Grandpa's Cheese Barn, exit 186 on I-71, near Ashton, OH. First floor is nearly all the little please-spend-your-life-dusting-me knicknacks the world has to offer, and on the second floor: cheese, pickles, spreads, and samples of just about everything. Sage cheese-it's green. Maple syrup cheddar--Mom & I dig that one, and bought the last pound.

And for Dad: garlic pickles, but also pickled garlic

. We sampled Blueberry cider, too. And to end our tour: grape popcorn, surprisingly good! Better than their homemade cheese popcorn, in fact.
But that wouldn't have taken much. It was . . . moist! Ew!

i lived in korea for a while and have had cooked silkworm larvae, dog, pickled eggs, "snake shots" of soju (snake is left in the bottle to slowly decompose and flavor the soju), and even had a little balut (philippines dish--preserved egg where the chick is usually half-developed when they bury the egg).
i've eaten other weird concoctions, but they were mostly dares so i'm not sure they count.

I'd hate to see what you would eat on a dare!

it's actually a pretty good way to make money if you ham it up the right way so they feel like you're selling your dignity for what they consider a pittance. it's like selling concert tickets. $5 ain't much at all, but $5 each for 10 guys is $50.

i've also eaten carious woodland critters and bugs/insects, but those were most recently part of a survival school so i don't think those count, either.
rabbit, squirrel, grasshoppers, grubs, worms, chipmunk, wild plants, etc.
