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. :D And for Dad: garlic pickles, but also pickled garlic :laughing: . 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.

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.
