Delicious foods you may not have eaten!

I've been inspired to create this thread by the delicious dinner I'm currently eating. It's just a regular fried chicken breast and salad combination, but to spice things up a bit I asked the local chef (my father) to add some Halloumi.  Now I don't know if Halloumi is as uncommonly heard of as I think it is, or if the people I've mentioned it to are in the minority, but I haven't met many people who have tried it.  Apologies if the Giant Bomb community happen to be the biggest collection of Halloumi enthusiasts on the internet and you've all already heard of this magical food.
 
Taken from wikipedia :
Halloumi or haloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese that is also popular in the rest of the Middle East and Greece, and is now made the world over. It is made from a mixture of goat's and sheep milk, although some halloumi can be bought that also contains cow's milk. It has a high melting point, and so can easily be fried or grilled. Halloumi is set with rennet, and is unusual in that no acid or acid-producing bacterium is used in its preparation.      
 
OK. Now you know it's a cheese, it's made from goat and sheep's milk, and it's commonly fried or grilled. Has that got your interest? Maybe. Will what I have to say about it entice you more? Possibly.
 
Have you ever wished you could eat a rubber? (eraser for you folks in the colonies) Not those dodgy hard pink ones on the ends of pencils, or the rough and tough half grey half white ones, I'm taking about the all-white, bendy soft ones that slowly split in half as you bend it back over itself. "Yes!" you cry? Well you're in luck, because that's just what Halloumi is like. Once you've fried a slice of this bad boy up, it feels just like a big ol' chunk of rubber, just waiting for you to sink your teeth into it.  
 
Speaking of teeth, the texture of the cheese is unlike anything I've tried before. You know that squeaking sound you can make when your teeth are super clean and you rub your finger over one back and forth? It goes squeak squeak squeak right? Like when you're squeegee'ing a window. That's exactly the feeling you get when you eat Halloumi! It even goes "squeak squeak squeak" in your mouth when you're chewing it. It's unreal.  
 
As for the flavor, it's pretty bombastic to say the least. It's mad salty, but also surprisingly creamy for such a firm cheese. I actually just ate the last piece, so that's where I'll end my story. I'll leave you with a picture though. Please feel free to share any amazing foods you've tried that people may not be aware of!
 
 

I like food that tastes good.

I've totally had this at a Greek restaurant before and I have to say you describe it perfectly, which is actually how I remembered eating it.  Also it is preeeety tasty.

Ollie Bollen,

Dutch delicacy, stands for Oil balls,

Take fruitcake mix (The dough is made from flour, eggs, yeast, some salt, milk, baking powder and usually sultanas, currants, raisins and sometimes apple pieces and zest, In some family recipes beer is added to the dough)  
Take a fist shaped portion of the dough and put it in a deep fryer, take the dough out when it is golden, The dough needs time to rise for at least an hour. Olie bollen are usually served with powdered sugar

 
awesome.

You know... I'm pretty sure they sell them down at the Saturday Markets here, in this dutch bakery stall they've got going on every week. Generally I just head down, pick myself up a pork bratwurst with german mustard, and a ginger beer. Maybe next time I'll save some room for one of those. 
 
Thanks for the heads up!

Black Beans and Rice, its a Cuban must have at every family gathering.

Oh god, I feel so sorry for anyone who has never tasted Döner. 
 

I remember the first time I ate a cannoli.  I should've gotten more.

beer battered gator nuggets, the restaurant I used to work at made them and they are delicious, other than that the only thing I can think of that was special was a panchetta bacon sandwich I made once that was easily the greatest thing I've ever eaten but panchetta isn't that unusual just delicious.

Chicken Shawarma. Cut up seasoned chicken topped with a lemon dill greek yogurt served on a warm pita. I highly recommend trying one.
 

" I remember the first time I ate a cannoli.  I should've gotten more. "

I'm not sure how you got so invested in spreading awareness of Halloumi, but I'd try it right now if it was in front of me. Seconding doners, shawarma and kebabs. Delicious. I'd like to add Tirokafteri, a Greek spicy cheese dip that you can get at pretty much every restaurant in Greece. If you like spicy food, cheesy stuff, and dips, you'd probably love it. 

Chicken heart skewers, beef tongue, and fried cartilage.

God Torihei is delicious.

I had some snake once and that was pretty dope.

"Your eating lamb offal with fat and a few ground up bones for texture "

" Oh god, I feel so sorry for anyone who has never tasted Döner. 
 

 
Not what some might consider "Kebap" or what is sold in other countries under the same name, no. The proper, cheap, mutated german version of Döner. Oh god. You have no idea.
 

"

if you like cannoli... you NEED to try a Napoleon. holy. motherofGod. dare i say, a screaming orgasm for your mouth. shit.

I do have a tasty food recommendation  Bulgogi a Korean dish.

Donairs are still the greatest food ever. 

" I do have a style of food I tried that was good a Korean dish called Bulgogi. That was good stuff. "
