After every meal, we let my son have "desert" by giving him a wet papertowel, which he chews up and eats and throws all over the place. This also has the added benefit of making him "self-cleaning" cuz by the time he's done with the wipe, he's managed to clean himself up pretty well, from the feeding. He loves the moist papertowel, ever since he was able to sit up, he's loved them.
He loves eating paper products, and playing cards and pokemon cards... Want him to calm down during a diaper-change, give him a diaperwipe to gnaw on... or a tissue.
So what strange things does your baby (or the many babies you've known in your sordid baby-filled past) like to eat?

While on vacation we spent a day at a boardwalk amusement park. My 22 month old got his first taste of cotton candy and loved it. We'd only been back home a day or two before I caught said small child trying to eat cotton balls.

Uh lessee... we've had babies eat coins, small toys, jewelry, leaves, rubberbands, kitty litter... Of course, they weren't necessarily babies when they did these things. It's always interesting to see what kind of "door prizes" are going to be in our oldest, autistic's son's waste. (I tried to put that as delicately as I could).

I think just about all kids eat paper, crayons, playdough...
