1. A cockroach. I put it in my mouth and chewed. Now I know what cockroaches taste like, but it was more tasting than eating.
2. A grasshopper with salt. Not the kind of grasshoppers they sell at some places in Oaxaca, Mexico, which are already cooked and tasty, but one that was alive and kicking right before I ate it raw. I did it because a cousin of mine told me they were good with salt, when I was five or six years old. They aren't...
3. Very cheap tacos at a street stall in Mexico City. Each taco cost about one peso (a bit less than 10 cents of a dollar). A friend of mine warned me about eating there but I didn't listen. I got dysentery a few days after and could barely move because of the long lasting diarrhea.
4. A lot of habanero pepper sauce at once. This isn't the most exotic but it is the stupidest. After I had avoided eating and drinking irritating stuff for more than a year (alcohol included) because of my gastritis, I was hitchhiking with a friend of mine throughout the South East of Mexico. We were both very hungry, walked into a market and asked for some local food (cochinita pibil, for those who know). My friend, who lives in Massachusetts, ignored me when I warned him about the sauce: "Be careful! It's habanero!". He generously covered his cochinita with about six or seven spoonfuls of habanero sauce and took a bite. As anyone who was eaten habanero can imagine, my friend got all red, tears rolled over his cheeks, his veins became visible and began swelling right before my eyes, while I laughed and made fun of him. The stupid part is that my friend challenged me to eat some of his food and I did... After that I had to hitchhike with a stomachache, drinking milk with painkillers.

M$I don't think there were any major side effects. I mixed it with rice, and I do not recall a strong smell from the product.
Gross, I know. :)

M$My first apartment, out of college, i found some at the grocery store in a can. On the side was printed instructions on how to bread and fry it. So I breaded and fried it (proud of myself for using graham cracker crumbs in the egg mix instead of real bread crumbs.)
There must have been 4 servings total, I think I made it through half the first. I left the other three out for my room mate, but he was too smart to eat it.
"WTF is this?" I thought. So I look on the side of the can for the ingredients list. "Ingredient: Tripe" Gee, thanks.
There was no google back then, or I'd have found out sooner. It took me another week or so before I found myself in a library with a dictionary. Tripe: (Noun) not good food.
About the same time, my room mate and I had an argument over whether chick peas were the same thing as garbanzo beans. At the grocery store, I saw a row of cans labeled: "chick peas" next to a row of cans labeled: "garbanzo beans." So I bought one of each. That night, I called my room mate into the kitchen to show him that they were the same. (My plan was to open each can, proving once and for all that the contents were the same.) Imagine my horror when I looked in the cabinet and saw: TWO CANS OF CHICK PEAS.
My diabolical room mate had obviously hidden the garbanzo beans, run to the store and purchased another can of chick peas and ruined my plan.
So I left it alone. The next time I was at the grocery store, I picked up some garbanzo beans, and then it hit me. The cans said "chick peas" on one side and "garbanzo beans" on the other.
Turns out I was an idiot.
But I was RIGHT. (Chick peas are the same as garbanzo beans.)

M$Unfortunately, the nurse had a child sick with the flu (but still came to work) so I also got the flu. I vomited ice cream so much that I couldn't eat the stuff for years afterwards.

Tacos from a street stall in Mexico City would be the winner if I was judging this contest. That's classic...
