Foods I want to try eventually

As you may well know, I have a fascination for foods which most might find strange or unusual. I've been thinking about this, and have come up with a list of foods I would like to try sometime in my life.

1- Century Egg
This ancient Chinese delicacy is essentially an egg that has been preserved for several months in a clay and herb mixture that is specially formulated in order to promote a sort of "controlled spoilage" inside the egg, fermenting the contents into a savory compound surrounded with slime. It looks rather horrendous, but allegedly tastes wonderful. As the concept of such a state fascinates me, I actually want to try it, regardless of whether or nor I can stand the sight of the stuff. I'll save further judgment for when I actually have the opportunity to try one.

2- Durian
This fruit native to southeast Asia is often referred to as the "King of Fruits." It's surrounded in thorns, it supposedly smells awful, but behind these rather formidable defenses lies a custard-like filling that has been described by several sources as the best thing they have ever tasted. As a man, I don't mind fowl smelling things, so this one shouldn't be a problem for me... however, finding some in Midwest America might prove to be more than difficult.

3- Truffles
I am a fan of edible fungus, so this should be right up my alley. With a complex flavor which has been described as being similar to almonds, garlic, chocolate, sunflower seeds, etc., it seems to be a rather versatile ingredient in the kitchen.... if only SOMEONE WOULD AGREE ON WHAT THE HELL THEY TASTE LIKE!!! I think the reason why there are so many differing opinions on the taste of truffles is because they are so expensive that no one has actually ever eaten them... Just once, I'd like to try them just to find out what the big fuss is all about.

4- Snake
As common as these critters are, and as supposedly delicious their meat is, one must wonder why they're not a more common source of food. Granted, there are certain difficulties encountered in the raising of them as a livestock animal, including but not limited to the fact that many species are poisonous, and the fact that they are incredibly difficult to keep confined... These factors make this something that I would have to catch for myself, if I could get my hands on one and properly identify it as a safe species that is...


That's all of them I can think of for now.
