What's the most exotic meat you've eaten?

[Fleischer]

Cow brain

I'm surprised I haven't seen "pussy," so I'm going to say pussy.

As in pussy-cats. Felis catus. And NOTHING ELSE.

... Beaver is also tasty.

Kangaroo meat. But it isn't considered that exotic here in Australia. Tasted like beef.

I'm pretty ignorant of Australian culture, are kangaroos a commonly farmed animal? Ive never considered it before, I just assumed it was similar to deer in my area. An animal mostly left alone aside from hunting season and uncommonly farmed for meat.

They aren't farmed, but wild kangaroos are hunted in specific areas by commercial hunters. I'm not sure if there is a kangaroo hunting season though.

I had frog once. That was actually really, really good. Seriously tastes like chicken.

Slightly off-topic, my dream meat is panda. I just want to be able to say I've eaten the most famous endangered species ever.

AWESOME! I make a hobby of trying interesting meats when I can, never expected to see a forum topic on it, so here goes:

Horse
Rat
Snake (don't know type)
Dog
Emu
crocodile
Pigeon
Crocodile
Bear (thought it was disgusting)
turducken (which practically counts as an exotic meat in it's own right)

And I've always wanted to try lean pork.

 

[Spydercake]

Hmm, gator and snake. Both were pretty disgusting.
My Grandmothers cooking. *right around the time my Koi fish pond got raided*

Pig tongue? Failing that, sheep brain or chicken heart.

 

[The Rookie Gamer]

Deep fried squid, and eel sushi. Both were delicious. I've also had alligator jerky.

 

[King Toasty]

Chicken heart. Trust me on this, guys. It doesn't taste like chicken.

 

[King Toasty]

Deep fried squid, and eel sushi. Both were delicious. I've also had alligator jerky.

Deep fried squid ain't too exotic, at least not in Canadaland. Calamari is delicious.

I've had moose and gator meat. That's as weird as it gets for me. Moose is like really salty beef, and gator is... well, weird.

 

[Donbett1974]

Frog legs really does taste like chicken.

 

[00slash00]

tofu....

Dude, you shouldn't eat crocodiles. Many breeds are endangered, like the saltwater crocodile, and hunting these crocodiles, whether it be for their skin or their meat is illegal (and of course unethical). Therefore the meat industry that profits from these reptiles should not be supported.

It could be argued that NO meat industry should ever be supported, but yeah you get the picture.

This thread is probably not the place to preach vegetarianism considering we are talking about what MEAT we have eaten. Just saying.

OT: I've eaten crocodile, alligator, eel, deer, frog. I think that is it.

EDIT: Oh yeah buffalo.

I live in Korea so I have to go with dog. It tastes like pot roast, not impressed.

Also:
Deer

Moose
Elk
Reindeer
Pheasant
Ostrich
Emu
Wild Turkey
Aligator
Boar
and a bunch of other stuff.

Kangaroo, honestly if cooked right... ...Beautiful.

 

[starslasher]

For me, the most exotic meat that i have tasted would have to be kangaroo. It tasted like beef, except thinner/leaner.

Kangaroo meat. But it isn't considered that exotic here in Australia. Tasted like beef.

Well, i haven't seen it displayed as much around here. But then again, maybe it's featured more prominently in the eastern cities than here in perth.

 

[Pat8u]

kangaroo it tasted like steak and its better for you and for the environment

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

Hmm.. Guini Pig, Llama, Aligator, Shark, Dog, Ant, Possum, Cow Eyes..
