I used to love ptcha but not so much anymore. A similar type of dish that local Ukrainians love – think it is made with chazar feet – but basically the same – jellied with hard boiled eggs and lots of garlic – but they call it headcheese. The name alone is revolting.
When my daughter was in Thailand she said that along the main drag there are all kinds of food vendors preparing hot foods on carts. She followed the wonderful aroma of garlic cooking to discover fried grasshoppers being prepared. She lost her appetite for the rest of the day – but said that the grasshopper vendor had a huge lineup of people waiting to buy. I guess whatever you are used to. The Thais might find us lining up to buy a hotdog a little peculiar.
As for personal experience – I can’t recall eating anything weird, unless you count ptcha, which many people might.
