Alternative meats

Bit OT but I enjoy watching the catch & cook vids on YT.

Most 'extreme' thing I've had was snails which hopefully count in the spirit of the thread

Rabbit.
Kangaroo.
Horse.

Does beef burger count, from McD's

Of those I probably had horse, whilst in Italy and I certainly had rabbit stew made by my mother, as a youngster - it was a bit of treat, for supper.

I'm sure that for a few years in the mid 1990s, some of the big supermarkets sold exotic meats, like Crocodile, Ostrich, Kangaroo and maybe also Zebra. And then suddenly they stopped - before I got round to trying them . More recently I've had Ostrich a few times from Aldi and that was yummy.

Supermarkets were keen on Zebra because it came with it's own barcode.

Had ostrich about 40 years. . Rode one while I was there too!

Are you not meant to stuff it after its dead ?

Hannibal leckters favourite restaurant.

Cannibal restaurant adverts turn German stomachs

Flime restaurant seeking diners willing to donate body parts to be turned into gourmet meals, but some suspect a ruse

Croc, zebra, kudu, impala, all in southern Africa, alpaca in Peru, had goat curry in Keswick market last month

Some things on there have jogged my memory. I’ve also had frogs, snails and pigs trotters. Oh, and I’ve also tried eating andouillette when I was in France once. I wouldn’t recommend it!

Yeah, lamb's foreskin sausage, IIRC!

Edit. It would appear not, unless there are variations of the sausage with the same name.

Didn't many of us eat horse meat (inadvertently) that was passed off as minced beef, a few years ago?

 

[transam]

Go to China and if it walks / crawls /flys / swims / moves they will eat it

Another one for trying different meats in S Africa. Had ostrich in Wilderness on the Garden Route - bit steak like but far less fat. Also kudu in Kruger Park. Being SA, I think these were the veggie options.

Also, glad to hear there's no rabbit in bunny chow.

Had horse a few times, in Italy and Cyprus, delicious.

And in Tesco

Welsh prefer to do that to their lamb when it's still alive.

Have had most of what has been mentioned

And I could throw into the mix...

Goanna
Seal meat
Whale meat
Puffin
Beef/Lamb cheeks

But have to say a particular favourite is Foal meat.

Gives you lots of energy……..do you know where this is going yet

Wow.
No 'finger quotes'. No Brexit bitterness. No exclamation mark!
You had a bump on the head or something?
