I am having trouble thinking of an interesting list to post so I will post the following: weird (to me anyway) foods that I would like to try one day.
• Fried pickle
• Garlic ice cream
• Takoyaki (spherical fried dumpling with octopus chunk inside)
• Durian fruit
• Poutine (French fries topped with cheddar curds and gravy)
• Olive oil gelato
• Dark chocolate and bacon bar
• SPAM
The fried pickle sounds like one of those foods you only find at fairs (where anything can be fried!) -- and all fair food is good...just not good for you! For garlic ice cream I will have to get to the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California sometime; for Takoyaki I need to travel to Japan; durian is in Southeast Asia (or at the Uwajimaya market in Washington); I need to make a trip to Canada for poutine; there is a store that sells olive oil gelato in New York City; I saw a dark chocolate and bacon bar in Whole Foods when I was in Miami -- but it was $10; SPAM is everywhere, but most authentic in Hawaii.

I have tried fried pickles (they were quite delicious), and SPAM...which wasn't actually that bad. But that was back when I ate meat. I don't think I will be eating it again any time soon. :)
I really want to try fried pickles! Maybe at the Puyallup fair this summer?
Garlic ice cream is interesting, sweet to the taste with an amazing aftertaste of garlic. If you can't make it to the garlic festival there's a shop that has it year round in Gilroy, but you'll only need a taste. As for the durian you can find it in LA (monterey park) as well. If you can get past the smell it's actually quite tastey.
