I'm a true Carnivore, However, the animals I eat are all Vegan so it balances out. 
. I grew up eating Beef Liver, smoked beef heart, Veal brains/scrabbled eggs, Beef Tongue, Rocky Mountain oysters, pickled herring etc. Going through certain aspects of my Military training where hunger was used as a stressor it wasn't hard to realize grubs, earth worms, grasshoppers all provided a very important protein source. Some guys refused to eat or even consider eating them, you could quickly see the change in cognitive and performance abilities. I'd eat a grub before I'd go to McDonalds!

I'm a McRib guy. I don't even think there's any meat in them anymore (not that there was much to begin with). I'm convinced they are synthesized in lab until they get enough stockpiled for a limited release. 
They are quite tasty. I prefer them breaded and deep fried with a little lemon squeezed on top.
I remember taking a friend out to dinner and ordering them. He asked what they were and I told him to try one then I'd tell him. He ate one and said that it was pretty good. I told him what they were and his face bleached white almost immediately. He excused himself, went to the restroom, and "purged" the offending delicacy. He did not think it was funny but I couldn't stop laughing.
I've always try something local (go somewhere historic/famous for the area and try local foods). I don't regret anything I've had but there are many items that were one and dones like wallaby, camel, and various insects to name a few. Nothing as exotic as food still moving as Sous has had.

I have had some pretty strange foods during my travels around the world. Some were memorable for the right reasons, others for the wrong reasons. I remember having eel in Pusan South Korea. It was right on the harbor in a tent/shack with 3 seats and a small bar. The owner removed the eel from the tank, sliced it up and cooked it with seasoning for about 20 seconds. When we started eating it, the thing was still moving around. That is probably one of my most memorable because of the environment and the menu at the time.

My guidelines have always been "As long as it doesn't move or make a noise when I cut it or stick it with a fork, I'll eat it." However, I have now realized I need to add one more criteria to be "objections" list, and that is "organs". I did grow up eating chicken livers, but I've outgrown many things from my childhood years, and that's one of them. That said, if I were starving, I'd eat whatever necessary.

I get to have my weekly Friday hot date lunch with my wife today! We started doing this every Friday about 2 years ago to supplement our annual long weekend getaway in the fall (just by ourselves). I chose to do this because an old timer at my office told me ten years ago that if I didn't start dating my wife again and going away with her periodically, we would no longer know one another by the time I retired and may well not even like one another any more... thus making the retirement years a real burden! We've been doing the fall getaway for about 7 years now, and a this point, our Friday dates and fall getaways are now our favorite times of the week and year, and we've grown closer than we ever were before!
Forgive me if that's getting too personal, but I'm just excited about lunch today!
