Those two items rank right up there with raw oyster IMO. Some people will eat anything. (tofu for eg:)

fl, your contributions could not be as bad as konnyaku. This stuff tastes like a neoprene scuba diving suit must. I nearly left Japan a week early just because of it. It's a must.......................................................to be avoided.

konnyaku [kohn-NYAH-koo]
A translucent, gelatinous cake made from the starch of a
yamlike tuber known as devil's tongue . Although
konnyaku has no noticeable flavor, it readily absorbs the
flavors of the simmered dishes to which it's added. There
are two types — shiru konnyaku , a refined pearly-white
version, and kuro konnyaku , an unrefined cake with
dark specks in it. Konnyaku is available in the
refrigerated section of Asian markets.
