Lewak coffee in Bali. Coffee beans are fed to this cat looking animal called a civet. The civet poops out the coffee beans, and then coffee is made from the digested/pooped out beans.
Poop coffee!
We were talking about civet-cat-poop coffee the other day! (Someone mentioned that there's a place in oslo that has it.)

So... How was it?!
We went to a coffee plantation in Bali and my H tried kopi lewak (I don't drink coffee, so I missed out). He said it was good coffee, but not the best he's ever had or anything.

GilliC, I agree. A good cup of coffee, rich and strong, but a bit bitter. I drink my coffee milkified, though, so I think you'd need to ask a coffee purist for their opinion.
This wasn't consumed/eaten, so logically I know it doesn't belong here, but I feel it's worth mentioning:
In the north of Australia there is this type of green ant with a big, bulbous butt. If you lick said ant butt you get an "electric shock".
I've licked 2 ant butts (in Litchfield National Park near Darwin and Daintree rainforest near Cairns). One was like a super concentrated lime flavor while the other was just like a tiny electric shock.
Cuy, aka guinea pig in Ecuador. Texture of chicken but tasted like fresh water fish to me. Pretty greasy too.

I couldn't deal with the fact that they bring the whole thing out to you, skinned and grilled, so I skipped even trying it. Fish with the head on it doesn't bother me, neither does whole, roast pig with an apple in the mouth and everything, but for some reason, the thought of whole cuy grossed me out. Perhaps because it is so rodent like in its appearance?
yes! we ordered this once in peru. when the waiter saw the look on our faces he offered to take it back to the kitchen and cut it up for us. turns out, cutting it up just meant slicing it into 4 sections, but still bringing it back looking exactly the same. there was even a little cherry tomato in its mouth a la the roast pig with an apple. I still tried it, but was not a fan.
