Alligator is probably the most exotic thing that I've eaten. It was a little rubbery.

Given where you live Froya, I am not surprised... I guess we get the same reactions when we antipodeans say we eat kangaroo crocodile and emu!

Not weird at all, here - I probably eat more bison than beef.

I was brought up in Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutsche) country and occasionally was served Scrapple for breakfast. I found out later the name came from the leftovers, or "scraps," of hog butchering and was made from hog heart, tongue, liver and even brains, mixed with cornmeal, formed into loaves, sliced and fried. When it was covered in maple syrup it was actually pretty good!

When I was young (about 15), I was burning off the wheat stubble after harvesting, and the fire ran straight over the back of an Eastern Brown snake- a very deadly and savage snake. He was less than impressed, and reared up at me. Fortunately, I was armed with my 'patent' snake-killer (4-5 strands of 12-gauge fencing wire plaited together, about 5 feet long). I managed to kill him, and took him home. Much to my mother's disgust, I borrowed a frypan, skun the snake, and fried him up in butter. It was tasty, white meat, but snakes have an AWFUL lot of ribs..

Bustard!
It's a large Australian flightless bird. Well not as large as an Emu but it aint a quail either. It's an endangered species and most people cant touch it with a barge pole. Fortunatly the local aboriginal folk are permitted to hunt it (traditional, just ignore the firearm). Best tasting birdlife i've tried. Deep Fried Mars Bars
This Scottish "delicacy" should not be overlooked when it comes to weird.
Actually just yesterday I had a choccy bar with pink peppercorns in it!

After a visit home in Canada, I returned to my classroom in Switzerland with a bottle of maple syrup and some disposable spoons so that my students could taste a typical Canadian treat. Many of them refused to try it! If I could eat their boudin(blood suasage) and tripe(cows' stomachs), it seemed odd that they wouldn't even try tree sap.
It's probably a good thing that I didn't try to get them to eat dulse.
