[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

If we are just talking about a specific dish, Iceland has hákarl (Greenland shark, buried for a number of months, resurrected, and dried) Sweden has Stromsturring (fermented herring,) Philippines has Balut, embryonic Duck egg, boiled and served with vinegar... China, dogs, and pretty much anything that moves or crawls....

“Philippines has Balut, embryonic Duck egg, boiled and served with vinegar...”

That was probably the wierdest thing I ever ate; it tasted good, but the consistency was strange (the duck has started to grow insode the egg - instead of feathers it has what looks like fine hairs coming in). You drink the liquid first, which tastes like cold chicken noodle soup.
