Shark
Impala
Goat Ribs
Kangaroo
Alligator
Grubs
Ostrich
Wild Boar
Marlin (I think)

There is some other stuff as well but I can't remember them of the top of my head.

Also most of the stuff was eaten when I was out in Africa.

Also fried Mars bars taste like cardboard.

Being born in Nigeria I can equal and maybe surpass El Razur.

Dog
Bat
Snakes
African giant rat
Winged termites and Queen termite
African giant snails
Antelopes/deers
Monkeys
raw crabs
raw fish
squirrel
giant ant eater (probably)

To that I can add -
Lizards
Cats
Sheeps eyes
worms
maggots
kangaroo
Snails
Frogs (legs)
pork scratchings
and some I can't remember.

Being an ex pat in Nigeria we got invited to every ex pat party going including Americans, French, Dutch, Lebanese, Persians, Pakistanis, Indians, Chinese etc.
All would put a food display on that took in their own culture and obviously 'normal' food.
I hated the French parties because they never cooked anything.

I said in another topic in SC that you never asked what something was on the table in Nigeria.

I think we have a contender here, nice. Looking back on those delicacy adventures now, will you do it again?

I'm actually a very fussy eater now and eat the same plain stuff over and over again.
I would love to have a go at the Bush Tucker trials though and eat Kangaroo nuts etc.

Crocodile when I was about 5 in Paupa New Guinea, where it is called Pook pook. No idea what it tastes like or if I like it, so I can't really recommend it. :p
