1. Fried - brain sandwiches
Long before the era of Mad-Cow Disease, a sandwich made from fried calves' brain, thinly sliced on white bread was a common item on the menus in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The sandwich is still available in the Ohio River Valley, where the brains are now heavily battered and served on hamburger buns.

A traditional Scottish dish, haggis is made with the minced heart, liver and lung of a sheep mixed with onion, spices, oatmeal, salt and stock, and boiled in the sheep's stomach for a few hours.

Insects are high in protein and apparently consist of important fatty acids and vitamins.

The Korean delicacy sannakji, is something quite different, as the seafood isn't quite dead. Live baby octopus are sliced up and seasoned with sesame oil.
