When I was in Panama I would eat at the little kabob grills they would set up outside of bars and nightclubs. For $1.00 you would get 2 "beef" kabobs and a Coke. When you asked them what the meat was they would reply in Spanish "Carne" which is the word for meat. So we think it must be beef right. Well after eating these for several months and loving them I later learned it was monkey meat. My then I had consumed so much I just didn't give a sh!t any more.
Ostrich (delicious)
Bear Ribs (delicious)
Antelope (delicious)
Can't think of anything else totally strange...
While in Peru, I ate a seaweed based salad, the viney seaweed. While that's not terrible, nothing in this salad was cooked. It included several variants of fish, shell fish, cephalapods, and I was too afraid to ask what else.
Elk is excellent; I prefer it to a beef steak of any cut. Bear is also very good and not overly 'gamey'. Buffalo is great if it's not over cooked. I've never heard a bad word about alligator, I need to try it sometime.
Drunk one night I happened to order pizza for the drunk walk home... on the way my friends were at ANOTHER bar and I knew the bartender would hook it up with free drinks... I proceeded to not be rude and put the pizza in a nearby dumpster, go drink more, and then an hour or two later picked up my pizza and ate it on the way home...
It's kinda hard to explain to all your drunk friends that the dumpster pizza is yours and you planned to pick it up later

I would like to try Tarantula... bet it tastes like crab.
i would eat just about anything that is safe to eat just to say i did.
i hear racoon is quite good if done right.
i kinda draw the line at eating human
dont dig on that so much....
Kuzi, I'm sure you're an excellent manager, but I am never eating at your restaurant. That's one crazy list!
on a side note...
anyone ever hear of maggot steak?
Squirrel
Cat and Dog - a chinese food place I used to frequent was shut down. The health dept inspected them and found cat/dog meat in the kitchen. I was wondering where Fluffy had gotten off to.
Alligator
Rattlesnake
Scorpions(Dried)
Chocolate covered ants
I ate a Katydid once in a cheeseburger, well half of one. I saw it after I swallowed that bite (and half the bug) and did not eat the rest.
And that's just what I know about.
Snapping turtle
Alligator
Pidgeon/Dove
Canada goose
Wild hog
Buffalo
Water snake
Rattlesnake
A lot of people up by the marshes in northern Ohio where I am eat muskrat, but i've never had it before. Apparently it's really good if done right. The article I read about it was in the Wild Ohio publication just recently.
Now I've heard it called beaver before and that's not too crazy, but snapping turtle? Eating beaver can be bad enough, but I won't touch it if it has enough teeth to be called a snapping turtle!! (never thought anyone would post that as a foodstuff).
Now that you mention it, I do remember that they both were a little greasy...
Oh my god he killed Stew ...who's gonna tell his mom and dad !!!
