Watching Bizarre Foods the other night got me thinking if anyone else out there had a taste for the abnormal? I am constantly chided for the bizarre ingredients and dishes that find their way to my table. Most people turn up their noses to the different, but what about you guys? What's the weirdest thing you have cooked and/or tasted that "wasn't all that bad"?
Mine:
Sweet breads
Squirrel brains
Debris (stew made from lungs, spleen, kidneys, etc. of a pig)

This weekend. Took Cooked hot dog, dipped in funnel cake batter, fried, placed on bun as usual, then topped with powdered sugar.
My friend actually topped his with mustard and ketchup as well.
Fried reeses pb cups the same way.
We were mixing and matching everything while the parade ran, needless to say, one hell of a belly-ache,

What is lutefisk? Last year I travelled to Africa and tried something called "scullplieker"
Apparently this is a sheep's stomach stuffed with fat and liver...

Tongue - love it
Sweetbreads - Very good if cooked right
Liver - Love it
Tripe - Kind of spongy for my taste
Bone Marrow = Nature's butter
Rocky Mt. Oysters - Always wanted to try it
Rattlesnake - Taste like chicken
Cactus - bitter but the right one is eaten

Hog Maws
Chicken Foot Stew

a cup filled filled with dishwasher grime that flipped right side up during the cycle. I drank that stuff for a nominal fee. Wasn't very good.

Tuna Collars-best part of the fish
Octopus-have had it fresh grilled and in ceviche, not really a fan
Prickly Pear-we have a ton of fruit bearing cactus on my ranch, mom finally decided to do something with them so she turned it into a jam. Pretty good on biskets.
Tripe has to be fresh and cooked properly to taste good. In menudo is the most common way I've eaten it.
Rocky Mt. Oysters are good if they are fresh and are prepared well. And by fresh, I mean like right off the "vine", so to speak.
I'm not a fan of cactus. It's something that a lot of people eat out in West Texas with breakfast, I find it to be a little too slimey for me. Much more so than stewed okra.
Hogshead Cheese is great.

Not personally, but my dad keeps catching raccoons on his property & giving them to some guys that work him. Apparently it is a delicacy, they even ate one for Thanksgiving in lieu of a turkey. 
So sad, they are too cute. I asked to save the last one as a pet but I was scared it would attack me. Poor things.

What is lutefisk?
per wikipedia
Lutefisk (lutfisk) is a traditional dish of the Nordic countries made from stockfish (air-dried whitefish) or dried/salted whitefish (klippfisk) and soda lye (lut). Its name literally means "lye fish", because it is made with caustic soda or potash lye
Andrew Zimmerman actually ate Lutefisk on one of his Bizarre Foods episodes in my wife's hometown in Minnesota

I've had them several times and if cooked right and the musk glands are removed they aren't too bad. Tastes just like oppossum.

From a good source, I heard oppossum taste stringy and greasy... I think I've had this at some "fine" oriental buffet establishments...

I have eaten a range of strange foreign foods, but lutefisk is the only one I had trouble with due to the overpowering smell. Damn. wouldn't go back. Tried it. Happy.
