Here in PA/NJ you can buy pickeled pigs feet by the jar in almost any grocery store ...
Usually in the Jewish/Kosher section --- (strange, when you think about it)Comment

Hey Hector, if Andrew Zimmern leaves Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel, I recommend you to take his place.

When I was young I ate balut. I would never eat it again and I refuse to sit down at a table if I know there's balut. I have severe ornithophobia so I freak out. Anyway, balut is a half-formed duck egg/embryo that is boiled and eaten beaks, feet, head and all. When it comes out of its shell it's a very vomit-inducing black curled up dead bird and feathers with the yolk of the egg still attached.
Another thing I ate which I could probably still do is deep fried beetles in garlic. Place a blanket underneath a mango tree and shake the thing to death and all these beetles fall off. Stir fry them with garlic, and pluck off carapace and legs before popping them in your mouth. I remember them being very juicy and a little crunchy, and anything deep fried is usually great.
Other weirdness: frog legs, fish eyes, deep fried fish eggs--delectable!, octopus--too stretchy, boiled chicken blood in soup--yummy, pork blood in soup-yummy, crocodile, wildebeest, and I forget whatever kind of game meat they served in Nairobi at this restaurant that specialized in game meat. One of the worst things ever, which tasted really rubbery and not very great was jellyfish in a salad.Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
Samples of my work are found here: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness

I've eaten fruit bat cooked in coconut milk when I was a kid. Yummy! Yummy! Also, I tried whale meat in Japan back in November. Taste good. On that same trip, my friend took me to a sushi restaurant and I ordered something that looked look at the window. Well, my friend didn't tell me what to expect. When my order arrived, I freaked out when I saw that fish that was made into sashimi was still alive. I waited until it was no longer moving before eating it. I must admit it tasted really good.Comment

I don't remember that scene.
Sadly, those little guys don't have much meat on them. I remember one time my brother made a comment that it smelled aweful and boy, my father got so upset. There is a gamey smell when you first start cooking the fruit bats.
Anyone like limburger cheese?!

Most of the things I have tried have already been mentioned
Squid-but only in the form of Calamari. I can eat that all day long.
Venison-delicious if prepared properly
Buffalo-Mine was cooked like a roast. I thought it was good but a bit dry.
Rattlesnake-Excellent. Meat is tender and sweet.
Alligator-I've had this all kinds of ways from cooked gator on the bone to an alligator sausage. The sausage was really good.
Frog Legs and Escargots- Again, very good
Conch-Fantastic if prepared right
Human Breast Milk-I admit I tried it....I was curious when the kids were born...actually not bad, not bad at all."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."
