The only thing I won't try is organ meats because of what they do for a body, i.e. liver, kidneys. I like gator and frogs legs. Snails and eels are pretty tasty too. Chances are if you like mild white fish (cod, haddock) you would like eel. Some people just don't have the ability of getting over their psychological aversion to other sea creatures.

Try 1000 year old eggs. You can get them at a Chinese grocery market.

Chicken gizzards, yum!

No way. I hurl at the drop of a dime. Even when my youngest cat jumps on me and there's a big booger hanging from a nostril, I begin to feel slightly nauseated and especially when I attempt to remove it with a square of tissue paper and then there's a string connecting it to some place in the nose source.....ugh.
When I lived in Cuba they make a certain meat sauce with black olives that goes over rice. They invited me one time to eat lunch with them. I did. The meat texture was loose and slightly greasy....... it was Banana Rat (it's a very large land rodent bigger than a mole). I projectile vomited.

I'd eat anything that tastes good, is safe to eat and doesn't make me sick. I have allergies to scaled-fish. So no fish sticks, no salmon, cod etc., but I eat tons of shrimp, crab, lobster, oysters, clams, squid etc.

I've tried gator, it wasn't thrilling, but still pretty decent.

I LOVE crawfish done in a nice Cajun sauce! They're pretty ugly.

No thanks LOL...I'm sure with some ketchup, they all taste good Hee hee!

I can't get myself to eat eel, escargot, foie gas, duck, rabbit, shark, etc., etc. I don't think it's wrong for people to eat anything like this, but it's just not for me

You actually use ketchup?!?

I've always been a big fan of tomatos, but I find ketchup kind of gross because of how sweet and vinegary it is; it tastes nothing like tomatos. Funnier still, I've met people who drown most foods in ketchup but don't like the taste of tomatos.

I will eat foods with ketchup as long as it's diluted into something else, like ketchup-based BBQ sauces or small quantities and mixed with other condiments.

I'd be willing to try all of the above weird foods, except shark due to my fish allergy.
I've had escargot and they were really nice, kind of like a cross between mussels and squid.
I also LOVE DUCK! I've had duck in Chinese restaurants.

I like escargot. I tried rabbit once, it was too chewy. I'd like to try frog legs, but snakes????? No way
