I've eaten snake meat when I was a child. My dad tricked my sister and myself into it, telling us "It's chicken soup, eat it!", although it did taste like chicken :-)

Then my favorite breakfast is oatmeal porridge mixed with a bit of milk, salt & pepper, egg yolk, bacon bits, and a splash of scotch. Yumm..!!

Lets see, the weirdest things I've eaten are eel and rabbit. They're both pretty good. Someone also mentioned cow tongue, which I tried and also hated.
I also eat "dry" Ramen noodles (my friends think this is weird). I boil the noodles until 90-95% of the water boils away. Then I add the flavor packet. It tastes great! I've also eaten french fries dipped in ice cream, which is pretty good as well.

When I was in Africa I ate wild boar, fried termites and banana grub, as well as 'bush beef'. Bush beef is any meat that I couldn't identify and the people I was with (all Africans) didn't know the name in English. The only thing I know is that it was not monkey, though that is a delicacy there (I indicated that it was a relilgious taboo for me to eat monkey -- not exactly true, but I sure don't want to eat primates.) I think I ate other wild creatures, though. Funny how you'll eat almost anything when you're really hungry and there's no MacDonalds!

I used to eat bologna and ketchup sandwiches as a child; the neighbor's cat liked those, too. As an adult, I've probably eaten some strange meat in Russia, but didn't know it. Doesn't count, then. So, the strangest thing might be a bite of a pig's ear. It was fried, so it just tasted like fried food.

Miracle Whip is similar to mayonnaise...it is a tad sweeter and has a lower percentage of oil than mayonnaise. Store brands in the USA are marketed as "salad dressing" for the equivalent product.

My ex actually ate the peanut butter and pickle sandwich thing. The first time I saw that, I was a little grossed out. One day I got brave enough to try it and it actually wasn't as horrible as I thought. My current boyfriend eats weird combinations of food. One night he made a boneless chicken breast, peanut butter, mustard, and tomato (possibly other stuff too) sandwich. OMG, I don't think I'll ever try that one! He said peanut butter was a staple at his house and was always at the dinner table. I guess it was used as a condiment on everything. My one somewhat strange thing is cream cheese and olive sandwiches.
