Not exactly exotic, but I would say liver and onions. It smells so good but I just can't bring myself to eat it!! I think you made the right decision! I saw Anthony Bourdain drink snake blood and then drink tequila on one of his shows in Mexico and he made a horrible face afterwards!

Somehow even though it is twenty some odd years later, I do not think you should change your decision. I don't know but 100 year old eggs, snake blood, bile followed by vodka! There really must be something better to try! but that is just my thought on your thoughts.

I would have to say a typical Portuguese meal which is "Arroz de Lampreia". A rice cooked with the blood of a type of eel. The smell made me never be able to try it, which is vry uncommon for me. But I am hoping one day I will

I am not very adventurous when it comes to exotic dishes. I tend to become squeamish. I did once chew a small bit of escargot for about 20 minutes before I finally gave up and put it into my napkin. I was 18 years old and they were not prepared properly, I'm sure, because we were at a nightclub. I tried frog legs but I felt terrible afterwards. :(

So, we've all passed up some exotic food at some point. rnWhat's your regret?rnrnMine are (i) hundred year eggs and (ii) drinking a snake (blood, then bile, followed by vodka), both from Taiwan. Just couldn't do it, but now, 20 years later, I wish I had.
