Unusual Gourmet Food # 1 - Live Maine Lobsters

Everyone’s favorite seafood is now easier than ever to find! Who ever thought it would be possible to find LIVE lobsters, of all sizes, shopping from the comfort of your living room? Well now you can, and that is the definition of unusual.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 2 - Reindeer

Even if they’ve never tried it, most people have heard of venison (deer) meat. Well, take it to the next level of uniqueness with reindeer! You know meat is unusual when it is listed as an alternative to Caribou. Reindeer is said to have a distinct flavor similar to red deer venison.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 3 - Ostrich Kabobs

People who say all poultry tastes like chicken never met this bird. Ostrich is actually a red meat more similar in taste and texture to beef. Sounds delicious, right? Now try it on a kabob! For the health conscious out there, ostrich has less cholesterol and fewer calories than chicken, turkey, pork or beef.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 4 - Kobe Hot Dogs

Kobe beef is known for being the richest and most delicious beef out there, however, it is more commonly associated with burgers and steaks. So this kobe beef-hot dog combination is clearly unusual. If you love hot dogs, just thinking about the taste must make your mouth water.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 5 - Original Pheasant Jerky

You’ve never had jerky quite like this before! Step away from those typical beef and turkey jerky and give pheasant jerky a bite. If jerky is not your thing, of course you can also find just pheasant online too.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 6 - Bison Prime Rib

Prime rib, with more protein and less fat? Who wouldn’t sign up for that? That’s exactly what you’re getting with bison prime rib: four lbs. of tender delicious meat all coming from a healthier source. You will have to search long and hard to find a gourmet dinner like this at any restaurant.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 7 - Seafood Boudi

There are so many delicious gourmet seafoods, and if you combine four of them you can’t go wrong. That’s exactly what you get with this tasty Cajun combination of crawfish tails, catfish, crab and shrimp. Pack these four gourmet delights in sausage casing and you have seafood boudin. It sure it sounds usual, but it is delicious.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 8 - Mango licorice

Gourmet consumers often shy away from the unique taste of black licorice even if they may like the texture of the candy. Mango licorice is here to give that texture the sweet fruity flavor you may enjoy in other candies. You won’t find any mango licorice in a bin of your local candy shop, but you can online.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 9 - Maple salsa

Different regions are clearly known for their different flavors. This salsa brings together two of the most distinctly different regions of cuisine: the cold maple flavor of Vermont and the bold spicy flavors of the Latino culture. You might be skeptical of this combination, but this maple salsa is just delightful.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 10 - Maine Wild Blueberry BBQ Sauce

BBQ sauces are usually sweet or spicy, but this condiment gets all its flavor naturally from delicious Maine wild blueberries. You won’t find this specialty food down the aisle of your local grocery story, that’s for sure.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 11 - Cinnamon Pear Maple Syrup

Pure gourmet maple syrup is always better than those sugary imitation syrups, but who says that pure maple syrup has to be plain? This syrup has a whole stick of cinnamon in each bottle and is also infused with pears.

Unusual Gourmet Food # 12 - PB & J Sammies

A good peanut butter and jelly sandwich can take you back to your childhood. This is a new take on that same time-honored tradition: two delicious peanut butter cookies with raspberry jelly sandwiched in the middle. Those cookies are much more unusual than bread, and these sammies make for a delicious sounding treat, don’t they?
