What strange foods have you tried?

Mine are really tame compared to most listed here but I have tried frog legs, haggis, squirrel, durian & blood pudding.

And I regularly enjoy eel, squid, ahi tuna & calamari.

To a lot of my friends/family this is crazy though...and one friend thinks Sriracha and matcha tea are too exotic, so there's that.

Mine list is pretty normal too. I think anyone who enjoys fine dining will eventually run across stuff like this.

foie gras - delicious (thanks Michael Mina)
caviar - salty, added a slight textural appeal
most raw fish - so far, I've only disliked squid nigiri
truffles - it's just an overpriced mushroom, tastes like one too
escargot - essentially butter and garlic on a little chewy piece of meat

And then the array of meats -
shark, gator, rabbit, oxtail

Shark and conch which aren’t that unusual, chicken of the wood which is basically a mushroom that grows from certain types of trees This is a pretty mellow list but if you haven’t tried any of these they’re all delicious.

i had horse from a street vendor while in spain....if you had just handed it to me without telling me - i never would have known

had kangaroo - that's a thing in australia

Garlic ice cream- better than expected
Alligator- okay

Vegetarian duck pate

Manhattan clam chowder pizza. No, I can't recommend it.

I had a head taco in Guadalajara. Basically just boiled cows head, random stuff scooped out (tongue, eyes, brain, cheek), grilled and then put on a taco. Actually really good.

omg! I'm surprised that some of you are still alive...

I won't even try a Twinkie! ha

Some of the things I've eaten are normal to me, but may be unusual to other people. I come from an area where hunting is common practice, so I've had a variety of meat that may not be available in larger cities, or other areas of the country where hunting isn't as common.

Crawfish- like a cross between crab and lobster if prepared right. If not prepared right, they taste like mud.
Domestic Rabbit- more tender and less gamey then wild rabbit. My family used to raise them along with chickens.
Wild Rabbit- Does not taste like chicken. Tastes like rabbit.
Elk- Sweeter flavor then beef. Very very lean.
Deer- A little stronger game flavor in comparison to beef.
Bear- Sweet, fatty tender. Very good.
Moose- Rich, heavy flavor.
Pronghorn Antelope- If they eat sage brush, they taste like sage brush. If they eat alfalfa they are very sweet and tender in flavor. I dare say better then beef.
Buffalo- Very similar to 90/10 beef.
Rocky Mountain Oysters- Nothing to write home about. Chewy.
Sage Grouse- Kind of like lean chicken
Chucker-Same
Wild Turkey-Richer flavor them domestic turkey, a little tougher texture.
Liver Mush- Some kind of depression era thing. Fried and slathered in maple syrup. Grandparents used to make it, I have no idea how to prepare it. The only way I have found I can eat liver.
Frog Legs- good if fresh, but kind of fishy tasting.
Pickled Pigs feet- Not sure if I should claim this, but it was good the lst time I had some...when I was 10, lol.

With the exception of the last couple of years, hunting was our main source of red meat. With beef at $3.00 a lb for cheap stuff and 7.00+ a lb for steaks, it is so much cheaper. We ate so much deer and antelope that when I ate beef, it actually tasted gamey. Or, rather there was a discernable beef flavor I never noticed before.

I forgot to mention Morel Mushrooms! They are phenomenal. We usually cut them in half, then bread & fry them. They are nutty, earthy, rich and oh so good. It's so easy to eat too many. It's been said not to eat a large portion of them if you're not accustomed to eating them. They can upset your stomach because they are so rich.
