And that's supposed to be duck fat.

Liver and onions
Fugu
Osso bucco
Whale
I'm noticing these are all meats... proof that I am a meatasaurus?
mikaque at 1:26AM on 03/02/09
Fugu and foie gras, definitely!
Frog legs -- I was told I was being served them once as a little kid, but it was really just frog-leg-shaped pancakes (my parents had weird friends, haha).
Duck, period.
Marrow.
I'm sure I'll dream of more.

I can't believe I've never tried duck....

Braciole
Short Ribs
Real fried chicken
A taco
Yeah. I've been having meat cravings after 9 years of veg-ness. My BF must be rubbing off on me, or maybe it's sympathetic since he gave up meat for Lent.

truffles. I'm not a mushroom fan, but maybe I will like them.
that berry that makes everything taste sweet!

Pre-sale' lamb. They grow it on the marshes of France, and it eats the sea grasses. Translates as pre-salted, and the flavor is said to be divine.
I'm glad to see that most folks are lusting after truly wonderful things that are worth seeking out.

i am deathly allergic to fish, which was discovered when i was a baby. i desperately want to try salmon and tuna. but alas, i was recently re-tested and the allergy lives on. :(
anniedra at 10:40AM on 03/02/09
never tried truffles or waygu, soon enough i plan to

Truffles and foie gras

Now that someone mentioned whale, it occurs to me that I'd like ("like" being a desire that likely won't be acted upon) to try the meat of all kinds of endangered and rare animals!

Any type of exotic mushroom that I haven't tried. (which is quite a few)
I'm a huge mushroom fan. It's just that the more exotic they get, the more expensive!

black truffles
lobster sashimi
don perignon
sweetbread
@junie - fiddlehead ferns are a must try! I love them! Alligator is no biggie but you should try it.
@mikaque - osso bucco is a dish that is rich and delicious but only when cooked correctly. Make sure your fist time is quality!
What an interesting post dbcurrie! GJob

I have had most foods that I have wanted to taste, but I would like to try Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and a number of the other grand cru burgundies . . . preferably IN Burgundy.
Mizbee at 12:52PM on 03/02/09
The foods I am keenly interested in trying can't be gotten in the US as they are controversial like whale (Japanese style), dog (Korean style), and rats (Thai style).
Stuff that I can get in the US would be elk (I've had deer - how different is it from deer?) and blue crab...I'm sure there are other things, but that's all I can think of atm.
Cassaendra at 1:19PM on 03/02/09
@junie -- I tried fiddlehead ferns a while back and they were a huge disappointment for me. I thought they would be tender and taste of spring, but they were bitter and ick. I hope your experience with them is better, because they are so interesting looking!
I've never tried foie, and I'd like to just to see what all the fuss is about.
juliebugsmama at 3:08PM on 03/02/09
@Cassaendra-Elk is much better then deer, I'm sure youcould find it in a restaurant in your area or order it online. It's farm raised in many parts of the country.

Real Kobe or wagyu beef (i've had the inexpensive "kobe", it doesn't count)
Bouillabasse in France
deep fried insects
frogs legs
Just-caught soft shell crabs
Embackus at 4:19PM on 03/02/09
haggis, liver, & quail eggs
btw, i really hope that everyone does get to try the things you listed-foie gras, frogs legs, caviar, truffles, duck fat, marrow, sweetbreads, etc are some of my very favorite things...you won't be disappointed! it's almost like hearing that your friend hasn't seen a particular favorite movie or something & you want them to see it instantly, y'know? 'you don't know what you're missing!' :)

Durian. I must know!

@Amandarama....Oh Durian. My roommate got one in an Asian grocery over Christmas break and brought it back for us to try. No one wanted to open the bag. So it sat on our counter for a week...and began leaking some sort of liquid that smelled like rotten trash. All I could do was gag, triple bag it and throw it away. I was scared to even open the bag LOL.
sweethunibabi at 7:12AM on 03/03/09
Gooseberries.
pjracz10 at 10:25AM on 03/03/09
I adore durian. Honestly, it's like a sweet, vanilla-onion creamy kind of thing. The stench (like sewage and sulfur in my opinion) makes it tough to actually get it past your nose into your mouth, but once it's there...yummy!
I have always wanted to try gooseneck barnacles (percebes I think?). I can't figure what part one eats, but everyone I have ever talked to who has eaten them loves them.

Off the top of my head...
Haggis
"Miracle fruit", which I hate to admit because I dislike "trendy" things.
Morels
@Junie I had alligator once and it reminded me of chicken. No kidding. The idea of eating is kind of cool. Cajun restaurants serve it.
CanadianFoodieGirl at 11:54AM on 03/04/09
On the subject of durian, it smells. A lot.
As an ice cream lover and non-New Yorker, I totally want to try that cereal soft serve at Momofuku Milk Bar.
runnereater at 12:26PM on 03/04/09
Am I the only one who thinks durian's stench isn't so bad?
Maybe on a hot, humid, Southeast Asian day the stench can get pretty thick, but otherwise its just a smell...an unusual smell, but not so bad that you had to hold your breath around or even worse, retch at smelling it.
I think durian's reputation for being a stinker is all over hyped. The taste is funky and way rich and not something I can eat gobs and gobs of, but its taste is as intriguing and complex as its odor.
Anyway...I've yet to try, but would like to:
Sweetbreads
Fresh truffles (not from a jar, not in the form of oil/salt, etc)
Boudin
Raw milk cheese
Gooseneck barncles (as mentioned above!)
Bear meat (don't know why this intrigues me so)
Wild strawberries
