Never ate them myself, but my uncle and cousins used to fight over who got to eat the lamb eyes at Easter.  Then there was the Easter soup made by my grandmom which was based on the intestines of the same spit roasted lamb that was cooked for hours in my uncle s back yard.  Probably other parts were eaten  but I stuck to the chops.
 
 Maybe not strange, but we eat dandelion leaves boiled then mixed with a little olive oil and lemon juice.  DH s mom used to embarass him by pulling over the car when she d see a big field of dandelions.

Ewwww, lamb eyes. Back in Turkey (My origins), people cook head of a cow/sheep and eat it, the whole meaty sections, and of course the eyes. It is considered a delicacy by some [: (], do not mention the tongue, eeeewwwwwww

Just rememberred this one.  In my military days..went out with some K-9 handlers, and they drank beer out of a dirty ash tray.  They tried to get me to also, but I refused.  Told them I didn t want to be a honory K-9 handler...glad just to be a patrolman (and the idiot who let the K-9 attack me for training purposes).
