So true, and also, if you live/were raised someplace where the schools are off for the first day of hunting season....venison is not exotic. About the weirdest thing I've probably had is escargot.
There's scrapple & pudding, which I think are basically American versions of haggis. My dad used to eat pigs' feet.
Oh, and someone mentioned tongue. When I was about 8 I came home from school one day - my mom was upstairs or in the cellar or someplace. On the stove was a very large beef tongue sticking up out of the pot. I was so freaked out I screamed bloody murder. I don't care how good this stuff tastes, NWIH will I ever eat it - I'm still not over the trauma!!
