Well, let's see. I'm probably not too far off the beaten track when it comes to exotic foods, unless it was the Thanksgiving that my ex father in law decided it was going to be Wild Game Day. We had partridge, grouse, quail, and pheasant, in addition to the traditional turkey. My ex mother in law drew the line at a Turducken arrangement, however.
I like fried alligator bits, a la Porche's in the Ft. Worth stockyards. They use a cayenne spiced breading that is wonderful. The alligator itself tastes similar to catfish, to me.
My mom loved pickled pig's feet, but could never convince me to try them. She also liked Pork Rinds, which are the same as MoeJoe's pork scratchings.
I haven't seen calamari mentioned, perhaps it isn't exotic enough, considering it's on the menu at a lot of Italian places I've been, but the equation of "squid" and "eat" to me sounds fairly exotic.
I always wanted to try sour cream herring - haven't managed it yet, though.
