getemono

getemono—Japanese word for exotic or strange and often disgusting food--things most people would never eat.  

In Japan there is a subculture interested in this type of food, the more offbeat the better.  A mundane staple of this sort of food seems to be raw pig testicles.  Some people say they eat getemono as health food or aphrodisiacs, but much of the thrill seems to be just showing you aren’t a wuss. 

Getemono is from, 下 ge, below, 手 te, hand, 物 mono, thing or animal.  I suppose the word suggests something you would drop from your hand once you knew what it was.
