If I weren't a vegetarian I would have had all SORTS of weird stuff to try in Iceland...
My husband has routinely eaten sheeps head. Yes, the decapitated head of a sheep. Complete with brains..and teeth. *barf*
Also, blood pudding...ugh. Ram's testicles...pickled, mind you. Rotten shark (literally put in a hole in the ground to ferment for 3 or 4 months, then eaten).
Actually...come to think of it, I'm glad I'm vegetarian. It was a good excuse to not be able to eat any of that stuff...
Blech.

Oh man! That's some rough times. Did she soak the kidneys in vinegar first? One of my english friends told me you're supposed to do that to get the pee out.
ETA: I remember now that I ate mothballs once when I was small. To this day I can not stomach lemon heads...Also, we used to make fish head soup and my brother would pay me quarters to eat the eyes. We would also forage on the beach a lot and eat raw limpets and barnacles. I'm probably loaded with parasites, lol. Geoducks too, but they were cooked.

When I was growing up, my Czech parents really enjoyed eastern European dpression era treats. I like them fine until I realized what I was eating. So I have eaten pig blood soup (almost coal black with a weird metallic taste), head cheese (served with horseradish sauce), tripe soup (chewy, but a delicious soup--I mean really good, if you just skip the actual tripe-which is reminiscent of rubber bands),and, of course an assortment of poultry organs.
I like to eat raw beef- Korean style, with fresh garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil. Delicious. One of my favorite things, in fact.

I think M&M's Mommy won this contest...lol Although I would say anyone who tries Mountain Oysters a close second...lol
I've never really eaten anything out of the ordinary. I would probably try it as long as it's healthy. I've just never been in a situation to try anything weird. Just keep the Mountain Oysters away from me...lol
