When I had alligator it was tough. Ibhave heard it can be cooked well though.

I had rattlesnake once. Tasted like chicken. Also caught and slaughtered some bullfrogs and roasted their legs over a campfire. Didn't know you were supposed to skin them. The skin was horrible, but the muscle tasted like chicken.

I've always had a hankering for bald eagle, just because.

I had tough alligator before, but I also had wonderfully tender blackened gator in Baton Rouge. Papadeux serves some pretty good fried gator.

Every time I see someone carrying one of those WWF tote bags, I keep thinking how I'd like to invite the bearer to a dinner of delicious panda.

My poor wife, who is pretty finicky, was willing to try a little bit of many things that looked a bit like something else she likes, only to have everything turn out to be something else.
Dim Sum. Next time we do this your wife should go ahead and order from the menu - while it's fun to share a bunch of dishes, it's more fun if everyone finds something they enjoy.

Oh, if we're adding drinks in, I REALLY wanna try pulque.

It doesn't travel well so you have to visit Mexico to drink it. The men stand around and stinkeye each other and drink out of two-liter glasses and sing and shout while the women have to sit in a separate room.

Fun time!

I have had like three kinds. Salmon, smelt, and some other horrible kind a long time ago.

The salmon wasn't bad, but wasn't for me. The smelt comes with my California rolls I like it. :)

Generally caviar is from sturgeon or salmon only. Purests cling to sturgeon only, I think, and the purest of the pure say only sturgeon from the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

Smelt roe is not caviar, it's just roe.

I've had caviar, I'm assuming it was Salmon but it could have been from Lake Michigan whitefish. It was alright and I'd eat it again but nothing I'm going to go out of my way for.

Some of those mushrooms Krauts cook outside during Octoberfest, some paella in Spain, anything I haven't tried in Thailand except the Durian(as long as civilized toilets w/TP are nearby), conch in Key West, the Tilapia in my pond. :mrgreen:

I have had really tender alligator, deep fried. MMMmmmmMMM.

I think my bucket list would include all kinds of fish.

I was able to try a horse steak as well as whale this summer in Iceland. I liked it, but not as much as a quality rib-eye from a cow.

I almost bought some once from the grocery store when I was in Saint-Sauveur, Quebec but I didn't have any way to cook it in my hotel room. My wife would kill me...

I've been told that Gros Michel bananas were much better-tasting than the Cavendish bananas that replaced them after the Panama disease outbreak in the 1950s.

So I'd be curious to try a Gros Michel banana split to find out exactly how it compares to what we're used to nowadays.

Mature (for the antioxidants).

And for dessert, I wish to try Baked Alaska.
