What is the strangest meat you have eaten? (1 Viewer)

[tomwaits]

I was listening to the Joe Rogan show the other day and he had one of those guys that go live in the middle of Alaska on. The guy was talking about all of the strange stuff he has eaten, usually because he couldn't catch/kill anything better.

Some of the things he listed:

Weasel - he said this was the worst as they smell like skunks and a lot of what we taste is based on smell
Every part of the moose, including moose colon. Says you have to turn it inside out like a sock to get the poo out first
Boiled wolf meat
Grizzly bear
All sorts of little birds

My least favorite thing I have eaten was dried cuttlefish from a gas station. The Vietnamese guy who worked at the store said it went great with beer. I disagree.

(PS - I know this could go downhill very fast)

In villages in SE Asia, one sees lots of chickens and small dogs.

They don't typically eat the chickens b/c chickens lay eggs, so...

Also, rattlesnake. Chewy and boring.

On purpose?

I think a blue waffle counts as meat.

I'm very conservative with the meat I eat.

If you don't count sushi or raw oysters as meat, then deer.

Squirrel maybe? I don’t find gator too strange anymore. Snails are still odd but I grew to like them.

I remember one of those gas stations on Vets in Metairie used to have sushi - cuttlefish is on a whole other level.

Cheers to your willingness to try a tip from a local in an exotic place. That often turns out really good - maybe not so much that time

Haven't really tried much exotic meat. Weirdest I can think of is octopus

Squirrel, snake, rabbit, snail, all big game, bear (hideous). Do crickets count? I’ve heard rat is really good also.

Big mac

Tongue. Texture is not my thing so if it’s an acquired taste I won’t be having enough to find out

Sewer rat, I’ve heard it taste like pumpkin pie. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Zack Lee]

Oh and bbq Eel is one of my absolute favorites

Big mac

Some of that is still inside you. I don’t care when you ate it

I've eaten squirrel, turtle, alligator, frog legs, squid, livers, gizzards, turkey hearts etc. But I consider those relatively mundane by culinary standards.

So I'll go with the time I ate a cool ranch flavored cricket. It was crunchy. And vaguely doritos esque.

What ever happened to the Nutria craze that hit a lot of our restaurants? Did the movement die?

At an Aussie restaurant in NY I had Emu carpaccio- **** was good

Had squid balls in japan - that’s all I gave to say about that
