Ok, sushi (even sea urchin or salmon roe) is too tame.

I nominate cold jellyfish salad (a Chinese dish: it may have a dressing, but it's mostly just strips of jellyfish)--my wife and I order it whenever it shows up on a Chinese menu.

For runner up: unaju (fresh water eel, a Japanese dish). When I ordered this in Japan, my Japanese colleagues repeatedly tried to disuade me, insistently asking "Do you know what that is?". I had to say, "Yes, it's eel. I've had it before, and I like it. I am not being adventurous," before they would relent.

For Fraulein: the weirdest vegetarian dish (invented by my bishop during a fast, when Orthodox Christians are more-or-less vegans--we're allowed foods from animals without backbones, but as tasty invertebrates tend to be expensive, we're mostly vegan during fasts): peel and trim a carrot, smear peanut butter on a piece of pita, and place the carrot in the middle, sprinkle liberally with tabbasco (sp?) sauce, roll up and eat.

Actually if you've had Thai or Indonesian dishes which combine peanut and chilis, this isn't such on odd thing after all, but it really sounds weird at first.
