When I travel, I try to taste the local cuisine and love to try things that I've never had before. Recently I tried haggis, which was outstanding. I've also had hakarl (fermented shark - not really my cup of tea, but glad I tried it) and balut (surprisingly tasty).

What have you tried? Anything that caught you off guard by how tasty (or not) it was?

Grilled fruit bat in Indonesia. They "hunted" them by flying kites with hooks. Wouldn't recommend. Cruel and disgusting.

Same country: on a trip to a volcano we ate some sort of fried rice brick with rendang or beef dip at a small road stall. It was the most simple, yet delicious meal I ever had. I still dream of that tasty brick of rice...

Edit: I forgot sausage made of pigs brain. Sounds horrible, tastes awesome. But it's an aquired taste. And you need a really good butcher who can make this kind of sausage in good quality.

Damn, poor bats. What did it taste like?

The rendang rice brick dish sounds amazing. I love rendang.

Burnt, gamy chicken...it is seen as a delicacy in some countries, but I was so appaled that I couldn't enjoy the taste.

I guess it's one of those things you have to grow up eating.

There's a restaurant in Florida that serves fruit bat. Not sure if it's still around but it can be googled.
