Ostrich is delicious. I’ve eaten it in a restaurant once and cooked it myself two or three times. It tastes like a red meat, but cooks like white meat, so you have to be careful because it can overlook in a snap.
Years ago, we got a huge case of Slim Jim's that said they were made with ostrich, instead of the usual beef and pork. Tasted like Slim Jim's. So there's that.
deer - clean but mineraly, also lean
goat - like lamb but more barn flavor
alligator - like chicken pork fish
frog legs - like chicken fish
goat testes - like the white of an egg but kinda musty (would not eat again)
snails - chewy
crawfish - tastes like a "muddier" lobster
shark fin soup - had it once in a restaurant decades ago, it was kinda gelatinous but slightly sticky
sea urchin - I didn't like this, but the ones I've seen in sushi restaurants look different (paler) than the ones I see fresh from the ocean, so it might be a freshness thing
eel - fatty and denser meat similar to the texture of mahi mahi
wagyu - I've had a few slices of this before, and I find it overrated (I find steak in general overrated). However I had it seared on a pan and it was thinly sliced already so it might've just been too nuked to taste good
Horseshoe crab in Ho Chi Min city. It was alright. Not much meat.
Mind you I've eaten a lot of stuff that could be considered exotic. Jellyfish is pretty good.
I had a duck egg containing a baby duck in HCM. It was ok. I stopped when it got crunchy.
I can get you exotic meats. Hippo steaks, giraffe burgers…
It'll all be goat.
Cuy , a large hamster rodent. Better than rabbit. In Bolivia.
I don't remember the name but fried ants and spiders in laos .
Surströmming , fermented herring In Sweden. Properly served it's great.
Alligator, crocodile pretty ok.
Just to say I have eaten long pig. I cut off a piece of myself and ate it.
Bear sausage ,reindeer ,elk,deer etc..
Most seafood, shark , crawfish .
Callos ( not recommended )
Someone mention beef tounge , smoked and thinly sliced on a sandwich is great if you don't overthink it :)
Isn't cuy just guinea pigs? Like weren't they domesticated for meat, but became common as pets later?
Yea that's right , guinea pigs the right word , in some European languages Marsvin (sea pig)
Wait wtf? You've eaten yourself?! Why even, and which part? Also why?!
Young drunk and punk. Just a very small price of my ear :) kind of a check this out guys .... Haha
I had some moose that was given to me by my friend who was present at his friends moose hunt. They had to break the animal down at the location and make multiple meat sack trips to the game warden for tagging. The warden said they hadn't seen someone do it like that for a century.
Fun facts, back in the day people would often move their entire camps to the site of a moose kill rather than trying to transport the body any distance, it was easier to pack up and move everyone than drag a moose through the forest and brush
I believe it. Once big work horses were more available, people stopped tearing down the moose on-location and just dragged it home. In more modern times, they'll use a 4x4. This particular area was extremely rutted so they couldn't get anything wheeled back there, and where do you even find a Clydesdale rental service this day and age?
Bear, when travelling in Sweden. It was smoked, I believe, and served on a sandwich. No particularly distinguishable taste, but it was very lean and easily fell apart when bitten. Turned vegetarian not long after, lol.
Gator sausage is pretty good, it either has a bit of a natural spice or takes well to spices, not sure cause I only had it once
I had fried gator and it was actually a pretty nice meat all considered - it had that "freshwater fish" taste that I kinda dislike but otherwise it was sort of a softer-textured chicken.
Reindeer in a restaurant in Helsinki. It was good, a lot like beef. The reindeer were farmed, so it wasn't too tough or gamey.
growing up in back country Montana I had a lot of things. hunting/trapping/fishing is still a way of life for folks, less so now but growing up I had bison, squirrel, gopher, wild turkey, grouse, beaver, bear, deer, elk, moose, antelope once when we visited the other side of the state, basically all species of fish, even snake a few times.
I think the most exotic of all of it was probably the beaver tail. it's really fatty/oily. it wasnt bad but I wouldnt eat very often even if it was readily available. venison or bison is more my style, or smoked brook trout.
It is not recommended to eat a bear at all, no matter how properly it is cooked, there is always a risk of infection from it. In Russia (Siberia) I generally prefer not to touch, kill, etc. Is the meat disgusting in taste and texture same with wool and skin? It stinks like a dog and you can't get rid of it anywhere, Only young animals for the skin.... Well, or to sell Chinese, they are able to give special magic to various organs, bile, horns, hooves, etc.
I'm a vegetarian myself, but I don't judge. Evolutionarily speaking, without humans eating meat, there was no way for humans to spread across the globe. We don't need to eat meat now, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't eat meat ever. I'm against the meat industry and their horrible animal abuse practices though.
A patty from McDonald's; I'd rather not do that again.
Jokes aside, I've had abalone and it was absolutely fantastic. A Singaporean colleague of mine got it for me from Singapore and I still remember how awesome it was.
Dragonfruit meat. Why are so many people here pretending it's normal to interpret this as being about animal corpses???
it's the english word for animal flesh eaten as food
if you ask "is there any meat in this" you are not asking about dragonfruit
yeah man I get it you're a vegan stop pretending you don't know what the word meat means.
if people eat it for sustenance it's food
just say you're morally opposed to eating meat these word games are some reddit tier shit
if people eat it for sustenance it's food
that's a pretty shitty definition of food which includes humans and dogs
yes to a cannibal humans are food. I morally disagree with people killing and eating other humans but if they do those people become food
while we're being all
about definitions, let me point out that in English, the word "food" implies that something should be eaten, not only that it can be. for example, the classic finding nemo line, "Fish are friends, not food."look man I don't think this conversation is going anywhere so I'm going to disengage.
Don't call me smuglord when you were the one pretending to not know the meaning of the word meat
im not "pretending" anything, im making a point about horrible crimes people here thoughtlessly commit. you're the one desperate to prove you're a big boy who knows the meanings of basic english words and "prove me wrong" about things that are not related to the point you and i both know im making.
- wherever English is spoken and 2. mm, I'd say barbarians of any kind actually, but im not sure how that's related
