For me it's ostrich. I've eaten a lot of elk and bison, but they're so easy to get in my area, I don't seem exotic (my mom's freezer is always full of bison hot dogs). I've eaten a lot of ostrich too. I had a roommate for several years who loved it and would cook with it all the time (mostly chilli, but he'd also make meatballs and other stuff with it).

My exwife and I once watched some people get served live shrimp at a fancy sushi restaurant. They were squirming around, trying to escape. They (the people) couldn't figure out what they were supposed to do with them. They asked the chef to demonstrate how to eat them, but he either misunderstood or was just like "lol, white people" and took them back, chopped their heads off, shucked their shells and returned them to the people.
