Well, perhaps the folks on that list might enjoy these referances in
the FOOD-MEATS section of the Florilegium:

But of coarse, as Nanna points out whether something is exotic or not
probably depends upon the individual.
I've had both rattlesnake and alligator but the alligator was fresh
or perhaps at one time frozen. Dried alligator? Now that is unusual. :-)
