Which types of exotic meat would you try?

[Sikeliot]

Multiple choice! :thumb001:

No judgments. I am legitimately curious.

I understood the question in the same way:p

[Leadchucker]

Already have eaten snake,turtle,alligator,crocodille,bear,shark,frog, buffalo plus emu,ostrich,muskrat and lots of deer,wild turkey,rabbit and squirrel

[Äike]

reindeer isn't exotic at all, it's normal food here.

[Absinthe]

I voted "horse" cause I've already eaten once. Didn't like it. Wouldn't eat anything from this list... :p

[The Ripper]

Of those options, I've had horse, bear and reindeer. I would try everything at least once. :cool:

[Lena]

I voted "horse" cause I've already eaten once. Didn't like it. Wouldn't eat anything from this list... :p

I also tried horse meat once and disliked it, while frog and ray fish wings are something absolutely delicious :).

[Trun]

Human meat.
Tasted fabulous.

[Waidewut]

In Latvia we have smoked sausages called "beer cigars", of which I am very fond of.
Once while eating them I started to examine the ingredients and noticed they are like 50/50 pork/horse meat :eek:.

A relative of mine is a hunter, so I have ate wild animal meat like deer and boar, though these aren't so exotic, I think.

[rhiannon]

When I was a child, my father made it a habit of killing our dinner more often than not. He had a farm and raised chickens, rabbits, and goats.

We ate a lot of rabbit. It never sat well with me, as being a little girl, I loved rabbits and thought they were adorable. He also made us eat goat....which was equally distasteful to me.

Meats I have eaten because he forced us to are:
Rabbit (gross)
Goat (gross)
Dove (the bird) (gross...not to mention we got sick off it)
Duck (gross)
Shark (meh)

Meats I've eaten on my own as an adult out of curiosity sake:
Buffalo (tastes like beef overall)
Venison (not fond of it)
Eel (won't ever eat that shit again)

Pretty much, I won't be eating any freaky meats anymore.....my childhood was enough for me.....so no escargot, calmari, octapus, squid, dog, cat, dolphin, etc.......uh uh. I get a gag reflex just thinking about it....

Meats I like are:
Beef
Buffalo
Chicken (dark meat only)
Turkey
Occasional pork.....but hardly ever
Shrimp
Scallops
Fish
Mussels
Clams
Abalone
Oysters

[Sally]

As a child, I was forced to eat snake (!) and frog by my first step-mother. The frog wasn't so bad, but the snake was...quite vile. Over 30 years later, I still remember the taste. I don't even want to think about where the snake came from!

I've also tried (small) bites of duck and venison, but I've never really even liked meat all that much, except for some chicken or lean ground beef once in a while. If I never ate meat again, I'd be completely happy, and I wouldn't miss it at all.

[Magyar the Conqueror]

I ticked
Snake
Turtle
Alligator
Shark
Kangaroo
Frog
Lion

I already had Bear and deer, absolutely delicious.
The local village hunter shot down a deer and brought my family a big chunk of it.
We made goulash from it, probably the most delicious goulash I had so far.

[dralos]

horse,but that's not really exotic for me,i eat it almost everyday,it's very healthy

[Eldritch]

Snake: :hungry:, liked it. Bonus: drank the snake's blood, too.

Turtle: :hungry:, liked it. A bit soggy tho, but okay in soup, which is how I had it.

Bear: :hungry: -- if sausages made of bear meat count.

Horse: :hungry: Restaurant Kivi on Helsinki's most notorious hooker street serves "Cossack steaks", recommended. :thumbs up

Reindeer: :hungry: Duh! Rudolf's proper place is on my plate.

Shark: :hungry: Hey, who doesn't love Hakarl (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/Hakarl_near_Bjarnahöfn_in_Iceland.JPG/800px-Hakarl_near_Bjarnahöfn_in_Iceland.JPG)?

Frog (legs): :hungry:

Bonus: I've also had whale in Norway, which I guess should be on the poll. I've also tried tried beaver tail boiled in milk, which was surprisingly good.

Of the items on the list I haven't tried, I would try kangaroo, camel and buffalo. I wouldn't eat guinea pigs, sorry.

[Incal]

I would like to try any kind of snake. A curious thing I've heard from people from the jungle: Once you eat snake meat, you won't be able to puke it no matter what.

[Queen B]

Reindeer and Buffalo, I guess

[Turkophagos]

They taste good.

[Richard]

Frog is normal here but not for me.

[Alvarado]

I didn't know that horse meat is considered "exotic" in other countries.

[Pallantides]

Horse and reindeer meat is exotic:confused:

[Queen B]

Horse and reindeer meat is exotic:confused:

Here, yes, we don't eat them.

[billErobreren]

I've already had a few of the list & I never was interested in dog, lion, cat, ginea pig(seems like a sad meal to me), camel & spider(though many insects are pure protein so maybe I should save the ones I kill:shrug:)

maybe more on the primate side: ring tailed monkey, gorilla, human, baboon etc. although I never did like pork so how good will people even be:grumpy:

[Damião de Góis]

I never had horse meat here but i live on the coast where seafood is more common. Still, cow, pig and chicken are the most common meats. Out of that list i would try Buffalo, Kangaroo (i imagine it would be similar to rabbit, which isn't exotic here) and maybe reindeer.

[Bard]

I'd eat everything (or at least I'd give it a try), beside cat and dog.
If I had to mention something exotic, I once ate pidgeon meat, it was not too bad.

[askra]

reindeer, horse (it's normal eats it here), donkey, wild boar, chamois, snails and hedgehog

[Sikeliot]

I have heard alligator and crocodile actually are so similar to chicken that in many instances you would not taste a difference.

[StonyArabia]

Camel meat is great, and it has a very unique taste to it. I had it a lot as kid, and not it's not exotic at all. I have had buffalo not much different than beef but it just feel better. From all those listed just Camels and Buffalo the rest don't set well with me, maybe if it was a kangroo but this how far I will take it.

[GeistFaust]

I have had Buffalo Burgers and they were good, and Reindeer and Bear meat does not sound too bad.

[Pallantides]

Here, yes, we don't eat them.

Well reindeer I can understand, but horses are available in all of Europe.

[Queen B]

Well reindeer I can understand, but horses are available in all of Europe.

So are cats, dogs, bears, snakes, turtles, spiders and frogs :lol:

[morski]

Fried shark-fillet is a regular thing here. Horse meat is used in home-made sausages.

[GeistFaust]

Spiders and other meaty bugs are good with chocolate; at least that is what my grandmother told me.

[Supreme American]

I eat buffalo. They sell it here in grocery stores. It's kind of similar to ground beef, just much more lean.

And next time I visit Florida, I'm making a b-line for the gator bites.

[Thunor]

I've eaten gator meat.

I also ate dog when I was in South Korea.

[Sikeliot]

I've eaten gator meat.

Did you think it tasted similar to chicken?

[Thunor]

Did you think it tasted similar to chicken?
It tasted like fish to me, but tougher to chew.

[Grumpy Cat]

The ones I checked, I have tried. I'd never try anything else on the list.

Alligator and buffalo are really good.

[Duke]

Snake.

I tried frog, snails, shark, cat(dont ask, it was in Italy).

[Byfånen]

I've eaten gator meat.

I also ate dog when I was in South Korea.

How did dog taste like?

[billErobreren]

It tasted like fish to me, but tougher to chew.

It tasted like that to me too, well they're both cold blooded & have the same stench when you skin them so it made sense to me at the time, it's the first I'm hearing of these chicken comparisons :confused:

[Sikeliot]

It tasted like that to me too, well they're both cold blooded & have the same stench when you skin them so it made sense to me at the time, it's the first I'm hearing of these chicken comparisons :confused:

One of my friends ate "crocodile tenders" (i.e. chicken tenders except crocodile meat and not chicken) and said you'd never know the difference.

[billErobreren]

One of my friends ate "crocodile tenders" (i.e. chicken tenders except crocodile meat and not chicken) and said you'd never know the difference.

They said the same thing about Green Iguana but I've never had those. They're a delicacy in Puerto Nasty...er...Rico now, they are eating them now because they've multiplied like rats there:lol:

[leisitox]

Eating shark and frogs is "exotic"? Really:confused:? I love shark, and some frog legs.:D

[Riki]

I tried Frog legs.Not bad.But not a meal.
Horse meat. I will never forgive myself.
Never tried anything else nor will try.

[Grumpy Cat]

It tasted like that to me too, well they're both cold blooded & have the same stench when you skin them so it made sense to me at the time, it's the first I'm hearing of these chicken comparisons :confused:

I thought it tasted like chicken. White meat.

[Sikeliot]

By the way some of you questioned what I listed as "exotic" meat.. for an American they are all exotic. :lol:

[leisitox]

By the way some of you questioned what I listed as "exotic" meat.. for an American they are all exotic. :lol:

Im with you with that opinion :thumbs up

[Sikeliot]

I want to try crocodile, shark, and reindeer.

[SwordoftheVistula]

I've eaten buffalo, bear, horse, and alligator. Would probably at least try most of the others if I came across them.

[Γέλως]

I didn't know that horse meat is considered "exotic" in other countries.
I didn't know that horses are eaten until a year ago. I'm 22 :/

[Heart of Oak]

It would have to be human! You see I'm Veggie and to get me to eat meat, it would have to be a special occasion maybe. Italian should be tastie...

[Sikeliot]

Btw for those of you who have eaten snake, what was it like?

[Grumpy Cat]

By the way some of you questioned what I listed as "exotic" meat.. for an American they are all exotic. :lol:

Buffalo is exotic to Americans? It's not all that uncommon in Canada, I thought it would be the same in the US.

In Canada, though, buffalo is very expensive so it's obvously not eaten often.

Rabbit, deer, caribou, and moose are consider "special occasion meats" in my family. We break it out around Christmas. Buffalo is served at a few high-end restaurants around here, so is boar.

[Grumpy Cat]

Btw for those of you who have eaten snake, what was it like?

Tastes like chicken.

[leisitox]

Tastes like chicken.

It seems that all the "exotic" meals taste like chicken :rolleyes2:

[Grumpy Cat]

It seems that all the "exotic" meals taste like chicken :rolleyes2:

Just rabbit, alligator, and snake.

Rabbit tastes like the dark meat, snake and alligator taste like the white meat.

[Supreme American]

I've eaten gator meat.

I also ate dog when I was in South Korea.

Can't be -- Orientals eating dog is a big racist lie from the round eye!

[Pallantides]

[Sikeliot]

Just rabbit, alligator, and snake.

Rabbit tastes like the dark meat, snake and alligator taste like the white meat.

Alligators and snakes, as reptiles, are actually related to birds (birds are much more closely related to reptiles than mammals) which may explain the similarity to some extent.

[Heart of Oak]

Most of the meats here are not really exotic are they?

[Corraidh]

Love black bear, shark and buffalo. From that list, that I haven't tried and would like to: probably snake? Looks pretty tasty.

[Heart of Oak]

The only two I've not eaten is Reindeer and Guinea pig I have eaten other...
Earth worm stew is cool with honey but then I like honey on most of natures egg n bacon.

[Loddfafner]

Spiders and other meaty bugs are good with chocolate; at least that is what my grandmother told me.

The last time 17 year cicadas emerged from the ground en masse, I googled for recipes and found, and tried, a few. The ones I covered were disgusting and were the only desert I ever made that stayed in the fridge uneaten. Those I stir fried were fine, like shrimp.

Of the options in the poll, I don't think buffalo or shark are exotic anymore in the US. I eat them regularly. Most game animals I have eaten at some point in my life. Bear I ate as a small kid when my family lived in a very remote part of Canada. Reindeer and moose are staples in Swedish restaurants. Frog I ate in France along with snails. I've had turtle soup, ostrich, and alligator in well-stocked specialty restaurants. I have not knowingly tried snake, horse, or kangaroo yet but am willing. I would consider eating a fried tarantula if I ever go to Cambodia just to say I had done it.

I would balk at eating cat or dog but have eaten in enough Chinese restaurants that, if there is any truth to the rumors, I have probably consumed some, or maybe it was ratmeat.

The one exotic food that is conspicuously missing from the poll is long pig.

[Heart of Oak]

We have a burger bar 2 miles away that sells buffalo burgers, kangaroo burgers, Ostrich and Boar burgers.
We have a tree here we call the "Egg n Bacon" tree as you can eat every part of it. Leaves, bark, pulp an roots.

[Christian552]

Preferably, none of those because they're all disgusting to me unless I was starving to death.

[Scrapple]

I have eaten snake, turtle, frog, alligator, buffalo, reindeer and would eat kangaroo and horse.

Asian souvlaki.

[Treffie]

I think the most exotic thing I've eaten is Swordfish. Looks like pork, tastes like...erm...a fish

We've all have tried it if we ever bit our nails at any point.
