i'll try just about anything if it's offered but i've never eaten anything too freaky. probably the weirdest things i remember eating are

1. these filipino 'lollies' i don't know what they were called, they were like little pink discs and they tasted like epic fail. i nearly gagged.
2. a gelatinous desert my friend's mum makes. it looks really gross, but it tastes really nice esp. with custard. again, no idea of the name.

has a very bland taste to it actually, i can never tell cos it always seems to absorb the flavours of the dish it's cooked with! the consistency is really soft, like jelly except a bit more chewy

Okay.. swallows nest aint weird.. it's so freaking healthy
I've eaten a lot of "weird" stuff..

Pigs blood
Crocodile broth
Pidgeons are pretty popular
Chicken feet
Soup boiled from cicada shells and other wood/plant matter
Fish eyeballs

I dont know.. Don't pay much attention as I find those pretty normal..

There's only been one food that has freaked me out.
It's still Balut.

Balut is a fully developed duck fetus.... I reckon it's about to hatch from the egg when they cook it..

I hate ox tongue.. it's too chewy and it stinks like shit.. actually it reminds me of camel breath..

Speaking of weird... I thought eating BBQ kangaroo meat was weird... I went to some national park and they told us that they're doing population control and they just shot down some kangaroo, BBQ'd it... then handed it to me on a cracker.. eating our fauna, yum.

It's cooked in a tray and it solidifies and they cut it up into ice cube sized blocks and it's like jelly but harder and they garnish it with shallots, etc.
