Grits are delicious. Butter and brown sugar, cheese and black pepper, you name it - deeeeeelicious.

BROWN SUGAR!?! Ack. Butter, salt and pepper. That's it.

One thing I did know about grits is that you people can never agree on the "proper" way to eat them.  LOL

I forgot. The nastiest stuff I've ever had is natto. My youngest son loved it, but the rest of us (and most of my Japanese students) hated it.
Quote:

Natto is a foul-smelling sticky web of fermented soybeans typically served with a Japanese breakfast. The smell will make you crazy, and the food will make you strong. That's that the Japanese believe. It's like the Japanese vegemite perhaps, or gizzards - some food noxious to foreigners (and many locals) that natives get a kick of brandishing about. "Real Japanese eat Natto" or "Natto is real Japanese food" I've heard from a bus driver, and various people eating alongside me in rural restaurants.

I didn't like it, but I tried it.

So far I'd say Tripe. Smells to high heaven too. ~shuddering~ When I was a young girl my grandmother fixed it every Sunday for my uncle along with pasta, meatballs, sausage and gravy for the rest of us. She made me try it once, I got sick right there....and that was the end of that.

The natto reminds me that I've had blowfish. It was good, but not all it's cracked up to be. I very much enjoy sea urchin roe with quail egg too.

A lawyer, who has not seen "My Cousin Vinnie"?
Are you truly a member of the Bar, Sir?

I take it from the question that you've seen all the Rambo movies, right? LOL
Quote:
Vinny: Uh, do you remember what you had?
Town Person: Eggs and grits.
Vinny: Eggs and grits. I like grits too. How do you cook your grits? Do you like them regular, creamy, or al dente?
Town Person: Just regular, I guess.
Vinny: Regular.....instant grits?
Town Person: No self-respectin' Southerner uses instant grits. I take pride in my grits.

Actually, I didn't remember anything about grits in the film, and still don't recall. But these are classic:

"Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than in any other place on the face of the earth?
Or perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove?
Were they magic grits?"

Hákarl- Icelandic snack. It is shark that is buried for many months in volcanic sand and then hung outside to dry a bit. It´s then cubed up and eaten off of a toothpick like a cheese cube. It can best be described as tasting like fermented roadkill soaked in ammonia. Best followed by a shot(s) of BrennevĂ_n........or black death as it is known. 
Puffin-Icelanders eat their national bird. LOL! It´s a red meat bird and I had it boiled. Nasty! Tastes like something rubber.
Smoked sheeps head- Pretty good really but the eyeballs were a bit more than I could take.
Sheeps testicles fermented in sour whey! As nasty as the first entry!

Various kinds of fermented tofu. Delicious.
Camel. Stringy. Not so good.

Sea cucumber. Properly prepared, fabulous. Otherwise, revolting.
Brain. Disgusting.
Snake, ostrich, aligator. Pretty good.
Jellyfish. Only good if my mom makes it.
Chicken feet. Just the thought grosses me out.
I have heard of hakarl. Always wanted to try it... the ammonia taste comes from the high urea content of the shark meat itself.
