I recently was reminded that I used to love eating chicken feet (when we would go out for Authentic Chinese food) as a child and now I can hardly look at them. I guess one weird food may not be weird to another.
 
I LOVE chicken feet. Positively, the best. But then I'm Chinese, so I guess thats not a strange thing.

Theres that show on travel channel, with the bald man who goes around eating "strange" things? It was odd where a lot of the Chinese foods he ate were just normal to me.

But I'd have to say the strangest thing I've ever eaten was...I guess crab innards, mostly because I don't like them rather then it being weird or strange.
 
hmmm, the weirdest thing I've eaten....
I'd have to say my words ;)
 
I don't find any food weird. There are foods I do not find appealing, but I would not call them weird. I have never tried pacanis' words though so those might be kind of weird.
 
Wierdes thing? That's easy, earthworms baked in a burning milk carton. That was also the most digusting flavor I've had in my 52 years of existance.

Hey, I was a kid and someone told me they ate them in Africa. I figured if they were good enough for people in Africa, they were good enough for me, and I didn't have a stove and don't think my parents would have let me cook them anyways. They were smarter than me back then.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Wierd is in the taste of the beholder and changes over time. A few years back, I was told by a butcher that I was the only non asian that ever bought squid from him. Now it is the fastest growing restaurant item. I buy seafood at a chinese food market as it is the freshest available in my area. The ducks I buy there come with the head and feet. I throw them away, but cannot think of a reason why I would not like the taste of feet. I eat pigs feet. I would not eat the heads, but use heads of fish and shellfish in fish stock.
 
I was served a soft-shell crab sandwich one time and they forgot to remove the sand sacks - I guess it doesn't really qualify because I spit it out. BUT, while it was in my mouth it was DISGUSTING!
 
Pacanis, the best answer. Wish I had thought of that one.
Weirdest? I almost didn't open this post. I was afraid it would be like Zimmerman's Bizarre Foods show. Sometimes I just can't take it. I'm not all that daring, no matter how many spices you bury something in.
 
Picanis wins! LOL. I watch Zimmerman's Bizarre Foods as well, mostly out of fasination at what that man is willing to put in his mouth! I can't count the number of times I have to look away.
Earthworms???? OMG I am going to hurl!!!! I can't stand anything worm or snake like at all. I keep thinking I would like to try rattle snake, but can't get past the fact that it is a snake...
