| |  "Donner" kebabs?
Well, I think I would probably draw the line there. (Shawty Cat: the Donner Party was a group of settlers who got lost on their way over the mountains and ended up cannibals in order to survive.) |

Intriguing!
Anyone out there with things you've eaten which seemed "strange" to you even though others find it normal? |

In order to keep this particular thread "on topic" according to the title, I've started a new thread for The Donner Party, feel free to discuss that topic there. 
You can read it but it's been closed for obvious reasons.

How wonderful that there are many adventurous people in this lovely forum. Dear Abby herself has traveled extensively.
She once ate ika sashimi in Hakodate, Japan. This is thinly-sliced raw squid. One knows the squid is fresh when it's still moving as one puts it into one's mouth.
She drank Scrumpy once in Cheddar, England. For those unfamiliar with Scrumpy, it is a fremented beverage made from apples, raisins, and raw meat. Truly vile, but after a pint, Dear Abby didn't care. She woke up the next morning with a single red rose on the pillow beside her. And a citation for disturbing the peace from the local constabulary.
Oh, and Dear Abby once consumed a perfectly horrid thing referred to as a "hot dog."
Abby

Kim chee Yes! (although the aroma stays with you for a full 24 hours. Like it's coming out of your pours!)
Burgoo (sp) never again. I know there are numerous recipes. Just that throw anything in thing......
As a small child my mother fried brains once (cow I think) and I tried it but don't really remember if I liked it or what it tasted like.

Kimmie - One up on ya - from the local Asian grocery store - duck tongue!! (Never had it, never will). Pig uterus (ditto). Straight up - packaged in standard meat packages, all lined up nice and neat in a row. Oh well, I guess there's something to be said for using every part of the animal!!

Unmentionable Cuisine by Calvin W. Schwabe and Creepy Crawly Cuisine : The Gourmet Guide to Edible Insects by Julieta Ramos-Elorduy would make a perfect threesome along with the aforementioned
