If I were going to add things to this list I think I would add fresh morel mushrooms. Also drinking a coconut from the nut and then eating some of the flesh (surprisingly easy even in a place like Colorado). Also rather than durian I think everyone should try a cherimoya (aka custard apple). Also poached wild salmon or any freshly caught fish. And melted butter and velveta over popcorn. And now I'm really hungry.

I think I was supposed to add you to my friends list, like, 2 years ago...

Better late than never? :-)

Go to Florida; they have crocodile there. Tastes like chicken. ^^ Frog's legs are also pretty easy to find in Virginia, so I'll assume you can get them in Florida, as well.
