Some food you might believe it's strange or disgusting eating it:
Boudin noir: made of pig's blood mixed with fat, a filler like bread crumbs, and other flavorings that vary from region to region.
Andouillette:
"This tripe sausage is a small version of French andouille sausage. Definitely not a party pleaser, but some people have grown accustomed to its taste." foodsubs.com
Pork's feet: fried, with bones and skin. Pork ears are good too.
Veal head: that's good too. do not view this site if vegan or too much sensible, that's how you prepare "la tête de veau":http://www.chefsimon.com/tete.htm |

Sea urchin (uni) is my favorite sushi. It is wonderful when you have it fresh, but the weird texture is off-putting to a lot of people. Also, sweet shrimp, which I believe is a raw shrimp, had very bad texture to me the first time I tried it, but now I love it, especially eating the deep fried head and body of the rest of the shrimp.
I tend to think of human beings as huge rubbery test tubes, too, with chemical reactions seething inside |

Tongue can taste quite gross, but sliced thin in a taco it's absolutely delicious.

we used to eat tripe all the time growing up.
we also used to eat tongue and liver and everything from the cow/pig/sheep from our farm pretty much.
also, mountain oysters are a good one - it's just boiled sheep testicles....never actually eaten it myself, but have watched other people do it.
and the best pie i've ever eaten was one bought in a small town in new zealand - it was called a lambs fry pie - so it had liver, heart, kidneys and a few other choice bits of offal....was delicious.....

Honestly, I doubt the squid are particularly concerned with national borders.

Well, maybe this one is from Vermont but I'm pretty sure it's not a squid :)

There's nothing like a Vermont squid pie. But what a hell of a job.

Haha, you just reminded me that I once made a nacho and cheese sandwich in the sandwich maker, the nachos go all soft which isn't really that nice. I had some Kalamari in Crete but it just tasted like fishy rubber with batter on, but I've heard it's meant to be lovely when cooked properly.

Deep fried cheeseburger in Edinburgh is as crazy as I've gotten, I didn't think it was particularly nice even though I was very drunk. Though we did eat dulse(seaweed) as kids on holidays in the West before evrybody started putting it in their salads.

Most food difficulties are texture rather than taste, I think. Can't think of anything I couldn't swallow because of taste, but texture... many examples.
Mushrooms, bananas, pig's ears, haggis, ...

not really, I'm a wimp. The weirdest thing I tried were chapulines (grilled grasshoppers), but it's not that strange. Tastes great though. I never tried eyeball tacos or living mealworms, which are the weirdest things I've seen there.

If you've ever had hot dogs, or weiners, or sausages or whatever, you've eaten worse than what's been described here.

what's that coffee where the beans are eaten by African monkey's before being used to make a beverage? It's supposed to be great coffee. Or did I dream this?

And to further reinforce the Scots suicidal tendencies...
In addition, practically all Scottish fish and chips shops will sell their customers a haggis supper. This consists of a small single portion haggis dipped in batter and deep fried with chips; it provides a hot, filling, high-energy meal for a cold winter's day.
