Did you actually EAT the balut, TC? The first question that pops into mind is "why"? The second is how you actually got it down. I know that the chick's bones are jelly by the time they ferment to that extent, but... damn.
My strange thing is Sambal Rat, but it's not that strange. Live octopus, but it's not that strange. Fermented mare's milk, but it's a beverage, not a meal. Snake but who hasn't? I'm just too sheltered.

It reminds me of the story about the cannibal who 'passed' his friend in the jungle.

Imagine a world without beer...Ya don't have to, It's called Utah and it sucks.
Why is it that the groups that fight tooth and nail for equal rights always want special treatment after they get it?
Everyone has the right to be made fun of!
Had some taco's in San Felipe that had some "Mystery" meat in them.
Alligator, Emu, rattle snake at a wild game feed at Lake Irvine a couple years ago.

Larry, I'm with you. I think I'm a sort of adventurous eater but not after reading some of these posts!
However, in the spirit of things, I'll add my group to the list. Prefaced with this: when I travel anywhere, I do my best to eat the regional cuisine.
Fried Green Tomatoes (Charleston, SC) - awesome, actually!
Alligator (Florida) - don't need to repeat that one
Green Chili (my house prepared by my teammate, Alfred, from Colorado) - repeat every chance I get but so far his was the best
Elk (Angel Fire, NM) - where can I get this daily?? Yummy
Canned peaches, Mango, Nutella, ice cubes, a splash of cold milk, honey, olive oil, etc etc. (somewhere in Illinois) (that last one was from Dragon's description of a recipe I think...I hope?)

Fried grasshoppers aren't bad -- but I don't eat guts. I draw the line at "guts". I know that sausage has intestine around it and that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about entrails - fish guts, pig guts, cow guts. Guts are in my No-Fly Zone.
