Let me just start this off with what inspired me to create the thread: balut. Just do an image search for "balut" on Google. Do it. I dare ya. Ah, hell, here:
This is the reason I look forward to funerals. In fact, when my buddy's mother died, he let me know at the service that there would be 5, YES 5, different types of egg salad sandwiches.
God Bless the Order of the Eastern Star.

I've tried Balot once and it doesn't taste much different than the smell.
I think the worst food I have seen was on No Reservations when Anthony Bordain went to Africa and was offered raw intestine cut right out of the water buffalo.
I have tried Brain but you have to be really careful with it as you can get really sick if you dont cook it properly.
"fried chicken anus" in china is pretty gross.
I think the one that takes the cake is "virgin boy eggs" from some area of China. Basicly they collect all of the pee from the urinals at the kids school and boil eggs in the pee.
My wife's friends had a hot pot dinner one time and they included this. I couldn't bring myself to eat coagulated pig's blood, so I have no idea what this tastes like.
Most disturbing thing to see was in stewed rabbits heads in Chengdu.
Most disgusting smell was the deep fried tofu from street carts.

Who's idea are these things? Like seriously? How would anyone ever think any of these things should be eaten in any other instance other than "I will die of starvation if I don't ingest this"?

I think that's somewhat it. Probably originated long ago when people were more hunters, gatherers, farmers; not picky supermarket shoppers. When you, for example raise pigs and chickens, you don't only get the breast meat and bacon.

This is exactly it, throughout history those prime cuts of meat were only available to the weathy so the poor had to cook the organ meats and whatever they could get that was cheap which is why many cuisines (esp french/chinese) feature a lot of organ meats.
