LOVE this thread!
I tried all afternoon yesterday to get on it KNOWING it was going to be a keeper!
My list of "exotics" (so far):
woodchuck
raccoon
(my grandfather, an old trapper, wouldn't feed it to his dogs, but it is tasty if cooked right!)
opossum (VERY good, but must be boiled in saltwater, like a lot of fatty game)
muskrat
beaver
moose, elk
venison, (a favorite)
American bison (far better than beef IMHO)
goat (another favorite)
alligator (and smaller lizards)
snakes (of all kinds)
turtle
snails (MMMMMM!)
horse, (very good)
ostrich, emu, every part of a duck,
rocky mt oysters from almost all farm animals
bone marrow
calf brains "innerds" in general
Most oriental food, (where NOTHING is thrown away)
(fish sauce...mmmmm! just don't think about how it's made!)
sushi!!! (and, for me, has for much longer than it's been popular here)
jellied pig veins being one of the more strange
Unusual seafood includes eel (big and baby), sea urchins, sea cucumber,
shellfish (the 1st guy that ate an oyster was HUNGRY!)
octopus and squid (both big and little)
I've eaten a lot of bugs.
Ants are pretty good, but I cannot say I like any other insect.
I've not eaten armadillo (but I will one of these days),
monkey, dog, or cat (too much like people, I'd have to be HUNGRY!).
I'm looking forward to trying some of the stuff listed...
I only THOUGHT my tastes were a bit strange!
