"Lengua", or beef tongue. Makes for some killer tacos

A patty from McDonald's; I'd rather not do that again.

Jokes aside, I've had abalone and it was absolutely fantastic. A Singaporean colleague of mine got it for me from Singapore and I still remember how awesome it was.

Camel, crocodile, kangaroo, horse, whale, puffin…

Your ellipses make me think you have tasted an entire zoo. What part of whale did you eat?

Not sure what part it was, but it was very blubbery, and I don’t recommend it. I had it in Iceland. Horse and puffin are delicious though!

It's not really exotic here, as you just get it at the supermarket with the other meats, but people find it fascinating that Kangaroo meat is widely eaten in Australia. It's a lovely and rich ted meat. Very lean.

My friend had us eat that Korean kind of octopus where it's still half-living when Koreans eat it. I wanted to leave so bad.

IDK if it's "exotic" but cariboo is f-ing excellent.

I guess exotic is relative, someone in here saying kangaroo is eaten all around Australia and Alligator is reasonably common here. Someone has goat as exotic but it seems common most everywhere.

I'm gonna go with the turtle soup my grandma got us at a restaurant when I was little (family very Louisiana on my dad's side), I remember it being good. Don't think I'd eat anything even remotely endangered now, they were not back then.

Husband still raves about Indonesian fried frog legs, he lived there for years growing up.

Horse- When I travelled to Uzbekistan, on airplane one of the meals was delicious meat with rice. I thought that its beef (it looked like it) but later I found out that its horses meat. Feel little sorry later because I enjoyed so much in meat of such a beautiful animal.

Hákarl, the Icelandic fermented shark - while not exactly pleasant the first time, it's nowhere near as bad as people make out.

Ostrich - looks like it would taste like beef, but actually it's more of a strong chicken-like flavour which makes sense really.

I guess you could say horse, but that's common in a lot of places in Europe. Like beef but less flavour, too lean, I'm not a fan.

Yak. Had a delicious yak goulash in a restaurant in Thimpu, Bhutan. Very similar to beef, hard to tell because of the spicing.
