I had jellyfish while flying in SQ's Biz Class. At first I didn't want to touch it but then my seat neighbor (who was from SIN) persuaded me. I am glad he did, it was actually pretty good and certainly something different.

An Alaskan Native dish - whale blubber (muktuk) mixed with berries and sometimes dried meat, frequently fermented. One version I had wasn't that bad, they used store bought frozen strawberries and added sugar. I lost my cookies when I tried a mouthfull of the 'traditional' version.

Raw sea urchin taken straight out of a fish tank in a sushi restaurant. Have had jellyfish and while it wasn't gross, it was like trying to eat rubber.

Chicken feet with claws and everything. The Chinese love those things-but I will never go for it. It's nasty watching my friend eat it.

Quoting JeffSFO (Reply 4): Raw sea urchin taken straight out of a fish tank in a sushi restaurant
hey Jeff...what's up?
raw sea urchin was one of the first things which I thought of also!!
LMAO those thoughts were exactly what was running through my head. The final verdict i came up with was that it was gum boots with a pinch of wild possum BAM

You don't like Eskimo ice cream? Not too surprising. I haven't had it with muktuk, but I have had the Athabaskan version which uses moose or caribou fat with the berries and sugar. It actually wasn't too bad.
As for the weirdest food, it would have to be muktuk, just straight muktuk. Can't say that I really enjoyed it. My Eskimo friend said that I should have tried it dipped in seal oil, but she doesn't like muktuk anyway.
Lets just say I wouldn't serve it at a formal dinner. Like I said, with strawberries and sugar it wasn't too bad. But the 'real' version they served me next did me in. It had been fermented (including the blueberries they'd blended in) and had no sugar. I was able to eat a couple bites in front of everyone, but it came up about five minutes later. Muktuk itself is bearable, but I haven't tried it in seal oil.

I have consumed the flesh of an endangered species....the Bowhead whale.
Haven't tried the eskimo ice cream though.....I have heard of the "City-fied" version of it which substitutes crisco for the animal fat.
OBAMA-WORST PRESIDENT EVER....Even SKOORB would be better.
As for myself, the "strangest" things would probably be roasted or grilled chicken hearts and some of the seafood I enjoy every now and then, so nothing really weird.
