I couldn’t get beyond the oily crisp cracking for skin. I chewed the smallest piece I could to not offend but it was not for me.

Tuna fish and banana pizza

Nope, not making up. A pizza takeaway when I was a student used to do these and they told us it was based on an old TV advert. Pissheads used to try and order it late at night after the pubs had kicked out so they called their bluff and started doing it. And it stuck.

Travelled pretty much all over the world and to be honest if you go with the flow most food is fine… however it’s the texture that can get to me … sea cucumber I’ll give a miss braised spinal chord … tastes fine!

Fish eyes (perhaps an acquired taste; the Romans loved them, to me the texture was like eating chalk and with only some of the appeal) and various unusual bits of chicken served up at an authentic Japanese barbecue place - cartilage, tendon, the small ribs where you ate the bones whole.

Fortunately not. But I helped a friend lay a new carpet in their spare bedroom and amongst the newspapers from '78 and '79 the old carpet was laid on were some old flattened burger boxes. Contents long gone!

Those would probably be Mopani Worms. Apparently a delicacy, although, even though I was a South African, I never felt the need to try them. Lol.
