Please be honest, I want to know all the crazy answers.

My dad got us a tin on silkworms from his work trip to Korea. The whole family tried them. I put mine inside a bun thinking it would be easier but ended up biting it in half and the half got stuck on my tongue. I ran outside shaking my head like a dog trying to get it off as i didn't want to touch it.

Me. Hands down, me. Pine bark? Yep. Crickets and grasshoppers cooked, then rolled in powdered spice? Yep. Grubs? Yep. Raw horseradish, grated onto a cracker? Yes. Sassafras root tea? Yes.
By far, however, I'd say the biggest food risk I ever took was trying a bit of Stinking Bishop cheese while in England. It earns the name!

This is about something that NO ONE has ever eaten. I grew up in a small town where a vast majority were Polish. I was not, was only about 17, didn't cook, and my mom wasn't fond of pork. I was announcing Bingo, and the prize for that game was Krakus ham. Having never heard of this, and not sure what it was, I announced that the prize was a Kosher ham! The hall went crazy laughing. I didn't understand why for a few years.

My friends and I discovered that you could make a "psychedelic tea" from Gypsum weed. We then made the erroneous decision to make tea from what we decided was Gypsum weed without confirming the fact. We "experienced" something alright, but it was more likely just a case of poisoning than anything else. Dumb kids!

A glass Christmas tree bauble. I picked one off the tree and bit into it as a small child, and have no idea why.
I can still remember the feeling of glass fragments in my mouth, some thirty years later. Do not try this at home!

A century egg (also called "100 year old eggs"...which is the same thing .lol). It's an egg (traditionally duck) that is preserved by wrapping it in a mixture of clay, wood ash, quicklime, and salt. They are left that way for week and even months. The whites become dark brown/black and gelatinous. The yoke turns green and slimy. It is the most vile thing I have ever eaten. The texture is like thick snot and it smells like cat p**s. There are not words to describe the actual experience. I'm getting queasy just writing about it.
I've also tried a variety of insects. I'm fine with the flavor, but I had how their carapaces' get stuck in my teeth.

My sister used to eat ritz crackers with mustard and green olives. I caught her a few times drinking dill pickle juice from the jar of pickles.I was fond of Milk Bone for a year of two.

The weirdest thing would be within my culture.
As a child growing up we were told we had traditional chocolate cake. This got the kids excited come to find that this traditional cake was made/baked from the blood of sheep. Now I don't know how it is made, but it does look like a chocolate cake. Adults would eat this during the time of winter or summer solstice. They prefer to eat it hot other wise if served cold it would be greasy. Along with this would be from the sheep that was butchered would be the eyeballs, some elders consider this a delicacy along with their cherished childhood stories with the food they are eating. Finally would be the ankles/hoofs...? of the sheep. I don't know how this could taste any better than the eyeballs and traditional chocolate cake. I never grew the taste buds to eat these. I love my culture but i stop at the traditional cake, eyeballs and hoofs..

I had a lollipop with a grasshopper in it just to say that I did. I was 13. It tasted a little like almonds and really bitter. It was disgusting. It was squishy and crunchy and even a bit juicy. I cannot un-feel or un-taste that monstrosity.

Visited The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta. They have a tasting room where you can try different Coca-Cola products from all around the world. There was one drink, the Beverly, from Italy, that people were tasting that caused them to make horrible faces.
I thought "I don't want to drink that", and went on to taste others. Curiosity got the better of me and I went back and tried it. It was....HORRENDOUS. At the time I thought "This is what death must taste like."
Worst tasting thing I have ever consumed.
If you go on Youtube and search for Coca-Cola and Beverly, you can see people's reactions to tasting it and that will give you only a hint of how horrible it tastes.
