I used to eat vegemite and chocolate hail sandwiches as a kid. But I'm not real keen on chocolate these days.

Tried witchetty grubs. Cooked, don't think I could handle raw. Wasn't too bad with green ant tea.

A delicacy in Malaysia is yu sheng salad. Eaten at Chinese New Year and contains jellyfish. Didn't care for it much - not bad, just not much flavour.

The weirdest dish I've seen was in a Chinese restuarant in Terrenganu. Top of the menu was golden shower soup. I had the chicken.
 
When I was in Thailand we would go out, and do a follow the leader type of game after a few drinks. One night we had a medley of scorpion, earthworms, grasshoppers, and frogs. I will say the frogs were tasty.

Live raw squid.

The tentacles were something to deal with, the suction cups kept attaching to everything including in the inside of my mouth.

Oh, and I had "monkey on a stick" in the Philippines.
