Odd / weird foods you eat, most people haven't heard of

there is nothing odd or weird or unusual about jamaican patties

i would say the oddest thing i eat is peanut butter and honey sandwiches. i also dip potato chips in ketchup which people seem to think is very odd, but it makes perfect sense.

Peanut butter and honey seems pretty standard to me. Very much like PB&J really. At least I always thought so.

I really like honey on toasted bread, but it can't be too lightly toasted. Let it sit for a while so it's chewy but not soft, and it's great. As good for the texture as the taste. Not sure why honey seems to do that better than jelly.

This thread is not really delivering as most of the responses are common. If you really want to see some odd/weird food watch a show called Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel. But only if you're not squeamish.

Here are the top ten least palatble:

Durian is an extremely odoriferous fruit with custard-like flesh.

Klia is a mystery meat that is salted, dried and preserved in its own fat.

Mangrove Worms live off of dead wood pulp – they are eaten raw.

Callos is a casserole made with blood sausage and tripe.

Coconut Grubs is larvae that live in dead palm trees.

Menudo is soup made with tripe and beef hearts.

Goose Intestines on Bean Sprouts is essentially Goose guts.

Nutria in Sauce Piquant is a large semi-aquatic rodent.

Soup No. 5 is a soup made from the back and testicles of a bull.

Haggis is sheep heart, lungs, liver mixed with oatmeal and stuffed in the sheep's stomach bag.

And this list doesn't even have the duck embroyos or stinky tofu that I saw on a recent episodes, really disgusting.

This one isn't going to deliver either, but 30 years ago probably would have.

Calamari. Now practically every restaurant on the planet has it on the menu but 25-30 years ago it was pretty obscure and if you weren't Italian probably had no idea what it was.

We only had it once a year, Christmas Eve when my mother tried to stay traditional and have an all fish/no meat meal and the hi-light would be stuffed calamari in tomato sauce with pasta, yum.

So now my two sisters are the first to get married and neither one marries an italian and now we're at our first xmas eve with these guys. So she serves it up and it looks like everyone is enjoying the calamari when I say "Reg, I'm surprised you like squid". He spits it out and pushes his plate away and everyone has a good laugh.

Next xmas eve my mother breaks tradition for the first time ever we have meat as she makes a standing rib roast.

My biggest seller is city chicken. Think Breaded Pork Chops on a stick. Also Halupkies are my third best seller. Pork, Beef, Rice rolled into balls wrapped in cabbage simmered in a tomatos based sauce.

Ankimo, which is monkfish liver pate, you can get it in some Japanese restaurants.

"The liver is first rubbed with salt, then rinsed with sake. Then its veins are picked out and the liver is rolled into a cylinder and steamed. Ankimo is often served with chili-tinted grated daikon radish, thinly sliced green onions and ponzu sauce. Ankimo is considered one of the Chinmi (delicacies) of Japan."

I'm a big fan of lychees. They are a small fleshy fruit with a thin, tough shell. It's hard to really describe the taste, but it's somewhat like coconut milk.

I've eaten Durian icecream.
It wan't bad, but I'm not going out of my way to find more.

I'm a big fan of sea urchin. In japanese restaurants it's called Uni.

I ate that right on the beach on Jeju Island Korea.
They dive for them and keep 'em alive in tubs waiting for you to order.
Then they kill it and serve it immediately with hot sauce.
