Unique food thread

Have you ever had something that usually you can't get in your average super market? Or something that can't be easily made at home? I am not a cook at all. But I know a chef at a cafe I got to and pretty much for $5 I had this amazing cold soup called watermelon gaspachio( I think that's how you spell it) It's watermelon mixed with herbal spices and some type of vegan-esque chili.

 

What have you guys had?

I had fried alligator tail once. It was a bit tough... Not sure how rare it really is, but I sure don't see it many places around here.

I love trying strange and unusual food!

Ostrich to alligator, peanut soup to Mexican-Asian fusion.

Lately I've been enjoying middle-eastern foods. The spices used are yummy.

Sometimes it backfires though... I had a chicken liver pate on toast... Supposedly a local specialty, bleh

I've had halva several times. It tastes a bit like nougat but is much more crumbly. It looks and sounds weird but is super delicious

also spellcheck says halva is not a word xD

I've had chocolate covered crickets and they are actually very delicious. I can guarantee you won't be able to find those in a supermarket here in the United States.

I had deep fried grasshoppers and grasshopper lollipops before. (It was a lollipop but with a cooked grasshopper in the middle). Weird as hell but delicious af

I’ve tried eel and it’s very salty but really good.

 

Try not to eat too much because it’s quite rich.

I love going to unique bakeries, especially ones that make/sell special cupcakes. There is a bakery in a nearby town that has awesome flavors such as blueberry cheesecake and white chocolate raspberry.

I had some crickets (cheddar bacon flavor) at an airport, escargot at Epcot, tripe in Hawaii, and a few Polish dishes like czarnina in Buffalo, NY. I’m from a polish family and some of the stuff we’ve had can be found in restaurants but not often. Trader Joe's has a lot of stuff most other supermarkets don't carry, like foie gras.

I’m gonna be making steak tartare in the future and I’m really looking forward to it. ^^

I tried a Filet-O-Fish and I think its an underrated sandwich

I'd never thought unsweetened dried cranberries were unique until I tried to find them in stores (I like them in salads). The closest thing to unsweetened I can buy anywhere is dried cranberries with 50% less sugar, but even then there's still a noticeable difference in taste that I don't like.

Does instant ramen count as unique and weird?

Peanut butter and Cheese. It might sound strange, but the protein from the peanut butter pairs well with the protein and flavor of the cheese.
