I was in Cambodia a few years ago. If I had have known or seen that they eat fried spiders in some regions, I totally would have tried them.

Crocodile is probably the strangest thing I have actually eaten though.

Hamburger. Oh yeahhhhh.

OT: Would octopus count? Besides a couple of strange seafood items, I haven't eaten too many exotic meats.

I've had ostrich, which tasted just like beef, and squid, which, as it was served to me, tasted pretty much like rubbery eggs with a weird texture. I've also had frog legs and crickets.

I've never had anything that exotic. We do have some grass-fed highland beef in the freezer, it's excellent and I suppose more exotic than angus, but it's hardly roast lemur.

My wife and I were thinking of trying capon sometime to see what it's like - I don't know if that counts as exotic but it's at least unusual.

I've had fried calamari, I honestly think that may be more common than highland cattle or capons even if the animal itself is exotic.

Snake, eaten for hand. With skin and bones and everything.. Yeah, bit odd cafe. Called the guerilla fittingly.

Actually tasted good, if not a bit bitter..

I had Tyranosaurus-Rex meat once, kinda like a strong beefy chicken flavour to it, kinda like if chicken was a red meat.

I've had snake...... unlike what I was promised it didn't taste like chicken.

Apart from that deep-fried scorpion, and octopus rings. Though strictly speaking neither of those two are meat right? One being a bug and the other a fish.

Venison, buffalo, pheasant and bear. Deer ...

Edit: Oh yea, frog legs. Papa used to go gigging. Poor frogs.
Augh the staples I had during hunting season(and the next couple monthes) when growing up. we had a whole freezer packed with wild game all throughout my childhood.

I used to go gigging for frogs.. "suns going down lets get in the boat." 10 minutes later "damnit, did you hafta drop the spotlight in the water AGAIN?!?". Good times but now we cant hunt for them year around anymore.

Exotic thats not listed by Jezebel... Rattlesnake. we used to kill and eat atleast 1 everytime we went camping when i was a kid. The things think the tent is a nice place to make a home and we thought they were mighty tasty. Boar is another wild game ive eaten. then i have had opossum, squirrel, racoon, cat/dog (chinese restraunt), and sturgeon.

OMG, I think im a redneck now...

*edit

Not realy exotic but where I live nobody eats them... crawfish. when i was a kid we would go along the stream and find the burrows and reach in and pull them out. you know it was going to be a big one when you were arm deep when you find the lil bugger. and it wasnt unusual to pull your hand out and have one clamped onto a finger with a claw.

seafood i suppose, probably squid or perhaps the hundreds of bugs that get trapped in wheat producing systems, yummy.

if you want to get all philosophical then i could say i've eaten dinosaur because everything in the eco system is recycled matter anyway

Ostrich would probably have been the most exotic. It was okay, but it certainly didn't "Wow!" me.

One that did, on the other hand, was bear meat. Bit of a pain to do right, but when it is...oh my.
