Guests at the annual Explorers Club dinner, held March 16 at New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel, excitedly surveyed the exotic appetizers on offer.
Canapes topped with worms and crickets were just some of the strange offerings at the exotic appetizers hour.
Among the delicacies was a dish featuring goat penis - perhaps a delicacy somewhere?
The Explorers Club carving station featured meats such as muskrat, beaver and goat - oh my!
Guests at the Explorers Club dinner also got in touch with exploration history by sampling a replica of the whisky brought to the Antarctic during Ernest Shackleton's 1907 "Nimrod" expedition.
Rattlesnake Sliders seemed to be popular. Sometimes a familiar hamburger bun goes a long way.
Madagascar hissing cockroaches ... taste like chicken?
Though enticingly prepared, fritters made of goat testicles weren't exactly flying off the plate.
Exotic edibles weren't limited to the appetizer hour; dessert offerings at the Explorers Club included cupcakes topped with crickets.
