Community Spotlight: What's the Weirdest Food You've Ever Eaten?

Welcome to our first-ever edition of Community Spotlight, in which we'll highlight conversations from Foodista's social media spheres. To kick things off, we kept things lighthearted and asked, "What's the weirdest food you've ever eaten?" The Twitter responses we received would make Andrew Zimmern proud. Here's a sampling:
