Oxtails, beef tongue, beef kidney.

My mom used to make good ox tail soup.  In Spain, they call it "rabo de toro," and tend to serve it after bull fights.

I don't consider frog legs weird. I've eaten a ton of them and they're quite tasty, like chicken wings. Damn near exterminated the whole pond on the property and the ones that survived my pellet gun succumbed to a drought one year when the pond completely dried up.
Graveur, how is durian? I've wanted to try that sometime. Is it true that it smells like rotting flesh but tastes amazing?

  
     the local chinese food buffet serves frogs legs.  i thought they were great as well.  same with the octopus-- greek style, grilled with butter is great, but most important is the cooking time.  overcooked and its a rubber band. 
   
    the durian?  if youve got an asian supermarket in your area, pop in there and see if they have it in the frozen section.  the smell is like rotten garlic and onion and the taste was awful to me.  my father and i tried it, and i was shocked that he thought it tasted good (much like the rest of the asian world).  its very similar to any fruit in the breadfruit (artocarpus) family w/r/t the internal layout.  there are far better tropical fruits to sample first, IMO.

Goat eye. <shrug> what was I gonna do? The deal was worth some serious bucks.
Growing up, I learned Poles were big on calf brains and scrambled eggs. As I got older, I'd gag on the smell. No part left unused was their motto.
