I could time limit it. The strangest thing I've eaten in the last week would probably be a hot pot that contained both chicken feet and sea cucumber/sea slug. Though maybe it would be the dessert degustation that had white bean paste, barley, and rose water sugar floss. (It also had freeze dried ice cream but that isn't SO weird.) Or maybe it would be the "three flavor crispy fish" snack that had dried glass fish, sugar, chilis, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass? It's hard to say. That's just in the last week. Or I could say which of other peoples's lists I *haven't* eaten. I have not eaten Mahesh's ex-girlfriend as far as I know. Don't know what a mopane worm is so I probably haven't eaten it, though I've eaten other grubs and caterpillars. All the others I've eaten and for the most part I've enjoyed. Salmiak is pretty odd but essential to good dutch salty liquorice! Other odd things from my culinary adventures, cod milt [sperm] (shirako), duck testicles, coxcomb, a whole lamb's head including tongue, brains, and eyeballs. Haven't had casu marzu yet but it's on the list. Also haven't had ortolan but have no real desire.
