What does exotic mean?
Something that is 'exotic' to one person, may be commonplace to another.
Take Jo's haggis. I don't consider haggis to be in the least exotic. I ate it around once a week when I was kid and after leaving home at 18 maybe once a month.
My neighbours don't consider bees to be exotic, but think cheese is outrageously exotic.
