What OTHER kinds of animals can you eat????
 

Hey there...I was just wondering...what OTHER kind of animals taste good??? I've had frogs legs and deer and that's about it...this is excluding normal animals like cows and fish and stuff...I'm talking bout sharks and octopuss and other unusual, weird animal foods that taste good...anyone know of any??? THANX
C'YA ?:-D

I love octopus sushi, tasty and chewy. Fish eggs are quite good too, really salty (I have only had the real small kind, about a millimeter wide, never the large fat ones). I got adventurous one night and had some sea urchin sushi - it was a large (for a bitesize portion) brown mushy mass. I think it tasted like slightly sour fish, not that bad, but the visual appeal was lacking, which had an adverse effect, plus, since it was a large piece, it was hard to eat fast. No more sea urchin for me.
I have yet to try tuna eyes, and I don't know if I ever will (apparently they are a delicacy.
I tried liver (I forget if it was chicken or beef), but not a fan, it was very bitter and sour.
Yak meat is delicious. Tastes like beef.
That's it for the weird stuff.

I once ate turtle. I had it with some aboriginal people (native australians) They where living on a island, and mainly eating traditional aboriginal food. It was quite strange, but after the first few mouth full, it was really good. Very tender and easy to eat.

Anybody who reads my posts know that I am from station country. Outback West Oz. Born in 1961, in Perth, was back at the station before I turn 4 weeks old. Lived there 25 years.
As a kid we grew up with the Black-fellers, aborigines. They fed us all sorts of stuff. Kangaroo, emu, lizard, snake, camel, bustard (a large bird) etc. and also wild berries, wild onions, native bee honey, ants, wichety grubs, etc. About the only thing I don't think I ever got was wild cat, or feral pussy cat. Was not a lot of them about. My dad had some once. I don't ever recall not liking any of it. Mind you, now that I know where some of that stuff came from, no way am I eating it. Such as tripe, tougue, brains, Prairie oysters, etc

how about a chipmunk just takes alot of them to fill you up .

Mainly I just stalk the wild tofu these days. I've had mutton and goat and venison -- nothing too far out there. Jellyfish once, squid/calamari of course. I started eating liver for a while a few years ago, and while the taste wasn't great all that blood, iron, and protein really perked me up.

All kinds of wild/domestic birds (grouse, pheasant, pigeon, goose, duck, turkey, ostrich, gunia hen, partridge, coot, snipe, rail, quail, dove, I can't think of one that would not be tasty)

Small Mammals (squirrel, woodchuck, raccoon, rabbit, oppussum, beaver, etc. etc.)

Large Game (deer, elk, bear, moose, bufalo, antelope, caribo, aligator, elephant, lion, wild boar, kangaroo, all kinds of sheep & goats...some snakes & lizards)

Almost anything that is in the water...All shellfish, fish, eels, frogs, crustateans, whales, etc

I can't think of an unedible animal if prepared properly...and of course if you feel the need to kill the animal. I have eaten lion, giraffe, and elephant just to taste them...but I honestly hope no one feels the need to kill these magnificent animals for food(these were killed on an exotic hunting ranch for sport and the meat sold to restaruant in Brooklyn NY that specialized in exotic fare.

Tiger penis soup is a great aphrodisiac! very expensive though..

I *love* ostrich. Buffalo burgers are the choive very time for me if they're an option (except at Fuddruckers). Aligator is great - especially when it's cajun fried.

There's a place down the street from my office that has kangaroo sausage I've been interested in trying. Zooksport - help me out here. How's it taste?

I don't eat any cow any more. It's ostrich or antelope or elk or emu. I buy from this brick and mortar store in the local area. They've got a website too:
http://www.exoticmeats.com/

lamb, squid, jellyfish, duck, eel, shellfish are eaten more or less commonly

other animals include: ostrich, snake, shark [though I feel bad about it], frog legs [commonly as child], turtle, various odd looking fish

Sea urchin sushi is gnarly. I like eating octopus and squid, but those aren't really out of the ordinary I guess.

Turtles, snake, frog, shark (I used to love shark fin soup), geoduck (I think it's a type of ... oyster or something? looks like an alien worm monster). I've seen big fat frogs (live) in the meat dept of a Chinese supermarket. That was probably the saddest thing I've seen in the meat dept. I had goat curry at an Indian resturaunt. I was fairly experimental at one point but I've forgotten a lot of the crazy stuff I tried.

Lots of miscellaneous animal parts. I guess it doesn't count since it's a part of a pig but I used to eat loads of pig intestines and little cubes of pork blood.

My dad was all about putting chicken gizzards in just about everything at one time. Then it was abalone. My mom makes awesome Ox tail soup. And shredded jelly fish. What else....

everyone eat some KANGAROO!!!

i can´t recommend this enough.

I agree with Bundy. One proviso, though: if it doesn't come with beetroot, it's not 'roo. It's like a meat pie without sauce or a vegemite sandwich without bread; it's just not right.

i've had aligator and moose a few times. gator is like delicious chicken...

I've eaten many kinds of game birds like goose, duck, pheasant, grouse, quail and wild turkey.

I've also eaten snake, rabbits, deer, elk, moose, bear, cougar, antelope, bighorn sheep, wild goat. I'll take any of these wild meats over domestic beef or pork any day...especially if I'm the one that harvested it. (my deepfreeze is full:D)

As for seafood, I tend to love it all. From finfish and their eggs to any type of shellfish. Crustateans, eel, shark, sea urchin, caviar, the list is to long to go through. Raw or cooked, it doesn't matter to me. Just as with wild game, I prefere to catch or collect my own seafood.

I really can't think of anything I wouldn't be willing to try.

kangaroo or lamb =)

I've had grasshoppers, some game birds, shark, almost anything at the sushi bar including the eggs and sea urchin. What else, rabbit, gator tacos. That's the extent of the little more unusual things I've had. I'd be willing to try a lot of other things though.

i know the name may not sound appealing to most of you.. but theres this thing called "ballot" in filipino country which is a duck fetus inside an egg shell..boiled.. salted.. and eaten.. it was pretty good:)

All this talk has made me really hungry. Ive always wanted to eat wichty grubs. I wanted Mum to get them for my 21st but couldnt get them anywhere. I was watching this docco once where these Aboriginies ate moths. They just collected them and cooked them in this massive earth oven. They looked heaps nice

In 1973 I went on a High School trip to Moscow and Leningrad USSR. We were served the best french fries we ever tasted. They were cooked in whale oil.

Chocolate covered ants.

Some time ago(30 years), I witnessed (did not partake) my mother and her aunt eat fried squirrel brains mixed with scrambled eggs.
As a child, my sitter ate fried fish eggs. Battered and fried the entire egg sack.
Very strange.
Would you like to know why I don't eat internal organs(liver, kidneys, pancreas,etc)?
BECAUSE I DON"T HAVE TO!!!
Yet on the other hand. I love a good bowl of She-Crab soup.

I've had quail eggs and shark fin, but I've recently discovered that certain sharks are endangered as a result of this delicacy, so I don't know if I can eat the stuff anymore, not with a clear conscience.

I had a cooking teacher that said "If it moves, we can eat it". I haven't eaten much strange stuff myself, Emu, Buffalo and Rabbit are about the most exotic stuff I've gotten my hands on so far, but I'd be up for anything short of a Fear Factor stunt.

i guess growing up in the country im used to any number of animals....

i echo the statment

if it moves we can eat it

Splck is there anything you WON'T eat? LOL
I love escargots and pheasant...duck...I would LOVE some moose...venison, sushi...had bear, foie gras...yeah I know...yes, i have expensive tastes in food...

I've had iguana(good), boa constrictor(bad), cow brains, frogs, deer, rabbit, dove, rattlesnake, chicken hearts, and other wild game.(all good)

LSD

I've had goat...it's not bad at all.
Lambs may be cute, but they're delicious...I love me some lamb.

I've had frog legs, duck, calamari...nothing too far off the beaten path. Mainly because it's a lot more expensive than what a poor college student like myself can afford.

Most any kind of game bird. Duck would have to be my favorite. Smoked duck is *incredible*.

Buffalo meat...

Coming to a McDonalds near you!

Woodcock, aka Timberdoodle. Pigeon sized snipe like bird eats mostly earthworms, has chocolate brown flesh. Dad loves 'em, me not so much.

I've had Uni (sea urchin roe) twice, once to try it and once to see if the revolting quality of the first time was a fluke. It wasn't.

Eel. Dad likes 'em pickled; I like 'em broiled.

Japanese Beetles. Wings & legs removed then fried in butter. Pain in the ass to make, but absolutely delicious. Cross between popcorn and lobster.

Duck is fantastic. I make it for thanksgiving instead of turkey (though I may make a bourbon brined wild tukey at some point).

I agree with the "if it moves, it's food" crowd, and add that if something that moves eats it, it's food. Anything that can be eaten has been, and a ton of things that can't be eaten as is have been "solved" so to speak. Manioc, f'rinstance, is deadly poison raw, but properly processed is quite nutritious - it's the pearls in tapioca pudding.

Bison steak.Deer taco...i think i had moose meat.Shark

All the normal stuff like rabbit and peasants many o time.

I really wanna try something exotic not just from around Canada.

I have tried many of the things here, the kangaroo burgers seemed to hop around on the plate too much.
FUGU was interesting, tried it just for the risk.

If animals weren't meant to be eaten they wouldnt be made of meat.

Most exotic thing i've ever eaten was alligator, kinda tough but really good. Buffalo is pretty good as well, its a lot heartier than beef, and healthier as I understand it.

Could of just said duck egg? :rolleyes:

ostrim (ostrige/ beef jerky) it's really good and it is also considered an aphrodisiac; also on the aphrodisiac list, Eel is awesome, probably my favourite food.

Eel Is definitely the best meat EVER! =D

Oh yeah I forgot about eel I had it with sushi one time it was really good.

its all about the guinea fowl and squab.

if it was once alive, it has can be consumd
soylent green....
