Second that, our Cuy in Arequipa was deliciously crispy with moist dark meat that gave it the taste of very juicy fried-chicken. The presentation was a bit creepy though, it was served whole, drawn-and-quartered, with the head on and the teeth snarling. Definitely lost all of its cuteness as compared to the uncooked version 
, which was probably a good thing.

Elephant. I was on a hunting safari with my Father in Botswana and he shot an elephant. We had elephant jerky, it was quite salty.

I have to go w/ durian also. Actually, I didn't eat it because my colleague first tried it and blapped all over the table. I thought it better to refrain.
Second would be Brunost, a Norwegian brown cheese made from goats milk. Not completely revolting, but I wouldn't do it again.

Probably the most different were a variety of fried bugs, crickets, etc. from a street vendor in Thailand. All tasted fine, some better than others. I have managed to stay away from the durian and am very happy about that!

I love durian but I don't like its smell.
I tried eating Dinuguan with white sticky rice and mango.

Guisado of puppy dog (unidentified before eating) in Southern Mexico 50+ years ago.
Monkey - It's the paws that give one hesitation
Live goldfish (What extemes men will go to to win bets and impress girls)
Various crispy fried insects (not chocolate-covered)
The gusano from the bottom of the mescal bottle
Durian doesn't even come close, better the third time around, especially with a head cold.

Fried grasshopper, cricket, worms.
Frog soup- but not just the legs. The frog was merely quartered and cooked in the broth. Pain eating around all the bones. The liver, about the size ofa marble was good.
Goat in all forms and fashions in China. Definitely had my fill of goat in China. Duck tongue- not bad at all.
Also some truly disgusting fish in Thailand- snake fish, I believe. Very oily and 'gamey'. The rest of the dish was great though.

Cheese.
Seriously. Growing up in Asia, eating molded milk is kinda weird until I get used to it. But you can give me uni any day.
And cow testicles. Just don't see the point to eating this. It's not good.
