I have eaten some seriously weird stuff while on survival training like grub worms, skunk and sugar ants with a cattail used as a potato, just to name something and beaver meat. While on ship I had octopus, squid and crawfish in a stew type meal.

Beating Cobra Heart and blood in Viet Nam. My counterparts thought it was a big deal. Rat on a stick, Monkey also.

I'd say the Monkey on a Stick we had in Egypt...at least that's what we called it. Who knows what it actually was, but I think the weirdest I've personally had is Escargot in France...that is some nasty stuff right there. And i'm the kind of guy who will eat and relish anything as long as I've got hot sauce.

I guess it depends on how it is prepared, I ate some in a Italian restaurant in Germany and it was to die for!

I was in a Restaurant in Japan where they lock a live monkey'shead through a hole in the table, every one has little hammers and beat it to death as it runs in circles screaming for its life and then once the head is bashed in the brain is ate raw... I never touched the hammer and left in disgust, my friends followed suit and never went back.

Silk worm cocoons and chicken feet in Korea. Unknown mystery meat sandwich in Desert Storm. Looked similar to head cheese.

When I was in the Navy on Submarines, I was fortunate enough to travel around the world (literally). Every port we stopped in I tried something local and a local take on something American (like McDonald's).
Some of the strangest/exotic things that come to mind are the reindeer I had in Norway, the goat in Bahrain, the octopus in Crete, the McTeriaki burger at a McDonald's in Japan, and just being in the restaurant at all when we ate at a Hooters in Singapore.
