I know it's not technically aibu.

Mine has to be a deep fried mars bar, so sickly but so nice.

In Spain with my parents when I was young, found a naice hotel restaurant with a fixed menu. As a between course palate cleansing thing they brought out some pink sorbet in a little silver bowl.

Yummy, thought I.

Except it was thyme sorbet.

I STILL remember the vileness and it was 15 years ago!

Some weird ones...
Beaver - dried and cured, served with a pineapple salsa. Weird and nasty.
Dried fish - like fish-flavoured, thinly sliced doormat. Inedible.
Puffin - supposedly smoked, but effectively a small slab of raw meat. The taste was fine, but I couldn't get past the wobbling and oozing.
Minkie whale - very conflicted about eating it, but it was delicious.

But the weirdest...
Fermented shark - it's buried in sand for 3-6 months to draw out its toxins, and is so incredibly stinky, it's served in a sealed jar. Didn't taste quite as bad as it smelled. Never. Again.

Goat, horse and frog's legs are pretty mainstream, non?

I've had live ants. And seal meat.
