/ grubs etc. Don't try ladybugs though, they are TERRIBLE! They have some sort of weird chemical in them that is extremely bitter. It gave me a bad aftertaste in my mouth for the rest of the day... 🙁
 
Squid rocks, it's popular (and with good reason) but the tentacles, which are the tastiest part, can gross people out 😀 I've also eaten shark, which I didn't particularly care for.
 
Rabbit, I guess. On the Southern coast of Crete this other American and I were working for a farmer a few clicks down from Arvi. He let us stay in his cave, which he said he and his family had lived in while he built his house. It had straw on the floor.

Anyway, at Easter, he left a skinned rabbit by the cave for us to cook and "enjoy". Neither of us ate the head, but my friend Terry ate the feet because, as he put it, he didn't want to be like a 12 year old girl. I, otoh, decided to embrace my feminine side and passed.

Btw, each morning for breakfast we had a big bowl of goat's milk still warm from the goat mixed with sugar and yesterday's stale bread. It was awesome, doubly so because there are no cows on Crete so dairy wasn't happening otherwise.
