a stale Classic Yellow PEEP dipped in a glass of sparkling red wine at a staff party at a library where I used to work. We were playing, "torture the PEEPs". yes, librarians get VERY strange after hours! all that book dust, you know...other weird things that I have eaten: fried crickets w/dipping sauces; chocolate-covered ants; barbequed worms w & w/o sauce....crawfish "eat d'tail, suck d'head", which some CALL mudbugs (do not taste like chicken), gator in all sorts of ways (does not taste like chicken)....
zaihui (goodbye)

I don't think it's polite to name names.

Boiled tongue with mustard - ate it almost weekly as a kid. I don't think it's weird but everyone else does.

I once ate kangaroo meat at a food show. It was actually pretty good. It tasted like gamey beef

As a child in Ohio, I cooked green grass from the backyard in the oven and ate it. I also fried grapes and "cooked" hot dogs by holding them up to a heater vent. Suddenly I feel inspired to cook something weird!

rattle snake
snails
iguana tail
alligator tail
frog legs
other various wild animals you probably havent heard of from other countries. I use to travel a lot and always tried local cuisine at least once.

I don't know which one is weirdest.

I have experienced many interesting things in Chinese Herbal Formulas:
Centipedes
Earth worms
Scorpions
Turtle Shell
Abalone shells
All kinds of tree bark
Gekos
Deer Antler
Jelly fish
gemstones
pearls.........

I can see you are all anxious to try this type of medicine, right???? Actually most of you would never be given these things.........just happy plant material.

I love Chinese vegetable fungus in black bean sauce with tofu and Chinese broccoli. :eating:

Oh, and I also love chicken feet and beef tendon soup with noodles. :winky:

Most of the "weird" things I eat are traditional Cantonese Chinese dishes. :)

um, I really start showing my roots when I go to dipping my mac and cheese in ketchup.

I've had some really funky juices when on a raw food diet, all sorts of things thrown in--like mix of spinach, onion, beet, broccoli, celery, and avacado all diced up together with garlic in the form of a thick green like juice (or shake even). Really hard to swallow, and tasted like dirt.

Working at a Thai food restaurant the chefs would cook from time to time things more Thai than what was Americanized on the restaurant's menu. I don't think galangal root is weird, but some people do.

Alligator tail in Louisiana when I was a wee child, or so I was told, as maybe it could have been something else?

People have always told me how weird my food is, but after reading this thread, I'm not so sure....
I used to love molasses & cheese or peanut butter & banana sandwiches.
More recently....all things tofu or less common vegetables (gai lan, eggplant, spaghetti squash, chard or kale) usually get looks of warriness or outright disgust <shrug>.
I think I may have eaten headcheese once, but I don't think I ever shared the family favourites: chicken necks & pigs feet.

Fried chicken dipped in jelly sounds delicious! I love sweet and savory. I once put grape jelly on my nachos. LOL

The weirdest thing I ever ate was chocolate covered ants when I was a kid. My parents took us along on a trip through "wine country" and that was one of the "delicacies" being served. It was innovative for its time.... sometime in the mid 70's.
