what's exotic?

So one definition for coconut suggests it's a fruit:

The fruit of the coconut palm, consisting of a fibrous husk surrounding a large seed.

Wondering if coconut is exotic enough? One of my favorite dishes is sticky rice with coconut milk and bananas. Great combination.

OK, so coconut doesn't seem to qualify as exotic. But I think I'm up to another one.

Blood orange. I've seen a few recipes that use this for sauces and once had eggs benedict made with a blood orange hollandaise sauce.

I would classify it as tropical, which, in my mind is exotic...

Yum! Sticky rice! I love it with mangos, too. Good stuff.
