Another "unofficial poll" -- what is the most unusual thing(s) you've ever eaten?

Pajata--in Rome, the intestines of an unweaned calf, in tomato sauce over

rigatoni. True pajata should still contain its mother's milk. Or so they say. I found it surprisingly (unpleasantly) chewy, and although I usually love all kinds of offal, I wouldn't go out of my way to have it again.

 
Fugu (河豚, 鰒, フグ?) is the Japanese word for pufferfish:

... and is also a Japanese dish prepared from the meat of pufferfish (normally species of Takifugu, Lagocephalus, or Sphoeroides) or porcupinefish of the genus Diodon. Because pufferfish is lethally poisonous if prepared incorrectly, fugu has become one of the most celebrated and notorious dishes in Japanese cuisine.
