Other than cats, if it walks or flies, I'm willing to TRY it once. (I don't *normally* do seafood on account of parental stupidity. The exceptions I *can't* have often because they're very high in mercury - things like Tuna.)
I may ONLY try it once, and a lot depends on how it's prepped (because food sensitivity issues) these days.
I don't like a lot of commercial feedlot practices, and I *really* dislike people/groups who abuse/neglect the animals before killing them, so I buy most of meat from small farms now.
I've HAD kangaroo, camel, and a couple other oddities (one of the grocery stores in the outer "boonies" (a/k/a countryside) actually stocked some exotics, and we picked up "one of each" in ground meat. We still have froglegs that we haven't done anything with yet, I really need to look up how to cook them...
Had tongue, heart, liver and kidney. I prefer fattier cuts of meat. I use gizzards as stock fodder. Have NOT had the opportunity for "critter nuts" or "rocky mountain oysters" :) but willing to try if they're available.
The "hard lines of NOPE NOPE NOPE!" for me are: (1) cats, and (2) food that's still alive when it's on my plate.
I don't want something like octopus trying to crawl BACK out of my throat, and I don't want to chase it around the table.
