What's the weirdest food you've eaten?

I'm an open-minded guy. I like lots of types of food, and it is very rare I won't try something. So I was thinking about all the foods I've eaten and trying to pin down what the weirdest one was.

I have to say it's Gored Gored, an Ethiopian dish which I love a lot. It's meat cubes in a spicy sauce, eaten by grabbing with a sort of sourdough tortilla. Why is it weird? Because the meat is raw. Raw fish, no big. Raw beef, you might die. I still love it though.

What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
 
Poi. I have no idea what it's made of and I don't care -- I'm not touching the stuff EVER again.
 
Pig's tongue and ears...at a Polish friend's house.

Wasn't bad.

I've had snake, too. That was pretty decent.

made from Taro Root!

the weridest thing for me...
duck blood soup
 
Raw eel. Yes, raw eel. It was salty and squidgy and horrible. Needed a gallon of water to get rid of the taste. My Gran is Polish and my relatives from that side bring it over.

I can confirm that it's gross.
 
A friend told me that it is a tradition in his family's culture (Hawaii-based Pacific Islander) to give the eye of a freshly-caught fish to someone to eat, as a sign of respect. Now that's weird.

That is weird.
 
Nothing to bad, but I'd have to say squid is one of the weirdest things I've had.

But damn good IMO.

Guess I should have said calamari, a.k.a. fried squid, I'd never eat raw squid.
 
I had squid when I went to Hong Kong in some hole in the wall Japanese restaunt. It didn't seem cooked and the tentacles were still on it. It was probably the worst food I've eaten in my entire life, and that restraunt left an extremely bad impression of Japanese food on me. My lemonade tasted like soda water with a hint of lemon squirted in for good fun, and my uncle and 2 cousins each ordered something different that I did and I tried theirs, still nasty. One of them (I can't remember which) ordered something with chicken in it, but they still managed to screw that up. Needless to say we walked across the street to McDonalds for a "real" meal. 😀

edit: The reason I had ordered the squid was because my cousin had fried squid at some Chinese place a few days before which was damn good.

Raw squid and fried squid are two entirely different things. I personally don't like raw squid, though raw octopus is fairly good. And yes, it will still have the suckers attached.

The Japanese have a talent for getting the full spectrum of anything they do: art, sexuality, food, etc. It ranges from absolutely horrid (what you had) to mind-blowingly good. (There's a reason certain sushi costs $50 a piece)
 
Balut duck eggs. They are acutally quite tasty with pepper, salt, and some fresh basil leaves. Try the thousand year old eggs, those are quite good too. It has been featured on fear factor,
