As an archaeologist in Australia I travel about a bit in Aboriginal communities, and from time to time have eaten some of the most disgusting sounding things imaginable.
I have eaten Witchety Grubs (big thick grubs about the size of a mans thumb - taste like almonds though), bats, kangaroo intestine, goanna, emu, numerous other grubs and ants, bush turkeys, snake, numerous types of native fruits etc etc... Most of it was great... The only one I never warmed to was a grub from a particular Eucalyptus tree that tasted like...well...Eucalyptus oil. Hence the reason Aboriginal people never ate Koala (besides, too much Eucalyptus oil is poisonous to humans). And most ants taste like s**t too... Cheers Shaun
