Kkina, natto isn’t that bad. . Vomit, really? But seriously, there is a range like cheese from mild like swiss to pungent like bleu (and actually even bleu has a diverse range). Natto is better than Chinese stinky tofu at least (which I should add to the list since I will eat that too). Fresh natto is actually pretty tasty. Here, I’m partial to the brand from Hokkaido that’s available at Nijiya.
Ban ro ban jing is pretty common in Taipei for beef noodle soup. The more contentious debate is whether tomatoes are proper. . I don’t think I could finish a whole dish of it but half and half is good. I like the gelatinous texture. It’s collagen, right?

Braunschweiger sandwiches with German mustard. Surprisingly, my love for this came from the English side of my family not the German side.
Calf Fries. Back in the late 90s, it was my 3rd week living in Texas and I was invited to a vendor's Christmas party. I ate what I thought were fried mushrooms, but they were more like a cross between a mushroom and meatball. My coworkers finally told me what I was eating (fried testicles), but I ate a few more anyway. Don't see them often, but I've eaten them since.
I'll eat oysters fried, grilled, and/or raw.
Growing up only my Mom and I would eat beets. Now, I grow my own in my garden and they're way better than the canned beets.
Pineapple on my pizza.
Grilled or oven roasted brussel sprouts. Never had them growing up since both parents hated them.
Calf fries are Rocky Mountain oysters.

Natto is, by far, the best food source of vitamin K2. Me? I get my vitamin K2 in capsules from RiteAid.
Serious about crackers.

There are some really tasty sausages with blood in them, too.
I'm pretty partial to Spanish morcilla. It's a blood sausage that's pretty much just pork blood, pork fat, salt, and enough rice or chopped onions or both to give it some texture and help it hold together. It's REALLY delicious.

Maple syrup is good, but I typically want additional protein with my carb-heavy pancakes, so I often top them with peanut butter or yogurt instead.
I put yogurt on biscuits too. Especially day-old leftover biscuits. Kind of like a slightly healthier cupcake, perhaps?
Works best with thicker Greek yogurt, so it won't run all over the place.

My college roommate used to do that. Toss the dry noodles and flavor powder in a ziploc bag, smash it with his fist a couple times, then head to class while munching it from the bag like chips.

Gizzards are a great appetizer or snack.
Chewy and delicious.

pan fried or deep fried squirrel is delicious.
You want young squirrels. If they are old you want to make stew out of them. If they skin tough they eat tough.
Before you turn your nose up at them because they resemble rats, consider what they eat. Wild nuts and fruits. Probably the cleanest animal in the woods. Far tastier than a stinking male deer.
I hunt small game with a 22lr exclusively because I don't want to bite down on bird shot and I enjoy the challenge of making a clean shot with a 22.

When I was stationed in Charleston, SC, I lived up in Monck's Corner, on the fringes of Francis Marion National Swamp Forest.
Had a house right out in the puckerbrush, and behind the house was a patch of woods that was about 50% hickory. Chockablock FULL of big, fat gray squirrels.
Used to go down with my High Standard Sport King pistol and pop a few. Guy that roomed with me was from NC and he'd skin 'em out and make stew out of 'em. Pretty good eatin'!
