The legs and crunchy carapaces are off-putting to me. Although technically not an insect, my son did eat a huntsman spider once, all that was left was some hairy legs and dribble on his t shirt. He was crying so I don't think he liked the taste much.
I tried crickets whilst visiting Cambodia and honestly, they were quite nice. A lot like eating peanuts or some other kind of salty pub snack. Good with beer and I think they were cooked in garlic and butter and obviously seasoned. I would hesitate to try anything with a large(r) volume of potentially mushy bits though. Crickets are just crunchy and don't taste of much.
I actually do want to try blood sausage. I was just not prepared for a sneak attack at breakfast. Raw fish I've had. The gross factor is much higher thinking about it than it is when I eat it. Some of it is actually really good, IMO.
Plenty of foreign foods. I'd like to know more about Indian food other than the fake takeout (almost always Tika Masala) I get. Same with Korean food, all of it I've had is delicious, but I've mostly only had Korean Barbeque, which probably doesn't count at all.
Indian food is a huge category (it varies widely from region to region) and it's totally worth exploring. You'll probably find a few regional cuisines you like most, but so much of it is delicious. I generally prefer what I'm told is the northern (Punjab?) style stuff. More meat and dairy, less fish and coconut milk. I think I got that right. Anyway, it's all about the journey with "real" Indian food, IMO.
there's a lot! There's the obvious exotic foods that everyone has mentioned, but I'm all of a sudden acutely aware of the cook books I have at home that have barely been used. I'll have to try to go through some of those...

Poutine. One glorious day. I will have it.
It is glorious indeed :D
Visited BC. Had Poutine. Worth it.

The peculiar Soylent everyone's been talking about. Always makes me think of the liquid in that postal service song.
Tried to sign up for a notice when it's available in my country: mine isn't even listed. :(
Insects, any kind of insects (that I know of)....and it will be a long time before I get around to them

A hearty meal those huntsman. ...and you should be afraid of your kid.

Blood sausage. I even had it in front of me once, but it was 8am (traditional breakfast at a B&B in Ireland) and I just couldn't.
Same here..And raw fish. Nope,nope and nope.

THere's plenty of raw fish I find delicious, at least as sushi/sashimi.
I like both!
