In my case it’s bison (for Europeans its rather rare), swan, kangaroo, crocodile, snake and springbok.

Various sheep organs, the heart liver and such at a sheik's house in Ar Ramadi while on personal protection detail for me regimental commander in 2003. They offered us sheep's brains but were kind enough to make it clear we weren't expected to eat it.

Things you have actually eaten... not stuff you ate in that one DnD Campagin when you were stuck in the desert without a cleric for hundreds of miles and had to drink muddy water out of a giant scorpion's footprint. :P

Jellyfish. In parts of China they cut them into little stripes, fry them and put some ridiculously spicy seasoning on it. That was actually what made it difficult to eat.

I once downed a jug full of JD and Coke which had dog hairs in it.

Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen. A jug full!

Is that because cannibalism is illegal?

As for the strangest things I have eaten good question I have eaten a lot of strange things over the years.

While not the only strange thing a strange thing I have eaten is Abalone(sp?).

I thought it was weird. I've eaten elk, bison, crocodile, ostrich, rattlesnake, wild boar, etc.

Compared to all that, I figured rodent would be way out there. I've eaten ants. Is that weird?

Well.. lets leave it at a form of cannibalism.

Nearly two years ago I drank a double-deuce of Icehouse. Doesn't sound too weird to you huh? Well, it will be once I say...after I finished it, I realized that it was used as an ashtray. It had like 6 or 7 cigarette butts in it. I almost threw up. I brushed my teeth for nearly an hour and actually tried to vomit it back up but to of no avail. A valuable lesson was learned that night and hopefully this very true story will keep everyone else's eyes open.

Pekingese and Chihuahuas aren't real dogs. Any animal that you can throw 40 yards for a touchdown isn't a dog. It may be cute, but it's not a dog.

Actually, they make them out of badgers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOxR7rTYuSI) and llamas (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4746030835711939015&ei=0aoNSYqvG5mSrAKwqKnbBg&q=llama+song&hl=en).

Hmm... squid guts, raw poisonous blow fish, sea urchin, whale, raw horse (Yummy, actually), and a whole host of other stuff that I have forgotten.

Japan's a great place to go for the weird food.

Now for stuff that I regularly eat and like that no one else will touch, I give you peanut butter pickles as well as peperoni pizza pie... Ala mode.

You haven't figured it out? If you have a girlfriend, please offer her my commiserations.
[I'm making the lazy assumption that you are a straight male.]

Back to the OP...
For me, it's a tie between whale and raw ostrich.

A very lazy assumption.

However, I feel like a dickhead for not picking up on that sooner.

At the moment I am not in that frame of mind.

I'll divide this into two categories, Food and Non-Food. Non-Food will come first.
Weirdest Non-Food I've Eaten
I ate some wax once. It was on the outside of a ball of edam, and I figured, "Hey, cheese." It wasn't cheese. The contents were cheese, but the rind was definitely not cheese.
Runner Up
Wood chips. For the record, I did not mistakenly think they were potato chips; I ate them knowing full well they were just bits of wood.

Weirdest Food I've Eaten
A Habanero pepper, coated in Cayenne pepper powder. I cried, I spat, I nearly vomited. That was the last time I let someone talk me into eating something stupid until three weeks later when I ate the wood chips.
It's something of a wonder that I have any intestine left at this point.
Runner Up
Bull's balls. I don't want to talk about this anymore, so let's just move along.

Roasted chicken beaks.

I've eaten all manner of stuff from rattlesnake to chocolate ants to armadillo to salted, pickled squid guts to straight habaneros to natto kim chee chige. But the roasted chicken beaks is the hands down winner.

Probably Hamburger stew.

Bison is not that weird. I've got a freezer full of ground bison. Makes really good hamburgers, leaner than beef. The same goes for most animals you can go get a tag for and shoot (deer, elk, moose, etc...). It's all kinda normal here.

I don't think I've eaten anything that weird at all. I live in a fairly conservative, meat and potatoes area of Canada so sometimes things like calamari or sushi can be considered different but I was always raised on a fairly international diet so it always seemed normal to me.

But if I had to go out on a limb it would be raw octopus or dirt.

iguana ribs and jellyfish stew. thats for actual food, though i dont consider them weird, just the most exotic.

for other stuff, a small stone, tiny plastic gun, paper, leaves off a bush. thats about all i can remember.

I tend to eat lots of weird things. My friends know that I'll eat most bugs if dared. I ate a crayon last night...playdough.

As for weird actual foods, I think that cows are pretty strange, as are chickens (really...think about them.)

Exotic foods, I really liked whatever it was that I ate at an Ethiopian place...had a fish eyeball once...bulls balls...almost had placenta once, but the other people ate it all (CT people...anyone remember Dee Snider Radio by any chance?)

Mountain goat.


It tasted bad enough, but it tastes worse after the guy who found it shot it with a grenade launcher because of little pieces of metal and other crap they put in grenades.




After that, we just stuck to the army rations.
