That's good you are trying all those things that are new to you! I don't consider things unusual, as I will try just about anything! When I was growing up, I was in Spain for a little more than 3 years, and we went to restaurants all over Europe, and I would try the most unusual sounding foods, to gross out my sister, and I liked just about everything!
I just the other day reminded a friend of mine about something that I ate back in the 90s - some fertilized chicken eggs. There were some Vietnamese ladies, who ran a salon where I delivered mail, and naturally, I got talking to them about food! They would often give me samples of things they had for lunch. I could tell they were testing me, to see if there was anything I wouldn't try, and these were the most unusual, and one I had never tried! They gave me 6 of them, said they had to sit for 1 more day, then cook 2 of them, and try them. Then one more day, and try 2 of them. Then finally, another day (day 6, if I recall), the last 2. They said that people have different preferences - the one lady said she preferred the 2 day old ones, but her husband liked the 6 day ones, with more crunchy bones, which I also preferred. They were shocked that they got me to try them, and that I actually liked them!
These eggs are things I often see in the front of the Asian markets, stacked up just before the belt at the cash register. I always wondered why they would have those eggs there, unrefrigerated, and this explained it! And usually two stacks of them; though I can't read the language, it's basically telling how old they are. I never bought them, however.
