I love me organs and can practically stomach most a whole pig except the squeal & its excretion (No TY!).
Century eggs (DH hates them)
Shrimp heads, Crab shells, Fish heads... they are my fav.
Aged beef, Aged Tofu, Aged KimChi, Aged wine, Aged Cheese... yah I like.
Durian... the fruit that even Zimmern could not stomach... one of my fav.
I grew it for the first time last year cause hubby loved it. You might know, we had a record breaking hot,rainless summer and no one got much of anything. Tomatoes died by July, squash did nothing, cukes would not produce, no one got decent beans in our area or peppers but the okra, it just kept on going and going. I think I fixed it everyway possible. Yes, sauteed with a little onion, garlic and tomato was my favorite.
jtur88, I think it was eating it as a child that turned me off to tongue. I just haven't tried it as an adult and probably never will.
When settlers first came to the southern states they thought okra was a weed because it grew so plentifully when and where no other crop would. Once again the native american indians showed them how to use it as a food source.
Lentils (as in vegetarian lentil roast). DH loves it and asks me to make it for him. Scrapple - I was forced to choke it down every winter morning for breakfast as a kid because it would "stick to my ribs". Even smothering it in apple sauce didn't help. Refried Beans Chef Boyardee Ravioli ("Crap in a can") - the is a bi-monthly standby in the school cafeteria where I work. Vegetarian fake meat that comes in a can (specifically Loma Linda) - i.e. faux "salisbury steak" or "chicken in gravy". I've had to ingest this at my in-laws (who are vegetarian). It is high in sodium, and God knows what's in it - and it doesn't taste anything close to what it's supposed to.
Okay - one more: tripe. There was always a jar of this in the refrigerator when I was growing up.

and the way it grew in our yard last year I too might have thought it was a weed.
I will not eat rodents. Had prairie dog as a child; I think of it every time I have tofu and feel gratitude for my life now.
