Most Unconventional Animal You've Eaten

I'm Floridian so I've had alligator.
It's not bad; tastes like very gamey chicken.

stingray cakes (like crab cakes , but with stingray meat) , tasted like crab cakes , but were a little bit tougher
river rat (aka coypu) , cooked on a skillet with red onions , it tasted like nothing else I've ever had , it was very tender
snake , it was grilled over a fire , tasted like chicken , like a very bony chicken

Shark sashimi. Tastes like fish.

Ostrich. Pretty good

MD in the US. They were marketing stingray for a while as a thing to eat in the states around the Chesapeake Bay. The Cownose rays that live in it eat clams and oysters and those are seeing a decline in population currently. So they tried to get people to eat the rays in hopes that it'd help the clam and oyster population grow.

Never really caught on and they took some flack because stingrays take a long time to reproduce so they'd be quickly overfished. Alone it was kinda stringy and tough. Tasted alright in curry though.

Alligator; like vinegary, sort of marshy chicken.

Ostrich; gamey poultry. Good but unremarkable.

Zebra; Gamey beef. Alright, but wouldn't go out of my way to eat again.

Kangaroo and Crocodile

When I was in Korea I went into this hole in the wall place that "claimed" they cooked cat. Not sure if it was or wasn't but it was ok nothing to cry about.

dem kidney beans

mine was probably bear

I ate a puffin at a restaurant in Iceland.
Pretty nice but there was a rather large bill at the end of the meal

For me it is the McChciken the best fast food sandwich

It's illegal to cook cat in Korea so I assume you went to those shady places or they were just fucking with you.

My weirdest was goat testicles.

Armadillo. It was trying to dig under my house and wouldn't leave even when I beat it with a pole, so I shot it, dressed and slow roasted it. Tasted like a gamey pork roast. Not bad actually, but a bitch to clean dress out.

The trick with meme foods is eating it on your own time.

...

Rattlesnake.

It was....okay.

I ate dog in Korea.

Tasted like gamey beef, looked like shredded pork. Wasn't that interesting.

It's illegal for a lot of shit in Korea. That doesn't stop them from doing it. It's illegal to view porn there but do you think that stops people? Besides I wasn't convinced it was legit cat anyways. Buddy of mine took me there because he believed it.

8/10 made me chuckle

...

i had donkey soup in china. it was out of this fucking world no lie

not bad

Alligator. Breaded like calamari served with garlic butter like lobster. Pretty good nothing exceptional.

I don't believe you. You would get sick eating bear meat.

Ate stir fry with jellyfish and a deep fried starfish both in Beijing.
The jellyfish was like eating salty plastic since there's really not much to them. It was the cowls with all the tentacles and innards removed.
The deep-fried starfish is street-vendor tourist trap food. When you deep fry a starfish it turns into basically nothing but minerals. It was like eating salty pumice stone.

I ate possum, coon, squirrels, cardinals and jays when I was homeless sleeping innawoods. Basically anything i shot with my .22

>I was homeless sleeping innawoods
Storytime!

>be trailer trash
>lose job because drinking
>get drunk and fought the landlord
>kicked out of trailer park
>raised my tent in the woods right next to the park
>detox innawoods
>live like that for two months until I ran out of bullets
>went to a friend for a place to shower and shave, got a job and an advance on first check after i explained situation
>got into an apartment all in the same day, same day I left the woods
I still just boil the shit out of meat

I ate camel in Bahrain. Tastes like beef but has a stringiness like turkey. It was pretty good but I imagine it's a Middle East speciality

this
and crocodile
it's kind of chicken-flavored-fish

itt things that didn't happen

that looks my Wini-pig.

I am sad at you OP guineas are great pets.

I get that a lot

Is that you Nick?

?

only if you eat it raw

Ayyy

Are you talking about alligator? If crocodile tastes the same, then sign me up

Horse, while I was in Tokyo

It was good, very tender. Served raw.
High quality like the beef is in Japan.
Not cheap, but I was on vacation so why not?

>What's the most unconventional animal you've eaten?
>horse

I'm sure you eat horse all the time

American-Panamanian mix here.
Had pigeon in Panama before, tastes like a gamey chicken. Also have had iguana, didn't know it was iguana til my mom told she and I felt terrible for the lizard, but would've been worse if I wasted it.

me too. chilli grilled stingray in Singapore. Was so good.

Ate jellyfish in Japan, also ate candied locusts and all the usual weird Japanese shit there too.

>Alligator
>Kangaroo
>Camel
>Rattlesnake

They all taste familiar to chicken or beef but worse. I'd try them again if someone recommended a place or if I was travelling and it was a part of the cultural cuisine. Only one I go back to on a semi-regular basis is gator tail, but that's just because I'm from Florida and people always want to try it.

Bear jerky is the only unconventional thing I can say I've had, and I'm not even sure about it. Came from Canada.

Lived in Japan, so: raw horse, whale, chicken cartilage, jellyfish, fish gonads, snake wine, fugu. Probably more, but that's what I remember at the moment.

That's hardly exotic.
You could find a puff in at any restaurant in Betty Bay.

no, sorry

No you don't. The liver is unsafe to eat though.

cricket

Enjoy your leprosy

What crazy shit can I find on Mexico to eat? I'm going there next month
Something other than Dorilocos of course

>jellyfish
Just a salty chewy mess

Did you catch leprosy?

Anthrax grows in the wild down in Mexico. Be careful.

Trichinella if it's raw nigga

And what does anthrax taste?

There's only one way to find out. Be sure to report back after your trip.

Human meat.
Fat fellow he was.
Mustachioed law enforcement type.
I consumed his liver with some farva beans.
And a litre of chianti.

I tried bbq dog in Vietnam about 4 months ago...Not tasty and seeing people ride around on mopeds with dogs/cats/kittens in chicken cages / whole roasting them was a sad sight. 0.5 / 5 stars.Cat i passed on but looked like a big roasted rat

Shark fin soup was pretty good but it was more the flavoring they used. Had the texture of soft tendon. 2.5 / 5 stars

I tried a shaved piece of whale as well in japan .Very expensive think of a pack of prosciutto except you only get 2 - 4 slices....Fucking delicious although greasy. 4.0 / 5...would be good on a meat & cheese plate

Horse..I bought it from a grocery store deli bbq in Tokyo, tasted like really chewy/ cheap steak. 3.5 /5 would eat again.

>Fat fellow
>Mustachioed law enforcement
>farva beans.
>litre of chianti.

Kek.

You sure you didn't buy the mock version?

not sure if it's unconventional but i've had fried alligator tail meat, Flash fried baby calamari (both at a Louisiana style restaurant) Ive also eaten buffalo many times and once at my dads Christmas party at work someone made it in a chilli. Eaten eel at sushi before along with fish eggs.

Did you have to try a few times before you found someone who would hire you?

this

after cooked

Stingray is pretty based.

Muskrat (roasted whole, tasted very game-y), Beaver (very iron-y tasting didn't like), ooligan grease (greasy, fishy and coats your mouth)

Canadian?

Thanks for breaking that down for us.

>It was good, very tender. Served raw.
>High quality like the beef is in Japan.
You lie.

Horsemeat is like low quality beef. It's only suited to stews.

Not all horsemeat comes from old horses that were slaughtered just before they died of old age.

Also, like any other animal different cuts have different textures. A hard-working muscle will be tough while one that sees little work will be tender. And if you slice any muscle thin enough (like the japs do) it will be very tender.

You are just making it up.

Horse meat has never been gourmet, even horse steaks are not really on any Michelin star menu because the meat is low-grade.

You can pretend that you have eaten fantastic rare horse-meat in Japan all you like but you are lying.

I've eaten horse meat many times and it's more suited to stewing or sausages, please don't lie . . .it's not nice.

They're not in US restaurants because people freak out.

>Horse meat is lean, typically, and relatively tender. Older horses are considered to have the most tender meat -- different than say veal from a cow.

He may be lying, but I'm sure SOMEONE has had tender, rare horse meat in Japan.

I usually eat wild rabbit

I've had mine in stew and meatpies kangaroo is really good meat.

Why does everything have to taste like chicken? It's a more chewy shrimp.

What's jellyfish taste like?

Maggots and flying termites in Belize, both were still alive.

Beaver. It smelled godawful but tasted surprisingly good. Tasted like beef with a kind of cedar chip flavor to it. I'd eat it again if I knew where to get some

salty plastic

Crocodile (not sure if this would be the correct translation) , stingray, dog, shark and I think I might have had a bit of human but in not sure.
I went on a trip to Amazonia, spent some time in Manaus eating at places that had really weird meats and dishes, then spent a week exploring the rivers.
The people who live in the forest are actually really nice, will trade modern packaged sweets for other foods or handmade accessories. Some might invite you to their village, one of the ones I went to had flat screen TVs.

Bullshit. Basashi (raw horse) is popular and tasty in Japan. I've had it at expensive sushi restaurants (basashi nigiri). I didn't ask about the age of the horse or its pedigree, but it was tender and delicious.

Yes. Me.

Pic related, not my pic though.

The guy enjoy said salty plastic is close. I'd say salty 4-day old jello.

A bit of armadillo, don't remember what it tasted like since I was a kid, and no I didn't get leprosy, my parents only let me eat a bite (it was at one of their friend's place and they only ate around a bite too).

>, but it was tender and delicious.
I get sick to death of little kiddies who just spend nearly 2 hours searching Google to try and prove their point rather than speak from real experience.

I've had alligator, alpaca, turtle soup, black tip and nurse shark.

Fuck you. I'm 40 and lived in Japan for 5 years, before people felt the need to take pictures of every piece of food they eat. Quit projecting, asshat.

Horse meat is not Gourmet or 'delicious' . .. .who are you trying to fool?

I lived in Japan for 200 years, stop your lying.

Ok. Well I'm done feeding trolls delicious horse meat.

Just stop lying.
Horsemeat is eaten in many countries, we know what it tastes like, it's not uncommon. Just because you are an American weeaboo it doesn't mean it tastes better in Japan.

beaver meat. I had it at a ukrainian birthday, so honestly I don't remember it too well (vodka stereotype holds true), but it was good, maybe like beef.
I've had deer heart too, was not bad, reminded me of liver
