I am the evil monkey in your closet
Frog, alligator (steak and sausage), breadfruit, sea urchin (texture strange), ostrich and buffalo right off the top of my head. Oh, and rattlesnake.
I will try almost any food once.

I guess it must not be all that unusual to you.

I've had ostrich...thought it was very tender and good
Frogs legs several times...tastes like greasy chicken
snake, buffalo, boar, alligator, chocolate covered crickets & ants, snails (love 'em) squirrel & rabbit (not strange in my book, but I'm sure to some it is), cows toungue...if prepared well (i don't like it pickled) it's very good...if you can get past the texture from the taste buds
.
And the worm from a few different bottles of tequila, of course.
Never had mountain oysters...maybe one day...maybe
I'm sure I've had a few others...I love watching that show (on Travel Channel, I think) Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmer, but I don't think I'd eat 3/4ths of what he trys. I consider mysel fairly adventurous, but that dude is nuts what he'll put in his mouth.
EDIT:
Also had Caviaar a couple times (didn't like it)...it's 'weird' & yucky to me.

Oh, and my mother tells me I have eaten porcupine as well but I was pretty young and don't remember that at all. Oh, and I've had kangaroo steak.
Hm, yes, I've had rabbit and giant ground squirrel too come to think of it. Not strange but usual I guess. I wont eat snail. I can't eat things that are of a rubbery or snotty texture. That sea urchin almost made me upchuck just from the texture alone.
I thought the frog had a texture like chicken but tasted fishier and oilier, yes. I have a TivO season pass for that Andrew Zimmern show. I sometimes watch "No reservations with Anthony Bourdain" but it doesn't grab my attention as much. "Taboo:Food" was a pretty decent episode of the "Taboo" series.
"Mountain Oysters" is on my list of "to try one day" as well.
The crunchy, spicy grasshoppers Andrew Zimmern eats in Mexico is on that list as well. My mother says she knows a really good place to get that local "grashopper pizza" he tried. Gotta admit, he made me want to eat armadillo too.

OOOOOOOO! Just remembered the weirdest thing I ever ate!
A pizza in France. It was a Mexican Pizzaria in Lyon France (I think it was Lyon...if not, very close to that vicinity). The toppings were beef (from this white wooly mammoth looking cow we would see in the pastures there), little sweet pickles (that I thought were mushrooms at first), and then a semi-raw egg in the middle (which started to cook a little from being cracked on a very hot pizza pulled right from the oven).
My older brother (who's French wasn't so good back then) wanted to try the wooly mammoth cow, but didn't know the other toppings would be pickles and a raw egg. The whole thing was pretty unappetising, but neither of my brothers would eat any part of the pizza that had the egg touching it, so I ended up sucking it down, chased by a swig of a watery mexican beer...big mistake...very nasty...felt sick most of the rest of the day.
EDIT:
And the gross memory of a raw egg-white wooly mammoth beef-pickle pizza at a Mexican Pizza joint in France is what I spend my 1,000 post on...dammit!

Wash me
This reminds me of a food network show where they went to some weird roadkill food festival or something in the hills of West Virginia. One lady was cooking squirrel, and the host of the show asked her what it tasted like. Her response: "a lot like 'coon." Wow, thanks lady. Way to dispell that West Virginia stereotype. . .

I am the evil monkey in your closet
Last year, I think, OCBF and I hosted a "Safari" BBQ at our house. About a month prior to we got together with some other friends and we made a group order from a place online. All at one time is when I got to try the 'roo, alligator, duck sausage, frog, boar and ostrich. My mom was visiting and while she avoided the drunken festivities afterward, she was quite involved in helping prepare and humorously serve the food.
Here are her hands showing off the froggies leggies. (She made one set dance on the couNter.)
Here is the freshly prepared frog legs on the platter with appropriate decoration being served to the masses. The snowglobe in the middle played a tinkly little tune!
