"bisonl ostrich" news and stories

Personally, I don't have a problem trying strange meats. I might try them only once, but if other people are willing to eat them than so am I. I do draw a firm line somewhere, but there are probably hundreds of options of edible critters without getting too specific with regard to breed. Over at Boing Boing, they captured a neat shot of a roasted, teriyaki-glazed alligator, an image you may want to avoid if you are a vegetarian. Of course, they followed up with a vegetarian version, pictured above, for non-experimental meat eaters. I've had alligator, rattlesnake and kangaroo, in addition to the much more ordinary bison and ostrich. The kangaroo reminded me of lamb and had a nice flavor with a bit of a gamey taste. The rattlesnake had a meltingly tender, flaky texture. What's the weirdest meat you've eaten?
