Most Bizarre sandwiches / street food in Philadelphia?
Hello,
We're looking for the most bizarre foods Philly has to offer. Could be livers, intestines, brains, anything of that nature. (Anything the typical American diner would consider unusual.) Doesn't matter if it comes from a restaurant, food truck, whatever. Things like the Tripe Sandwich at George's in the Italian Market are perfect, we're just looking for more. Thanks!

And, along the lines of bizarre food, the Mutter Museum of Medical Oddities has a section devoted to items removed from the windpipes of choking people.

I know you can get pig's blood congee in Chinatown. As far as only-in-Philly type foods, there's always scrapple, and cheesesteak rolls (egg roll stuffed with a cheesesteak.)
Edit: I realize none of these are particularly bizarre, but they are unique.

re: Philly Ray
Amazingly this Irish girl grew up eating beef tongue - Mom told us it was corned beef (kind of similar taste, not texture). Tried fish eyes - I love the cheeks but couldn't do the eyes. Can't imagine beef would be easier. I'll go along with the no food that is watching me eat it rule. hmmm - do oysters and clams have eyes?

Some people consider oysters to actually be vegan:
