Raw cranberries. I love them. I just picked up 2 bags and am munching on them now. I can't hardly get anyone else to eat more than one.

Hey, they're awesome! They have a texture like a small apple. Plus, the squishy ones that have the redness from the skin penetrate the flesh have a hint of cinnamon. Also, they are a "super fruit". The bag says so. I have yet to see one fly or lift a car, but I'll just go with it for now.

Are we talking right out of the can, on a cracker, or something else? They weren't bad on a brick oven pizza.

Beets. Not really a oddity but I have run into very few people who like them. I love them pickled, out of the can or raw and then steamed.
Plus I understand they are very good for you. I try to eat at least one serving several times a week. Mostly pickled from the jar.

Mustard on fries

I do enjoy peanut butter and butter on saltines

Fried Okra

Brussel Sprouts

Anchovies.

Kipper Snacks. Basically smoked herring (sardines). Wife makes me rinse the tins out with baking soda before I dispose of them. They ARE somewhat fragrant...

Regular ol' sardines are good too, IF you can get 'em relatively fresh. Oil and Jalapenos and Mustard are my two favorite varieties.

With ya on the fried okra. Not so much the BS.

I usually have King Oscars or Season brand from a tin. They're different species of sardines I believe and processed differently as well. I haven't had fresh but I'd be all over them if I could find them.

I'm a fish lover who's land-locked. I started eating more sardines and salmon when I learned how much mercury was in the tuna I was eating. Still love fresh tuna now and then but I haven't had canned tuna in a long, long time.

I usually eat the dines with toast or occasionally some crackers. I like them as part of a good breakfast to start off the day.

Crown Prince skinless/boneless in olive oil are great. Ive always wanted to try the Nuri sardines from Portugal but at $27 for 4 cans they are too pricey.

Herring in cream sauce.

I like Escargot, not weird to me, but a lot of people don't like it.

Fried okra

Pickled okra

Fried mullet (it’s a Florida thing, as I’ve never met anyone elsewhere that does)

Fried chicken gizzards.

When the batter is right, I cannot pass them up.

The bowling ally at NAS North Island had some of the best followed closely by a corner gas stop in Watonga, OK

I do the same actually. People do look at me funny. Prefer trader joes.

Mmmm, the ones in mustard with a few dashes of Tabasco sauce (though maybe a couple time a month, not per week).

Lengua

Have only had it a few times, but liked it each time.

First time it was slow cooked, whole. I was 15 IIRC & was pretty apprehensive of it, but it was quite good.

Had it a couple times as an appetizer on a few cruises. Served similar to pulled pork on a toasted bread about the size of a saltine cracker.

Chicken feet Chinese style, I don't seek it out but, if its there I'm game.

Tripe Catalan style, is tremendous, the sauce was as good as the tripe itself

Tongue, on sandwich is pretty solid, most Jewish or, old world delis have available.

Liverwurst, same as above

Pate and Foie Gras, a fantastic taste and flavor that can't be described...smooth, unctuous, delicate. Spread a layer on bread, particularly like a Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich and it takes it to another level.

Cuttlefish, yup eating it.

Headcheese, eating that too, not letting the animal go to waste. Just the preparation apart of a terrine I find fascinating, never had a bad one.
