Pickled rocky mountain oysters.
I do not reccomend them.
I like snails and beef tongue and calf brains and oysters. I do not like crawdads or mussels. I ate a kangaroo burger once, but it really just tasted like a regular burger. I like sushi, so I've had eel, but it's not my favorite (eel that is; sushi is wonderful). I've had crock pot venison heart and it was nasty; tasted like blood. Maybe there's a better way to prepare it? I've also had vension liver and turkey gizzards and elk and moose (elk good, moose not so much-- basically was okay, gamey, until you got to the chunk that tasted like cat pee). My dad is an avid mushroomer, so I've gorged on morels, chantrelles, lobster, coral, honey, etc mushrooms. Fiddlehead ferns are also tasty fried in butter (but then again, what isn't?) My policy is try everything at least once.
I lived in Vanuatu on a mission trip for a summer. The mainstay dish there is called lap-lap. It was a vibrantly colored rice pudding looking dish, only firmer. It tasted like sawdust, but looked beautiful. I never could figure out if it needed salt or sugar. It is ground up taro paste, mixed with coconut milk.
I lived in Japan and gorged myself on many delicious and fantastical dishes to be found there. Octopus is like their chicken; it is cheap, abundant, and in almost every dinner. Tacoyaki was my favorite.
But Japan is also the source of the most disgusting thing I have put into my mouth to date. Natto is a traditional dish of "spoiled beans". The Japanese teenagers that I was with even refused to try it. I took a spoonful. It tasted like sticky vomit. I do not recommend it.
