Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What is the most unusual food you have ever dared to eat?),it will help you,my kids.

have you ever eaten the philipino delicacy "ballut"? dead little baby chicken in the shell..with feathers and soft bones!! i di not dare.

Answer:
I was in the Philippines in the mid seventy's, with a group of young sailors on a Westpac tour. Anyway, we came across a food stall that had balut for sale and we dared each other to try the balut.

It's not really as bad as you might think. It taste's like a gamey (very gamey) hard boiled egg. The juice thats in it is a bit rough on the taste bud's, so that help's to make it hard to put down the throat. The bone's, feet, etc. are fairly soft and not that difficult to chew. Take my word for it, your not gonna do much chewing, other than enough to make it easy to swallow.

Out of the four of us that tried it, two of us didn't toss our cookies, myself being one of them. And no I won't try that one again.

By the way, balut can only be from a special duck they breed for the purpose of eating balut. For fun check out the attached photo.

ick! not that brave! I thought i was brave the 1st time I ate sushi or pho! And now Im addicted to them both!
yes i did when i was lil...as i got older, i just couldnt stand the look of it, but to my grandma it is good for something, the body..or some sort.i forgot...so just to make her happy...i would get rid of the bird...and just eat the white part of it!!
dried kangaroo meat - didn't really taste of much !
I don't think I would eat it. But I have eaten grilled kangaroo (yum) and rattlesnake (bony, duh!) and not so uncommon, frog legs (They look like little pairs of pants on a plate!)

And the most gross thing ever that I have heard of is 1000 year old eggs. The discussion about it is below.
I've had duck eggs... think they were called 100 year old eggs. They are Chinese. the eggs get buried and are disinterred after a long while. The yolk goes green and you have to get used to the "odor". I've had them, they tasted Ok but probably wouldn't have 'em again.
Eel - never wanted to taste it. Never did like to see them squirming around at the fish monger's stall. Then - had it in Venice (Italy) in a place called Taverna San Trovaso and it was the best. They grilled it and served it with some grilled polenta slices. The eel was outstanding!
I ate barbequed scorpions in Chaing Mai, along with fired grub worms and all sorts of different larvae.
My #1 gal is from Japan. She prepares some foods that are unusual to me. Once, she presented a lobster on a plate, The shells were cracked and the flesh was cut into flower petal patterns. When I picked up a piece with my chopsticks, the lobster crawled off the plate.
I went on a missionary trip to El Salvador once and they served me something that looked and tasted like chicken. It was "Iguana" !! I mean, I knew what it was, but I couldn't say No, as it is offensive to them to reject what they serve you on the table.
I really like octopus and eel. for sure creeped me out when I first tried them but now I love it! The weirdest thing that I did not like was pickled gizzards, but my little brother loves them and eats them all the time!
I think sushi is about as bold I've been, and I like it pretty well. Yah I was in Manilla too, in a waterfront bar and there was this girl like a street peddler with the baloot. I couldn't handle it, but my buddy did, he had a couple and he says, 'You know its not that bad, it tastes kind of like chicken...' I doubled over laughing: 'There's a reason for that you know!'
tripe-cows stomach.
Galareta. It's this nasty, savory, Polish gelatin dish that includes meat and vegetables My mom makes a pot of soup with meat stocks or saves the remains of an old pot of soup and lets it harden in the fridge with all of the aforementioned ingredients. Then they just eat it plain. I love soup, but when you turn it into a waxy gelatin.ew. x.x

Um...I also think I had ostrich meat once. It was probably good, but too far back for me to recall.
I've had raw chicken and raw horsemeat sashimi. That horsemeat was soooooo good!!
I try everything so I don't have a "unusual meter" anymore. lol
I've tried quite a bit, here is a sample:
tripe, grubs, Rocky Mountain Oysters, brains, every organ meat but gall bladder. Durian fruit, snake, eel, silkworm pupae, field mice, porcupine, opossum, squirrel, steak tartare, blubber, blood sausage or pudding...it just goes on and on. Then again something like lentils may be unusual to some people. Sorry if I grossed anyone out.
