I have eaten just about everything mentioned above - and must say, that for someone growing up in a Maritime area - things like octopus and eel don't seem wierd. Eel is very good - tastes a lot like mackeral. Octopus is much like squid (calamari). I once ate a choclate covered cricket (not bad - reminded me of a choclate covered raisin, just a bit crunchier). Never eaten cat (that I know of - but I am partial to chinese food so...). I find the idea of eating frogs kind of strange. I have eaten rattlesnake - which was actually quite good. Ostrich, Bison, Horse - all very good. Bear - I really wasn't crazy about - it had a bit of a strong taste. Marmite - must be an acquired taste. People in the area where I live find my fondness for black pudding strange - and they eat prairie oysters (bull testicles) - (which I haven't yet tried, and probably won't!).
