Strange includes anything that might make the typical steak-and-potatoes-American make a face.
Goat meat is pretty normal for my family.

I ate boiled jellyfish once it was like eating jello
I’m Azorian Portuguese so they are not all that strange to me but the strangest thing from an american pallet:
Limpets They are a small sea snail that is eaten live (they crawl off your plate, slowly, as you eat them)
Had limpets also. Aligator, crawfish, squirrel brains, chicken feet, rattle snake, cow stomach, chicken combs, octopus, opposum, and armordello
Cows brain stew. It is common and being served everywhere in Indonesia
Squid is delicious.
Iguana was gross.
Durian fruit is…... interesting.
My favorite sandwich is hummus, honey, sprouts, swiss cheese, and penut butter/almond butter on pita. Yum!
Its common, btu some people make faces at Tofu. I’d die without it, i’m sure. Yumyumyum.
<- checks wikipedia for durian fruit
Update: I want to try it, but I’m sure i’d want a clothespin for my nose.
Rat soup in Laos but I couldn’t bring myself to eat the tail, very bitter. Also had boiled marmot there, much better than rat. I ate a half a medium sized cockroach by accident – it was in my drink. The drink had ice, I thought it was a chunk of ice, you figure it out.
Oh yes I also had nutra rat and lion
My freshman college roommate was Malaysian and had durian shipped to our room. He also never showered or washed his sheets.
I didn’t get many visitors.
Tripe (cow stomach), eel, squid, kangaroo, alligator, bison, venison… all before I became a vegetarian, obviously.
Cow heart, brain, tripe, intestines (fried on the side of the road by quichauan indians)Does completly raw beef count?Chicken feet and head. Alligator, Antelope. Horse. Naatto (sp?) which is 3 month old fermented soy beans, never again. (In Japan)
Some others people have already mentioned.
Goat is one of my favs especially in curry.
@delirium those are regular foods? well they are in South Africa anyhow :)
@paulc I will never be the same after your post!
