Oryx. Not that exotic, but it sounds exotic.

I would never want to eat whale, but I have had sausages in Japan. So who knows...

BTW what does 'gamey' mean when it comes to taste?

Gator might be it. Grew up in south Florida, so it's not exotic to me, mind you.

It's a distinct flavor that tends to overpower seasonings, some people say it tastes like blood.

The most exotic animal I've ever eaten is probably squid or venison.

Not really exotic if you ARE australian, but kangaroo is delicious when cooked right. If overcooked it goes rubbery/tough and horrible, if cooked well it is soft and very tasty. I went to an "Australian bush tucker" place for my 18th (because my grandma kicked up a stink when I wanted tepenyaki, but she was paying so eh) and wanted to try crocodile...they were out of stock. Seriously, how can you be a good bush tucker place if you don't have the meat in stock? ><

Like the other Aussies, kangaroo. Better than cow, better for you than cow and better for the enviroment, so I don't see what's not to like. I've also tried alligator, snake (If you can ever find a proper snake-blood wine, give it a shot. It's impressive), emu and crab. I'm not sure how much they count, but. Exotic is a tricky term anyway. XD

Also, I doubt shark counts. Flake is pretty much always shark, and I don't think anyone considers 'fish 'n' chips' exotic. =p

Sashimi, Emu, Ostrich, Possum, Boudin Noir (Black pudding or blood sausage), Foi Gras, Venisen, Boar, Ants (Yes ants. They were green ants that were used to season smoked salmon. Every time you bit one there was this explosion of citrus)Ox tongue, wallaby, kangaroo (not an exotic dish for us in Australia but I'll list it anyway) Wagyu with a marble grade of 9+ (definately exotic when it's price is in the hundreds of dollars per kilo), qual, pheasant, escargot (snails), lambs brains, sweetbread (basically the lymph nodes of an animal), kidneys, soft-shelled crab ( basically an enzime is added to the water these fellas are farmed in. The enzines stop the shell from hardening. The crab stays very small, but the shell is soft enough to eat so you eat the whole crab) bugs (morton bay bugs that is) scampi, lobster, marons, carpaccio (raw, thinly sliced beef covered in a citrus sauce. The acid 'cooks' the beef ie kills the bacteria) ceviche (the same as before but shellfish, usually scallops or lobster) and crocodile. I'm sure I could mention more but these are the most 'exotic' that come to mind.

Cow! Cow? What is this beast of which you speak...

Actually I mentioned it. Wagyu = cow

Incidently what does bear and iguana taste like?

Take THAT national icon!
And to think we placed the kangaroo and the emu on our coat of arms because they are the only animals in the country that can't move backwards (as a symbol of our nation ever moving forward). Any other country would have thought we stuck there cause they taste good!

Which they do ;-)>

Bear is kind of like a cross between pork, beef, and buffalo. Iguana you would have to try for yourself (I have heard people describe it like chicken, but it tastes nothing like it).

Python. At first I thought it was just chicken, it wasn't untill the end of the meal I was told what it was.
