What is the most exotic food you've eaten?

Oh no nothing that I know of that is, I have a hard time eating stuff I know what it is ... I would starve before eating anything I wasn't familiar with...

Elk burgers (really sweet), bear jerky and blood pudding...would never try any of them again!!

I ate bear meat once, that was weird for me because I think bears are so cute...and last night I went out for Peruvian food with my uncle, and it was delicious!!

yuk I wonder why

I've had whale blubber ....

I have eaten frog legs several times. I liked them then, but now, I don't think I want to do it again. Just give me good old southern foods like corn bread and collards with a baked sweet potato. That is about as exotic as I want to eat.

The thing I regret eating most. . .is quail!! I am soo mad at myself! I'm a vegetarian so I look at it even worse than I do now! Well, I was like in the 5th grade and family friends connvinced me to rey it. . .poor birdie. . .
Not eating meat/fish eliminated many types of food. . .so i basically do vegetarian alternatives, even if they seem a little unusual. Can't really think of one of the top of my head. . .

Rabbit...Dad raised them for meat when we were little My sis and I demanded to eat hot dogs instead. Smoked venison, cavior, escargot, alligator, conch fritters, sturgeon, smelt (must be a Wisconsin thing!!). Collard greens (gross), "deep fried Twinke" (it was at a county fair)

well, my dad is a hunter. So I've eaten everything... bear, elk, caribou, ram, venison, wild boar, alligator, rattle snake....

And in Paris I had snails....wasn't very fond of them though...although they were sauteed in garlic & butter...my 2 favorite food groups! I think it was the idea of them that creeped me out....

I do like pate though... it's good with crackers.

Cow tongue, I believe... my mom tricked me into eating it.

Oh and escargot, in Paris... another thing my mom tricked me into eating...

I don't know if this counts as food, but when we were in Hawaii, I ate this little mollusky thing that a drunk guy sitting next to us on the beach pried off a big rock in the water with a pocket knife. Wow. I gotta tell ya, when you say that out loud, it sounds really messed up.

DH took a trip to Hong Kong once (before he knew me) and inadvertently ate spleen candy. Eeeeewwww...

Escargot, rattlesnake, chocolate-covered ants, caterpillar (during a sociology class). I've also had rabbit, wild boar, and ostrich.

Turtle and elk - I was tricked into eating them both - icky!

I guess I can add fresh caught conch, from one of my extremely few hitchhiking trips, while staying over at one of the small Florida keys.

I have tried quite a few of exotic foods. I've had escargot, caviar, deer (my uncle is a hunter), frog legs, snake, bear, buffalo, shark, sushi, grasshoppers, and nightcrawlers. I would recomend escargot, bear, buffalo (tastes exactly like beef), sushi, and nightcrawlers.

Well, besides the liver-and-onions Wednesday nights ...I've had tongue, heart (extremely tender), antelope sausage - yum, lotsa catfish and trout. Oh, and I ate the meat of a Dall Ram on the mountain I hunted him on!

Oh, and like everyone else - dog food kibble

Pho Tai...Vietnamese food rocks!!!

LOL...I just keep adding. I didn't consider venison caught on my grandfather's farm, or wild goose (I actually got a piece of the shot used to kill it in my portion), brook trout we caught on state land, frog legs.

I forgot deep fried dill pickles *southern thing! They are good.

I've eaten many of the things mentioned!

Ostrich, Kangaroo, Deer, Frogs Legs, Escargot, Sword Fish, Caterpillars, Caviar, Truffles....

I have enjoyed most of them but choose not to eat most on a regular basis! I do eat Wild Boar, Buffalo and sword fish quite regularly though!
