Oh yeah, I also had a dish called 'kholodets' once, which is meat surrounded by broth jelly.
It's very unappetizing, but it was better than I was expecting it to be. I still wouldn't recommend it, though. >.>

You should try "sylte". It's basically made from pig's head.

I love gator! It tastes like amazing chicken! It is very greasy though.

Few foods horrify me like this one! I'd never seen it until moving out east, and recall seeing it in the grocery store once, and on the package of one brand it proclaimed, "Contains no snouts". I was still not reassured.

Stew, with much heart and love put into it. No, really, cooked heart.

Baht bugs, fried. Not so good but hey, I was drunk, right? Hakarl (rotted, fermented shark served with Brenhnivin, naturally) while intoxicated at a bar near Keflavick AB, Iceland. Yeah, I never learn. Surstromming (fermented Baltic Sea Herring) too, as if I hadn't learned anything about Nordic traditional foods. Note, do not open the can indoors, no matter what your friends say. You will regret this. This can gag a maggot. No joke. Not so bad was the Salmiakki for a dessert treat. Just salted licorice. Very salty, in fact.

Mine is... Well I actually don't know what it was.
Years ago I was in Japan, and I was on a bit of a drinking binge with this guy who learned English from wanting to understand the lyrics of Led Zepplin songs. So we went to this sushi place, and I had never tried sushi, so the guy got me a bunch of stuff. I asked him what it was, to which he just said,
"Try it, it's good."
After eating it, I told him it all tasted amazing, so he ordered something else. That tasted great too, so he ordered something else... This continued for a few hours while we got progressively drunker.
Eventually the guy got talking to the chef and explained I'd never tried sushi before this evening, and a fire lit in the chef's eyes. He grabbed his knives and did some highly theatrical preparation before putting something in front of me. I asked what it was, but just got the same answer.
"Try it, it's good."
So I did. And it tasted incredible. However, I don't remember what it tasted like or even what it was, because we had been drinking for about 5 hours at this point and while my tolerance is pretty good, this guy must've been a professional drinker.
About a year later I happened to be in that neck of the woods again and that sushi place was closed - it had actually been demolished leaving an empty lot, and I jokingly imagine that it was never there in the first place and maybe I hallucinated the whole thing. So I guess I'll never know what the phantom amazing sushi was.
