What is the strangest meat you have eaten? (2 Viewers)

Beating eel hearts, and eel stomach yakitori

whale anus........ its like a Japanese finger food

The moral, ethical, ecological, and environmental implications of Japanese whaling practices aside, eating something responsible for making massive, explosive krill sheets is not OK on any level.

I've tried the Ostrich burgers and Moose steaks that where available here in the UK for a while. They both tasted pretty much like beef to me.

I have a friend who used to buy the cheapest burgers he could find for our saturday night get togethers. While they were okay, they were like no other meat I had ever tasted (certainly not beef) so I stopped eating them. Several months later the supermarket chain that sold them was caught up in a major food scandal over cheap meat imported from Europe, it turned out they were mostly horse meat. DNA testing also revealed the presence of Fox and Badger.

So my list is
Fox
Badger
Horse
Ostrich
Moose

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

I get the squid balls during the winter if I don't wear a coat!

For what it's worth. Granny always said that her favorite meat was opossum.

I have never eaten Possum though my grandmother did say it was delicious. She lived in Oklahoma for a few years when she was young and remembered it with gravy and biscuits. This same woman would not drink anything from a green glass nor would she eat chicken in any form other than stock in another dish.

I've eaten 90% of everything that's been listed here, but the strangest and probably worst thing I've ever eaten comes right out of my backyard.

Mullet roe has got to be the line I will not cross again. Gross.

My Grandfather wouldn't eat bird either. He said that he used to watch them peck the ground and eat their own feces.

What was the green glass thing about?

My great grandfather owned a chicken hatchery in Ms. Grandmother had enough chicken by 5 to never eat it again. When I was a kid they had ducks, geese, goats, sheep, and even a catfish pond she had in order to avoid chicken.


This was a privileged woman who would sooner eat gar out of a graveyard ditch than chicken .

What was the green glass thing about?

I believe her cousin filled a cup of water for her from an artesian well on our property near long branch that was full of algae. She was probably less than 10 at the time. Never saw her eat, drink or wear anything green.

bear (hideous).

how was it prepared? My Great uncle used to cook it for our family reunions in Ga. when I was a young man. Bear meat needs to
be marinated for up to a week before it's cooked. It's not beef. if you cook it like a fresh beef steak, you might as well be chewing
on a hockey puck.

Cuy. A shame little Guinea pigs gotta die for such little (and nasty) meat.

Yes. Cuy near Cusco, Peru. It's sort of a national dish (along with pisco, a sort of national drink, pretty good in a cocktail.) I made friends with a waiter at my hotel, and we went to a little restaurant outside of town. I praised it to him, but it tasted like it had been grilled with newspaper. I let him finish my cuy. It might have been good in a sauce piquant.

I have heard that some restaurants serve bits of string ray as sea scallops, and pig anuses as calamari. So I might have eaten pig anus.
