I love having hackfliesch or better known as the "cannibal sandwich" raw ground beef on rye with butter and onions. My grandfather would make it every now and then.
But the other odd foods I enjoy are organ meats, sauerkraut, extremely hot sauces, smoked fish, insects, gator, and pb&j with a slice of salami.
Probably crazy to some but I can't stand ketchup unless it's on a burger. I fucking hate that stuff.

As long as it's ground using a freshly cleaned meat grinder, you get it with almost zero fat and properly refrigerated it's perfectly fine for you. It's like steak tartar.
Beef and seafood can be pretty safe bets to eat raw if done correctly. I've ordered steak blue (basically flame kissed, cold center) before, it's amazing. Now chicken and pork I make sure it's cooked throughout.
I've heard of Europeans, mainly Germans eating a raw pork sausage or spread. It sounds nuts to me, but if they do it right, I'll try it if I'm ever visiting.

I'll order blue steaks in a high end steak house, because I trust that they know what they are doing and can't afford the fall out from getting me sick.
I don't trust the stuff that I buy at the grocery story.
I'll cook steaks rare in my own kitchen, because that'll kill off any bacteria covering it.
If I was going to eat ground beef raw from the grocery store, I'd want to cute off the external portions and then grind up the inside part that hasn't been exposed to air and therefore bacteria sources.
Do you just grind up the whole steak and hope for the best?

I willingly ate raw pork in Northwest Thailand. About as stupid as it gets, but wow was it excellent. I also had grilled rat a day later. Like chicken!
Never got sick from either.
My bizarre food is the New England quahog raw with a drizzle of lemon. Big, fatty and chewy clams right from the water.
Within 10 minutes of catching a dozen - shuck, suck, chuck.

I enjoy greasy, salty and smelly foods (in moderation), especially marinated garlic. Whenever I get olives as an appetizer, I pick the cloves out and eat them first. Canned mackerel in oil, too. The smell never goes away, but it is DELICIOUS. I can't eat them often or cats would follow me home and women wouldn't, but the flavours can't be beat.
There's so many meats I enjoy that other people don't think much of: Liver, kidney, brisket, soups made with bone stock from a chicken or lamb, hard and crispy pork crackling. As sides, I like sauerkraut, kimchi, potato pancakes, lentil 'burgers', stews and soups with peas or beans as a base- all really strong and distinctly flavoured foods that you'd never think came from fairly bland ingredients

I first tried them when I was little at a taco stand in California, but you can find them all over Mexico and all over the SouthWest US in any taco stand or Mexican place. Its definitely an acquired taste. Texture wise its almost like a dense tofu combined with an almost custard-like creaminess. Taste wise its like a salty-sour and slight bitter taste. Other people describe it as a spongy texture with no taste.
Here are some guys in Mexico trying them. Minute 1:20

Love combinations such as:peanut butter, bananas, and honey on toasted bread. Mashed potatoes with grated cheese, tomato sauce, peas or broccoli together. Tuna/Salmon with onions, celery, garlic, tomatoes, and grapes/apples on toasted breads with morzella cheese.
Love Vienna sausages, pork chop fat bit, and rabbit back (only had it once)

I'll take all of the edible parts of a cow no one wants (tongue, kidneys, bone marrow, tripe, nuts, liver) and run it though a grinder. I then keep the grind frozen and a little to any recipe that calls for hamburger.

Anybody had the blowfish? Or at least I think it's the blowfish. The fish where the cook have to pay extra attention to the venom or you'd die horribly.

Is that the stuff you can order with bile mixed into it? If so I had that once, probably won't go for it again.
This thread is making me miss Thailand.
I believe so, it was also seasoned with nam prik when I had it. It just didn't taste very good.
Some of the country style Thai food kicks ass though. I had a freshly slaughtered duck made into laap and it was the most awesome thing i've ever tasted. I also had laap with red ants and it was surprisingly good too. Ant larvae tastes a little like tea.

I don't own a grinder and I haven't had it in years. But right now I'm working on getting cool with the butcher near my apartment. You aren't supposed to out right ask for it, but they know when you order it. Regular grocery meat I'm always slightly wary, but as I said I haven't had it in a while. I think it will be time now soon.
And Pontifex, I have done that before with quality steak!
