Coming from the Pennsylvania Dutch area, I am used to odd foods.  Growing up, there were pigs feet jelly, tripe, which is made from stomach, and snapper turtle soup, to name a few.  Moreover, coming from the mountains of Pennsylvania, there were hunters among family and friends, and there were rabbit, squirrel, deer, and other meats that you can't buy at your local grocer.  When I got older, I was adventurous and tried additional non-mainstream foods, like snake, buffalo, ostrich, and a variety of others.

Now, that I am in China, I have seen even more strange foods, but one that is a very common treat for many of the Chinese people with whom I have taken meals but which I cannot understand is chicken feet.  Many of my friends love them, but there really is no meat to them: it's just nibbling on bones to suck off a little bit of skin.  Personally, I think, even with my vast experience with nontraditional foods, it is one of the oddest food that I have encountered.
