The most adventous eater I know is an English Professor I used to teach
with. I asked him once if I he'd ever gotten a dish he couldn't eat, and he
told me about the year he and his wife spent in China. He ordered the lunch
special in a place. "Goose legs and gravy" it said on the board. They came
in a bowl; a pair of webbed feet cut off above the ankles and the water
they'd been boiled in.

There's a Korean place near my house. Not long ago I ate there and ordered
something that I knew to be squid, but had no idea how it would be prepared.
What the heck, I like squid -- give it a shot. A few minutes later the
waitress appeared at my table with a whole squid and a pair of kitchen
shears. At least it was dead -- not sure about cooked. I mostly love
Korean fare but that one threw me.
