really REALLY strong licorice
chocolate with a very high cocoa content (there's a bar of chocolate with a 99% cocoa content, which I found enjoyable, but I guess most people might find it too bitter)
Haggis
I agree with OP on the black pudding (Irish housemate at uni introduced it to me), as well as rabbit, spinach and mushrooms :p

And you absolutely MUST try heart, it's the best offal out there in my opinion. It's cheap, lean, very meaty (tastes like the animal from which it came, but stronger, and with a slightly irony taste added in), and versatile.

Gizzards
Liver
Chicken Feet
Sea Cucumber
Rabbit
Silkie (black) chicken
Goat
Yak
Iguana
Alligator
Blood pudding (black sausage)
Dinuguan (Filipino blood soup)
Octopus and squid

I've never eaten raccoon, squirrel, skunk, opossum, woodchuck, geoduck, Rocky Mountain oysters or insects like grasshoppers (chapulines).

I like brussle sprouts too. And liver and pickled eggs. And I love chicken livers and gizzards. Where I come from its common to put giblets in your stuffing.

Halfmadgenius: I remember watching it made like that when I was a little kid. (When I read your post I thought at first you said giblets in your stocking)

I like pickled eggs also,I've made them before and you can turn them pretty colors by adding beet juice or turmeric to the brine.picked okra,green beans are all good.Once I made a batch of homemade pickles and added lots of dill from the garden.When I was admiring my handiwork I noticed a really big grasshopper had also got pickled,I have no idea how he got in there except maybe he was in the dill.I set that jar aside so I didn't accidentally gift it to someone.But it came up missing,I guess my ex gave it away.I hoped they didn't toss it because of the grasshopper.I was going to try him out and see what pickled grasshopper tasted like.

kæstur hákarl. A traditional Icelandic delicacy of rotting shark. I like how it makes my mouth tingle. Workmates have pretty much told me never to bring it again.

Refrained Beans

^ I love those, but have had to give up the tortillas I used to put them in. Could eat one after the other, very bad for binging.

Real blood sausage. Its minced meat, minced rice and herbs that is soaked in blood, put into a sausage (the real one is the actual animal intestine) and cooked in a clay oven or BBQ.

I've served it to people who praise it to high heaven then hate me weeks later when in reminiscence they ask me what that was...which always follows 'what is it made of'?

Meh, you gobbled it, loved it and even had seconds and thirds... what it was don't matter if it tastes good and is cooked safely

seaweed. pb mixed with chocolate. beer ice cream. I would eat roast beef and gravy-flavored ice cream if it were available, as well as spaghetti and meatball parmesan ice cream. dried squid jerky. sauerkraut cooked in dark beer, cheddar cheese and Italian sausage.

^ those are intriguing, auntblabby.
