Fried Blood Sausage.
It looks like actual, coagulated blood.
But it's really tasty (to me).
Beer. My partner doesn't care for it but I love it. I know tons of people love beer but I totally get the people that don't. It's kinda very different from most drinks!
Dobradinha: Brazilian caipira stewed beef intestines with beans. Really goes all the way with emphasizing the jelly texture
Chicken hearts: we eat them by the dozen but IME gringos don't like them much
Chicken feet: love them plain caipira style but dim sum style is even better, especially the more spicy ones
I had a friend turn me on to chicken hearts when I was heavy into grilling and love introducing people to them. Super easy to grill too. Season, skewer, throw them on, done. Chicken feet though??? Idk, hard for me to get behind knowing they've been treading through dirt their whole lives, or worse.
Marinating the hearts with limes and herbs is super good, too.
Yeah, feet turn a lot of people off because of the dirtiness and how messy they are to eat. Here's more info: they are basically pure gelatinous skin with some juicy tendons, you eat them with your hands (at least in my family) to really get in there, and they taste however the broth as a whole tastes (I can't imagine having them roasted)
Marmite
Mochi
Olives
Pickled ginger
Quince cider. It's tart in just the right way.
There's a related plant whose name in Estonian directly translated to English would be something like "unquince" (as in undead). It's so sour and I just love the juice they make of it. Makes cider too dry imo though
Bean chili on waffles the look of disgust on people's faces but then they try it.
Parsnip.
Black licorice
Anchovies
Cantaloupe
I love each of them, but all have such unique flavors it's easy to imagine not liking them.
