You left out the Witchetty Grub, Nomie.
http://www.pilotguides.com/destination_ ... y_grub.php
Witchetty grubs are traditionally eaten live and raw. Their meat is rich in protein and makes for a highly nutritious snack if you’re tramping through the bush. Raw witchetties have a subtle, slightly sweet flavour and a liquid centre.
Barbecued, witchetties are often eaten as an appetizer. They are cooked over a fire on pieces of wire, rather like shasliks or satays. It takes about two minutes each side for the meat to become white and chewy and the skin crusty. Barbecued witchetties taste quite like chicken or prawns with peanut sauce.

We have an alligator farm in my county where they raise alligators to . . . well, to eat.
And we have a restaurant here called "Gators" where you can eat gator meat. Clever name, huh? :p
Never wanted to try it or anything else weird. Since most of it tastes like chicken, I think I'll stick to chicken

When choosing between two evils, I always like to take the one I've never tried before.

Alligator is actually quite delicious, as long as it's not cooked too long and it's warm. Reheated alligator - not so good. Shark is good as well.
