Kangaroo is my favorite red meat, I eat it at least twice a week. Very high in protein has no fat at all and lots of blood oozing out if cooked correctly. It has a bit of a game meat taste.
Unlike water buffalo which is like chewing on old leather, nearly pulled my teeth out eating that stuff, once was enough for me.

If you knew it might ruin your appetite. Let's get back to the more palatable brains and tripe. |

When I visited Australia, I had kangaroo, wallaby, crocodile, and emu. All very good. |

In all my 10 years in Japan I never even heard of 'Bee soup', maybe they wound you up or you was in a Chinese restaurant.. Please tell me were one can enjoy such a thing in Japan... |
If I recall correctly, I think I was at Matsumoto in winter I think (that was more than 15 years ago.) Haven't been to Japan since. |
Looks like it's a Mandalay dish?
here it says "Along with a big bowl of rice I had bean leaf soup, and a kind of crunchy nut salad, with peanuts and sesame seeds, with plenty of rice. The other dishes contained meat or fish - two of them had bees in - yes, bees, that's not a typo! There was bee soup and crunchy bee salad. Mr Bean urged me to try some, but I declined. In case you are wondering, as I did, they do remove the stings before cooking them."
eta; I don't think I've had anything realllly weird. At least not by my definition, though the less adventurous might think a few were strange.

Deep-fried grasshoppers.
Hmmph ... this was in today's joke email:
I'd contacted a butcher to get sheep brains for a lecture in my neuroanatomy class and said I'd be by to pick them up. But when I arrived at his shop, it was closed. Taped to the door was this note: "Teacher, your brains are next door at the barbershop."

Whenever I see a fruit I haven't tried, I need to try it. Monstera and dragonfruit are probably the most uncommon that I've found here.
The holy grail for me would be a durian, but I don't anticipate finding one of those unless I travel to a country where they're grown. |
Do you have a Chinatown where you are? Ours sell durian year-round, as do several of the regular supermarkets (run by Asians). |

Ah, then there are sweetbreads. Anyone near a Basque restaurant should try them.
Nothing like properly prepared pancreas.

| The pancreas is actually two glands-in-one; it secretes both exocrine (into the gut) and endocrine (into the bloodstream) substances. |

I think there's a challenge suggestion in this - "Advanced editing: The weirdest thing I've ever eaten". Even if you make it up it'd make for some interesting pics!
I'd love to see someone shoehorn a landscape into that... |

LOL, I needed to know that,  GeneralE.
Next time, it's extra sauce for me.

I'm seeing lots of stuff on this list that I've eaten, and most of it I've found good.
Durian - god, what I'd do for a good D24 again... haven't been to Singapore in years
Snails - whether escargot, conch, or what have you, bring 'em on!
Spider Roll - one of my absolute favorite sushi varieties
Squid, octopus - this is weird? calamari is pretty standard fare, even my kids will eat it
Ostrich - you'd never know it's bird; you'd think it's red meat. Makes a great burger
Alligator - It's OK
Rattlesnake - tastes like chicken... well, OK, it doesn't but it is finger-licking good
And some I haven't seen listed:
Beef tongue - known as lengua in Mexico. Great in tacos, tortas, burritos... and wonderful slow simmered and sliced in a sandwich
Dried Cuttlefish - Definitely an acquired taste. Very heavy fishy odor, due to amines. In a previous job, we actually used some to make a soldering flux as a joke.
Smoked eel - had this in a seaside fish market in Sweden
Fish-head Curry - Another Singaporean delicacy; my former co-workers thought that they could gross me out, but no...
Lots of other fun stuff; rabbit pigeon, elk, bear, beef hearts...
The one thing that someone tried to get me to eat that I am *very* glad they could not locate is a Filipino "delicacy" called balout, which is a fermented, fertilized egg (embryo still inside) :-P
