I would have to say escargot. It was really nasty! http://escargot.free.fr/eng/cooking.htm

Fish skin....in China. Took days to prepare, involves many steps. Still tasted god-awful. And I LIKE escargot.

Baked beans. I don't really do ''exotic''. I'm English ;-)

I had raw lambs' brains in a Lebanese restaurant. I quite liked it. It was like overcooked fish.

I've eaten turtle soup and chocolate covered honeybees.

Authentic Ethiopian is pretty high up there. They give you one big wicker bowl with flatbread bread lining it. Various foods are placed on the flatbread, creating kind of a satellite dish shaped bowl of food. There are no utensils -- to eat, you break off a fresh piece of flatbread and scoop up food in it. Quality and novelty varies. Some places use genuine Ethiopian vegetables and sauces, especially kinds of mashed squashes mixed with complex-tasting sauces. Wash it down with some red wine.

It isn't really exotic, but the thing I eat and enjoy that most people seem to avoid is octopus.

I once bought a can of snails at a discount outlet a long time ago. The snail meat had a strong grassy flavor. I managed to eat half the can before I discarded the rest.

Turtle Soup was delicious. To you guys , Century egg could be exotic, but i love it ! Hmm , almost ate wild boar and dog in vietnam , but i passed. I think i've drunk frog's leg soup beofore when i was young.

I would guess either the "alligator" I had at a 5-star restaurant, (which sorta tasted like scallops), or the escargot at several other fancy dining establishments (I like my snails in a buttery sauce with bread topping, just a little more than in red wine sauce).
-
Smoked Frog legs, in France. It was actually good! But there is not much to eat!

Emu, ostrich, snails, rattlesnake, chocolate covered grasshoppers and ants. I guess those are exotic, but to me most of those were just yummy:-)

Some of our ancestral foods would be considered exotic I guess. Rain bugs roasted on the woodstove top. Green pinecones roasted in an open fire. Acorn soup, salt grass, sourberries, suckerfish roasted in coals. Soup made from dried deer meat with dried mushrooms a dried wild onions and ground up grass seeds. Cooked in a basket with red hot rocks for a heat source. Pretty unusual fare for most folks. 1/17/26
