I'm beating CG to the punch.
Not all of this I HAVE PERSONALLY EATEN but have seen others(CG) eaten.
So let's start off with something I'd never fucking eat and was almost tricked into eating. (Much like the raw ethiopian beef!)

Lamb brain cooked with butter, onions, tomatoes and spices
Indian/Pakistani dish. You can't tell it's brains by looking at it. That's the sneaky part.

Korean blood sausage. With what looks like a bit of tripe. I'm not a tripe fan, but I generally like blood sausage. This one was okay. Best blood sausage I had was in a gumbo at a place in Sacramento. They no longer serve that version anymore though.

Korean tofu soup. Spicy, yummy.

African Oxtail Soup - yummy spices and I love the beans

Ghanaian Corned Beef Stew (spicy)
Canned corned beef, habanero peppers, bell peppers, onion garlic, tomato and egg
This is a great stew and a way to use up your leftover corned beef in something different.

law mai gai - sticky rice in lotus leaf
One of my fave, warm and earthy dim sum eats. Great with tea.

Fried Brussel Sprouts - this is the only way to have brussel sprouts. Fry them with garlic and butter. Make a quick dip for it. Nommm

Borscht - Skinning the beets to make this is a bit messy but kind of fun. I love a good hot borscht with some sour cream and bacon bits on top.

This is some sort of sweet n spicy korean squid dish. I'm not sure the exact name, but its my fav korean dish.

A poke.


These are the sauteed greens at The Red Room in Santa Cruz. This is my favorite appertizer of ALL TIME. I have yet to fully figure out how they make this, but my best attempt so far is truffle oil and olive oil, lemon juice, white wine, roasted galric and a combo of chards and leafy greens.
They also have great drinks there.

"Death in the Afternoon" - Absinthe topped with champagne.
