I have tried also the one day old chick, snake and dog meat( this i tried when i was a kid) but not now anymore.Well, Philippines is known with a lot of exotic food. What about you what exotic food have you tried in your life?

Exotic Foods - exotic foods
Well I have eaten some odd food, not sure if it is exotic or not. LOL I have tried snail (esgargo), alligator (no real taste here other than hot and spicy, ate it in New Orleans), frog legs(which is a common food for us here in the south of the USA) but never frog, shark blackened (this was not very seafood tasty). Those are all the ones I can think of.

No. I can barely get myself to eat beef and pork, well, meat in general, let alone something "odd" that I cannot identify with ease. I think if I were to visit another country, I could very well starve, unless I can pack some candy in my suitcase.
