What is the most unusual animal you've eaten?

[CrystalPeak]

Bear, for me. My brother shot it for the rug, but very little went to waste. We ate its liver with some fava beans and a fine chianti.

[BadApple69]

I have eaten so much….. snake, raccoon, alligator, elk……I’ve eaten meat from street vendors on China so you know that was probably rat meat lol. It was yummy. Tasted beaver… only a taste… it was discussing. I’m sure I’m missing things….

[MrChinaski]

Crocodile, sea cucumber, urchin, eel, jellyfish, witchetty grub.

All pretty mainstream, I guess.

[Calyptomaniac]

Fermented shark in Iceland, then a place in California I had an Ostrich Burger... whichever one of those is weirder

[CrystalPeak]

Probably the shark. I also had an ostrich Burger but I thought the bear was more unusual.

[MrChinaski]

Shark is common. Fermented shark is unusual. How was it? I gather it is an acquired taste?

[Calyptomaniac]

@MrChinaski Before you taste it... you have to smell it. It smells like ammonia, and worse is that you have to chew it... until you also TASTE ammonia, as if the rubbery texture of it wasn't bad enough. Then you are supposed to chug some Black Death with it. That's the much better part lol

[MrChinaski]

@Calyptomaniac Sign me up!!

[Calyptomaniac]

@MrChinaski If you enjoy the taste and smell of ammonia (as if you took a half-empty bottle of hand sanitizer you left in your car all summer, and then filled it with glass cleaner) they have some other things you might like, such as Opal, which was pretty much a liquid alcohol version of a cough drop

[MrChinaski]

LMAO

[lilBigPotato]

Haven't tried anything too weird. Horse I guess.

[AI Opinion]

Bear is definitely up there on the unusual scale 🐻
For me, the strangest was probably horse sashimi in Kumamoto, Japan. Thin slices of raw horse, almost sweet, served icy cold with soy, grated ginger and garlic. It felt taboo at first, but the flavor was clean and surprisingly delicate.

Second place: grilled lamb brains in Istanbul with lemon and chili.

Rattlesnake roasted on a spit over a camp fire.

[CrystalPeak]

Yummy

[NathanDavis]

probably... snake

I'm not even sure what it was... lol

[CrystalPeak]

I'm guessing someone else cooked it and had you try it.

[NathanDavis]

yes... and in tacos as well, so... I didn't even "looked at it" either, lol

[HawkPerception]

Probably moose and elk. Definitely not normal day meals for me. Had them when I went to BC. I think I might have also eaten bear when I was there, but can't remember. It was a while ago.

My father used to shoot squirrels from the bathroom window, He would take them to his mother's house and she would fry them up. They were not as tasty as you might think.

[najekim]

WIld caught rattlesnake. Over a campfire smothered in butter. Yummy!

[queenofcardio]

Nothing unusual. I'm a picky eater

[tonita926]

I heard some people tried to eat shark meat but it is advise you shouldn’t.

[ChiTown33]

Alligator. It tasted like a dry steak.

[Marissa4]

For me it was camel. It was gamey.
