I regularly dine on the air bladders of various unidentified fish, aka 'fish mau', at Chinese restaraunts. Makes a damn tasty soup.
eh?
I think eating seaweed is pretty weird, but then again I'm a typical westerner.
A Chinese buffet restaurant near me has stir-fried pork with jalapeno peppers. It's weird because jalapeno peppers aren't cultivated in China. Perhaps one of the Mexican guys working in the kitchen had the idea.
It's very tasty, if you like jalapeno peppers.
some really strange fish that looked like catfood from taiwan. It tasted really bad @_@ but no it was no real catfood <.<. And i normally like asian/japanese food. Strange
Fermented soybeans, aka natto. Smoked fried seal intestines. Herring eggs boiled on hemlock branches (yum!). Salmonberries preserved in hooligan oil. Blueberries and smoked salmon in rendered deer fat. Boiled black seaweed and salmon roe. Fermented salmon heads. Fisheye soup.
Leverlåda(Swe)/Maksalaatikko(Finn). It's considered normal here, but I bet it still is the weirdest thing I've eaten.
It's basically mainly rice, liver and raisins mixed into a kind of mass. You usually serve it with either "liquid butter" or lingonberry jam. It's the second-worst food we use in Finland to scare foreigners with (very few can handle it, ideally you should have eaten it for as long as you can remember).
>second worst... whats the worst? ._.
My description is inaccurate....in a way.
A majority seem to like memma/mämmi, which is the "worst" food. It's not as revolting as leverlåda - at least not after it's been put in your mouth. Strangely, I've never tasted it. Or maybe not so strangely.
I'll just paste a couple of link here, that should say it all quite well.

Mmmmm, the second picture brings out the important brown tint very well. Don't you feel like grabbing a spoon, dipping it into it, lifting it up and putting it all into your mouth over and over and over again, possibly mixed with milk and sugar so it'll have an even more runny consistency? Mmmmm, I know I sure don't. Also, it smells unlike anything else - except maybe some kind yeast.
But I hear it's good, really.
I had some kind of sashimi in Japan. It was pretty good but it tasted unusual. When I asked the attendant what it was, she said "(something I didn't understand) buta." I did the oink noise/pig-face at her, and she nodded. Since then I've seen references to wild boar sashimi being eaten in Japan. Maybe that's what I had.
Does "sashimi" in this context mean "raw?"
There are certain meats that you mustn't eat raw. Pork is one of them, venison and bear meat are others. There is great danger of parasitic disease.
I think it may have been "chemically cooked" ceviche-like, or something.
Replace eaten with drank, and I had eel's blood once.

Were you horny afterward? It's supposed to do that to people.
I drink seal oil every chance I get. I don't like the kind that Eskimos make because it's really light and flavorless. I like the kind that has been cooked enough during rendering to where it turns brown and has lumps of blubber in it; the smoky flavor is delicious. Seal oil is best eaten by dipping hard smoked salmon into it. Drinking too much of it straight gives you the runs.
I drank deer blood and ate one of its eyes when i went hunting. The blood was my dad's idea, but then when we brought it back to the camp the guy who owns the deer lease said i should eat one of the eyes, he is native american, i thought it was some sort of hunters right ritual or something, however he was just playing a cruel joke on me.

Lol, j00 g0t pwnd.
However, some tribes bury the eyeballs of large mammals that they kill. Others bury the entire head, or other particular organs. I consider that a waste, frankly. But to each their own.
Getting back to other strange foods, I'm going fishing for hooligan this weekend. These critters are also known by the names "eulachon" and "candlefish". They're like herring, but smaller and really oily. I dip them in beer batter and deep fry them whole without cleaning, then eat them. The meat falls right off the bones and all that's left is a skeleton with a head and tail attached. ZOOMJ yum. The DF&G says that some guy netted eight five gallon buckets of hooligan last Saturday at Twentymile River, so my chances for pulling in a bunch look good. I'm gonna try most of the catch for oil, though. Maybe save some as bait.
I can't wait until salmon start running here and I can make some "fresh" stinkheads. And the devilsclub and cow parsnip are sprouting, so it's time to harvest them. Probably a good time to go to the swamp and pick Hudsons Bay tea, too.
You people will eat anything.
Anyone up for some sliced cock breast?

Being a pasty white Australian eating Chicken Feet was pretty bizarre for me, but they tasted great! (Chinatown@Melbourne)
