I don't know if it falls into the category of "delicacy," but I'm not at all sure I would ever want to consume kiviak, which consists of whole birds that are fermented inside a seal's carcass and is a traditional food of Greenlandic Inuits.

Then again, I may be letting my mind get in the way of my taste buds, who knows? (One thing is for sure, though: if I were visiting Greenland and were offered a taste, I'd accept.)

What haven't I had a chance to try? There's quite a list, but the thousand-day-old egg (a duck, chicken or quail egg preserved in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice hulls for about 3 months) is probably the most memorable item on my list (only because several months ago, I deliberately went out of my way to track down and patronize a restaurant that had this item on the menu, only to learn there were no more left that day!).

Cheers...
