I think the peanut butter and barbecue-flavoured potato chip sandwich
I made as a kid and a Dairy Queen banana split with creme de menthe,
brandied peach, and blueberry toppings qualify as the most bizarre
things I have ever eaten (the banana split grossed my roommate out...)
Of course, anything from UW's Village residences wins hands-down...

For those weak of heart...TOUGH!!
I was in Barbados a few years ago and saw a man eat what had to
be one of the more discusting things one could possibly eat.
We were on the beach and were sort of pulling sea urchins out of the
water when these two guys came along and say to us "You wanna see
me eat that?" Well we said sure, figuring there isn't a whole lot
inside one of these things that looks edible. Theyre mostly shell
and fluid. Anyway these guys cracked it open and the fluid poured out
and inside was the most sleazy looking glob of guts that you've ever
seen. Well they scooped it out with a finger and down the drain it
went.
It was only after that, they admitted that they had been drinking madly
for the past 2 hours. Anyway we didn't see them again but I figure
they spent a few our praying to the porcelain god.
------------------
On a lighter note. Ever see anybody hollow out a pickle fill the inside with
peanut butter. Dip the result into melted chocolate, let it cool down and
eat it. I did -- yulk!

My college cafeteria once served pineapple pie for dessert.
That, in itself, is not too bizarre, though I don't usually
think of pineapple as a pie filling. Trouble was, it LOOKED
like peach pie. I expected to taste peaches, and when I
bit into the pie, there was something completely different
there, which weirded me out. Reality bore no relation
whatsoever to my expectations. Of course, that, also, is
not so unusual...

Of course, that, also, is >not so unusual... The same kind of thing occurred when, at a party, I was chatting with a friend who was drinking rum and Coke (ugh). I was quaffing beer, but for some reason I had been looking at the icky-sweet drink in my friend's hand. Expecting to taste sugar and nail-polish remover, I swigged some beer--reality was altered and great holes opened in time and space. Yeesh.
