Prepared much like picture attached but with claws. Called Cuy.

Also had Alpaca while in Peru. Served as a long flat piece of meat. Was well done so I only tasted the seasoning.

>>8275482
Where did you eat stingray?

Sea Turtle in the Bahamas. I liked the fact I was eating an endangered species.

>>8275485
Same. Pretty bland.

>>8275478
Dog, I don't know which breed it was.
Didn't taste much and was chewy.

>>8275478
KANGAROO STEAK. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

>>8275478
shark fin soup in Hong Kong. It wasn't that great, but I enjoyed it because it's an endangered species.

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

>>8275489
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.

>>8275486
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

>>8275478
For me it is the McChciken the best fast food sandwich

>>8275573
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.

>>8275478
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.

>>8275612

Rattlesnake.

It was....okay.

>>8275478
I ate dog in Korea.

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

>>8275629
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.

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

>>8275601
I don't believe you. You would get sick eating bear meat.

>>8275478
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.

>>8275478
I ate possum, coon, squirrels, cardinals and jays when I was homeless sleeping innawoods. Basically anything i shot with my .22

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

>>8275520

it's kind of chicken-flavored-fish

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?

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.

>>8275482
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.

>>8275478
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.

>>8275612
That's hardly exotic.
You could find a puff in at any restaurant in Betty Bay.

>>8275929

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

And what does anthrax taste?

>>8277061
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.

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.

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)

>It was good, very tender. Served raw.

You lie.

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

>>8278449

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.

>>8278459
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.

>>8278466
They're not in US restaurants because people freak out.
http://www.ibtimes.com/what-does-horse-meat-taste-377184
>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.

>>8275478
I usually eat wild rabbit

>>8275520
I've had mine in stew and meatpies kangaroo is really good meat.

>>8275522
Why does everything have to taste like chicken? It's a more chewy shrimp.

>>8276732
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

>>8278641
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.

>>8278523
Yes. Me.

Pic related, not my pic though.

>>8278641
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).

>>8278725
>, 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.

>>8278737
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.

>>8278766
Horse meat is not Gourmet or 'delicious' . .. .who are you trying to fool?

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

>>8278772

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

>>8278781
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

>>8278641
Salty rubber bands coated with sesame oil.

>>8275478
Hippo probably. It's delicious.

I can imagine it being very fatty, like Pork Belly but what does it taste like?

I ate dog in the Philippines. Also drank blood from a goat in east Africa.

Sort of in between beef and lamb for flavor, but the texture is incredible, butter level tender.

>>8278877
Wow . . .sounds good.

Can't find a source in the UK but I will certainly keep my eye out for it.

>>8278933
lionfish meat is hardly different than most gulf whitefish. they're just really invasive and venomous. starting to see them in grocery stores in florida.

>>8278947
Smaller, much more concentrated flavor, meat is drier with tighter texture. The dark meat is so tough it pretty much has to be stewed, and there isn't much of it. I had breast meat that had been marinated and grilled. Nice as a novelty, but nothing I'd seek out or bother to hunt.

I have yet to find heart I liked, liver is a pretty good description but heart is less oily and has a definite taste of its own.

I found a dead bald eagle in the hinterlands of Minnesota and fried it up since there weren't any maggots on it. It wasn't that great but I enjoyed it because it's an endangered species.

>>8279515
Meh snowy owl is better

I once found a dead European in the streets of Berlin and decided to try him out. Tasted alright. A bit malnourished but it easy worth it. Since they're an endangered species. The new species, the migrating middle easterners aren't all that good either.

>>8279515
Wow. You're a real "he" man there, neanderthal.

The closest thing I can think of is swordfish and mahi mahi. The former has to be grilled and the latter is...shit.

Bear or Mountain Lion

>>8278641

I had some in korea. It was probably pickled or something because mine was relatively sour.

Not bad. It had a consistency somewhere between jelly and tripe.

>>8277351

You really lucked out being able to get it. They don't give out a lot of bear-hunting permits.

I had a whale steak in Iceland. Tasted like beef really.

>>8278641

nothing at all in the jellyfish salad thing I had in china. it's one of those things eaten in asia just for the texture.

the least common non-meme thing I have eaten is probably zebra. tarantula and snake in cambodia/vietnam for short-lived bragging rights only. also fresh bat blood with whiskey - literally cut its throat at the table. tourist shit. impresses some people.
