No, that sounds about right.

I'll try anything just so long as:
1. It is dead and fully cooked.
2. It doesn't look like it would were it alive (i.e. I'm not eating monkey brains out of a monkey head).
3. I don't know what kind of suffering the animal went through prior to its demise (knowing about veal ruined it for me, thanks so much).

Tried shark once. Tasted like a bland trout.

Shark can be excellent - firmer then most fish as I recall.
Snails done right are great - but I'd rather have shrimp prepared in a similar manner.
Squid is a challenge for chefs. I try it from time to time in really fine seafood restaurants to see if they can do anything with it without the infamous rubbery texture appearing. I haven't tasted much you can't get elsewhere, better.
I've had bison which I prefer to beef prepared in a similar manner. Everything people tell me is "gamey" I usually prefer, so for me the adjective has no negative connotation.

Octopus?
I've had pickled octopus at a greek resturaunt. It was pickly.
Snails?
Tried and enjoyed. They were well prepared, so not rubbery. Essentially tasted like the garlic butter they were served with.
Frog's Legs?
Had them as a kid, fried up like chicken. They were good. I don't know if I could eat them now, just on aesthetic grounds.
Snake?
I'm curious & would try it.
I've tried sweetmeat & I'm glad I didn't know what it was when I was eating it. Didn't much enjoy it either. If I'm not mistaken, it can be made of any number of meaty bits people don't usually eat.

anything squidish or octupi-esque will most likely never touch my plate. Something about tentacles with suction cups just gives me the heebie jeebies.
Snails I can do, wallowing in garlic butter.
I lub me some alligator burgers.
I enjoy pheasant and duck but not smoked.
Venison is too gamey for my taste buds.
I had shark once and never again. Im not a big fan of seafood anyways. Im pretty damn picky.
Ostrich is good, but I couldnt get past comparing it to a steak. The muscle tendons went horizantally instead of vertically and thats the only big thing that stood in my mind.
Anything not cooked is not getting eaten by moi. Sushi is most definitely out

Are there any meats that fall into the category of 'icky' that you like?
Octopus? (If quickly cooked in a good sauce - sensational)
Snails? (Only with plenty of parsley and garlic with a little lemon juice)
Horse? (Not a fan - OK but the texture and flavoUr are no match for steak)
Frog's Legs? - Can't be ***** picking at 'em - Gimme a butterflied chicken breast
Worms? - Cleaned and fried until crispy - Were nice enough but I'd rather have regular noodles.
Snake? - See Frog's Legs above
Anyone drool or shudder at these or other 'different' foods?

have had em all and like em all to one extent or an other. dont forget baffalo, much better then cow, but you need to do something to keep it from drying out so very hard to cook unless you really know what you are doing.
and deer, and so many other things that are great. dont foget squirl firtters yum yum
I tried chicken feet at dim sum this weekend...all that's really edible is the fried skin, which just tastes like regular chicken skin anyway. I didn't particularly enjoy it though.
I avoided the boiled beef stomach.
Goat - Surprisingly tender and tasty.

Anything can be sauteed, fried and garnished enough to be edible.

Never had octopus, but I like squid.
Snails are great in garlic butter.
Frog's legs are good once in a while. Definitely more rich than chicken, it seems.
Alligator- good, basically what's been described in this thread.
Raw clams are one of my favorite all time dishes, along with just about any seafood. Buffalo burgers are excellent, and very popular in the Rockies. I've had chocolate covered crickets... taste like a Nestle Crunch bar.

Being in a Sikh temple and having some guy right out of Amritsar lay down some punjabi cuisine that I don't even think I could pronounce let alone eat. Not eating when given food by those people is like speaking english in a Montreal pub, perhaps worse.
Other than that I keep my fare rather traditional. Calamari is okay, snails didn't do anything for me and there consistency wasn't all that appealing. Bison is nice and tender, moose just needs to be marinated. Beaver, groundhogs and duck are gamey.

Muskox. Nasty nasty stuff. Tastes fine, but its like chewing on something that sat in bacon fat for 4 days and you never bothered to remove the caked on lard.
