Seaweed, although my wife and I don't find it weird I'm sure others might though.

Not too weird, but something I should stop:
Lorna Doone Cookies.
4.50 for a tiny box.
Addicted.

I have never heard of some of this stuff and pray I never SEE it either. Ewwwww.

I have eaten balut, but I was hammered nearly to the point of unconsciousness at the time.

Other than that, dried fish, dried squid (yum!) and pickled periwinkles is about as weird as I get.

I love skin on hotdogs fried with my pancakes.

Everything bagel with peanut butter and grape jelly. Wife thinks it's disgusting.

Stinky tofu by far or chicken testicle soup (maybe not like but have to eat when the MIL makes it).

Not really weird but more adventurous than the rest of my family.

Conch- don't care how it's cooked, or raw. (Bubba voice) Conch salad, Conch fritters, Conch soup, grilled conch,........

Similar to conch- squid and escargot

I lived in college on peanut butter and cream cheese sandwiches. Bread has to be toasted and still hot so peanut butter and cream cheese melts a bit. Sometimes I add bacon.

I love pickled okra, but it has to be crisp and spicy.

I also like a piece fried fatback if it's done right. I don't cook it myself, but sometimes I'll find it at a local meat-n-3 place that also has really good fried chicken.

Fried Tripe.

And a scrambled egg on it, too!

Foie Gras is maybe the most unusual thing that I truly love, though I don't get to eat it all that often.

I don't think it's weird at all... Basically just a stripped-down PB&J. But I've had several different friends declare me a weirdo for eating it.

I and several people I know enjoy PB & Honey in a Flour Tortilla, sometimes with some Nutella or Bananas. More compact and durable than a traditional PB&J, less "bread" too. Great for climbing or hiking, you can roll them up and fit several in a big ziplock.

Not weird to me, but I'm sure some of you are probably wondering wtf?

Same here although on the farm in the 40's and early 50's we made it every fall at butchering time and it was called Blood Pudding.

Probably lobster tomalley. Used to be able to get it be the tub in Portsmouth, but the place stopped doing it.

Excellent on toast or bread, crackers, mixed in eggs, or on rice.

Yeah, I know it's gross.

As others have noted, "weird" is a subjective thing.

So, it is with that in mind that I offer: Steak Tartare

Fresh, raw, lean beef (I get mine from the butcher counter, have him trim all the fat and then double-grind it through a clean grinder. Or, I'll grind it myself). Add other ingredients: anchovy fillets, capers, onion, Dijon mustard, egg yolks, a spoonful of cognac, and serve on toasted bread wedges.

Or, you can just eat it the Danish way.

Braunschweiger. Most of my family and all my college roommates(the only people who are intimately aware of my eating preferences) think so. But as my Dad said, especially about my roommates eating the cold cut variety packs, at least you know for sure what is in Braunschweiger.

Braunschweiger, Goetta, snails (when in France..), liver and onions.

If you put it all together, you get morcilla (Spanish blood sausage). It's pretty much a sausage casing full of rice soaked in pork blood and fat. Plus some paprika and other stuff. In some parts of Spain they use minced onion instead of rice.

The usual way to serve it is to slice it fairly thin (maybe 1/2") and fry it in olive oil.

It is delicious.

I'll try pretty much anything that seems reasonably safe to eat (i.e. will not poison me or give me some horrible disease).

Goat brain curry.
Fried calf brain tacos.
Crispy fried intestine tacos.
All different kinds of snails and shellfish. Barnacles are especially good.
Fried whole tiny fish (heads and bones and skin and everything). I think it's usually done with sardines.
A bowl of tiny sauteed whole eels (individual eels maybe 3-4" long and a little thicker than spaghetti).
100 year egg.
Fried chicken and duck feet.
Assorted organs from assorted animals: livers, gizzards, hearts, kidneys, lungs, sweetbreads (usually pancreas, I think?)
Tiny (1-2" long) whole squid and octopus.
Bugs (toasted army ants and crickets).

Every one of those things is perfectly normal to eat (or even a fancy delicacy) somewhere in the world.

Ooh. Corn smut (black fungus that infects corn). That's a great one. It looks horrible. It looks like you should let yourself starve to death before you eat it. It is incredibly tasty.

I, for one, don't consider that weird

Head cheese

I eat breakfast cereal dry. Kellogg's Raisin Bran or Quaker Oats. I put some on a plate, grab some between thumb and first three fingers, then put it into my mouth (holding the plate under my chin to collect droppage). The cereal isn't weird, but I know of no one else that eats it that way.
