If it isn't a recognisable insect or slimey I will probably try it. I've eaten all sorts of wild game. Everything from squirrel and rabbit to bear. Snake, gator, and some sort of lizard. The big swamp rodent that the rural people in Louisiana like to catch and eat and all that sort of thing up here (possum, racoon, etc). Seafood I am pretty much the same way. I've tried all of it that's been put in front of me. Some fabulous, some not so much so. I will never develope a fondness for raw oysters. Farm animal parts, you name it I've tried it. Chitlins (depends on who is cooking, more importantly CLEANING them as to whether or not they are palatable ) the tripe I don't mind. Testicles are over rated, they remind me too much of a bad cross between a chicken gizzard and liver. Might have been the people cooking them also. Brains can be wonderful as can tongue and heart. Eyeballs weirded me out but I tried one. I had bull penis in soup once.....nothing to write home about. The weird parts of fowl are more work than they are worth but they taste okay....head, feet, combs, etc. As far as fruit and veggie weirdness, I cannot think of anything that seems weird to me. Except that GAWDAWFUL durian! But yet I adore stinky old cheeses that alot of people here in the US turn their noses up at.
