For me its rattlesnake and alligator. I would LOVE to eat an alligator steak (cross section of its tail), but have no idea where to find a restaurant that serves this.
Rabbit=OK.
Lamb-great.
Frogs legs- not impressed.
-
Mountain Lion
Maybe Horse. Not really sure.

There's a place in Inverness, FL called Stumpknockers that serves gator about 20 different ways. Bet you could find it there!
-
Camel, done jerky style.
-
Not sure if it classified as an animal but I have eaten worms, goat brains, grizzly bear chitlins, kudu, cape buffalo, ostrich etc etc. I have traveled all over the world and have eaten lots of weird things. I sometimes fear what my be residing in my digestive tract.
-
I've had escargoat. It was actually pretty good. The next most exotic thing was buffalo, and that was good too.
-
Alpaca in Peru. Was actually quite tasty. Very lean, beef flavor. Husband had cuy (guinea pig) and swears it wasn't bad.
-
Sadly only alligator. LOL

Accidentally? Cuz, you'd have to eat a lot of those to get full :)
-
Ostrich.......... if ya have a chance to try it,.... don't. Tastes like bologna.

Same here.

IMHO:
Ostrich -- very tough. Ditto buffalo. Escargot -- tastes like garlic. Rattlesnake, if marinated for a day is pretty tasty and no it doesn't taste like chicken. Alligator -- very gamey and oily. Frog's legs -- a lot like gator.
Spotted owl -- kind of a cross between bald eagle and peregrine falcon.
-
Alligator, conch, buffalo.
Alligator is my favorite, though. :)
-
A restaurant I used to work for servered escargot. They baked it in little iron escargot pans in butter and garlic. Tasted like steak. Frog legs? Taste like chicken. Lamb? Taste like cow. Ditto for buffalo.

We have a local restaurant that specializes in bison. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Very good stuff. They are always crowded.

Which one? I like bison... its good stuff.
My stepfather has partial ownership of a couple of ranches (one in Franklin, another on in Montana). Last I heard, he was working on a deal to supply meat to Ted Turner's restaurant.
Oh yeah... oysters are overrated gobs of snot.

My family LOVES that place. There is a location in Norcross, Georgia, that we would often go to.
It may be partly owned by Ted, but the food is excellent (except for the half-pickled cucumbers :mental: )

^ Possum on a half shell. Never eaten it, but know people who have. For me it was probably Scrambled Hog Brains and Eggs. Tastes about like salmon and eggs.
-
Baby Shark Po Boy at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, 1979 ish - it was awesome!
Horse. jerky-style - it was kinda sweet - 1987ish
BBQed eel - several times between 1985 and now.
Alligator nuggets, fried - 2 weekends ago. I believe I've seen it at the local grocery store. The next time I do a seafood boil I think I'm going to put some alligator in it.
-
Frog legs and alligator. I've had gar fish, I don't recommend it. I've had buffalo and ostrich. I like buffalo, but ostrich I can pass on. I love sushi so I've eaten eel, conch, octopus, etc.
I'll eat just about anything at least once.
-
Cuttlefish
-
Let see.
Bear-Very oily, but good. Had it in chili.
Shark-Tastes really good.
Frog Legs-Taste like chicken!
Sea Cucumber-Kinda like scallop
I am no surprised no one has eaten ptarmigans.

I think the only critters I've eaten that aren't already covered are :
Goanna - Badâ„¢. Never 'gain.
Crocodile : Great stuff, The farm ones have a detectable taste of chicken. Wild ones not so much. Think Alligator.
Emu : Think Ostrich.
Kangeroo : Not to my taste, but very lean and good for you.
Cat : Not something I care to repeat.

If you go to the Frestival again, try the fried soft shell crab. The best I have ever eaten and their food stand also sells fried catfish.
-
I had Elk for the first time Monday night. Great stuff. Maybe not so much "exotic", but in South GA it is rare.
-
Buffalo jerky and bison burgers. Very tasty.
-
Black and White Spotted Cow
:rotf:
Alot of people hunt around here, so I have had all of the game, including some bbq coon. Not a big fan of game meat...deer summer sausage is ok, but they have to add alot of pork when they make it. Nothing like spitting out bb's when you are trying to eat rabbit. Goose is really greasy it seems.
The Arch over the interstate in Kearney, NE had an all you can eat buffet that featured buffalo entrées..that was good.
Here in the midwest great beef and pork is every where so I stick with that most of the time!
-
hummmmmmmm...never thought about it much...but after thinking for awhile Ive impressed myself...Alligator,ostrich,moose,elk,rattlesnake,bear,and God forgive me...my Easterbunny(we sent him to live on my uncles farm and who would of thunk they would feed him to us on Thanksgiving????)
-
Wild duck/goose, I hunt.
Deer
Buffalo
Rattlesnake
Alligator
Peacock, tough as nails
and a VERY illegal one, More Goose. Possibly some of the best meat I've ever had. When I asked what it was, I was told, More Goose. I said "what?". "Ya", my friend said. "It's more goose than you want". Turns out it was Swan. About as illegal as you can get. :uhsure: :o

I had some Elk jerky a week or so ago...very good.
Living in the midwest I have tried just about anything that could be shot....not a big fan of game. Had some bbq racoon that was pretty good and wild turkey is yummy...
-
Shark
Rattlesnake
Crawfish (guess it could be exotic to some)
Elk
Moose
Gator
Squirrel
Escargot (another reason to hate the French)
Dove
Quail
Duck
White Tail Deer
Bullfrog
Wild Boar
Bear
Squid
...and all TYPES of shellfish
All good except the snails.

Arizona Black Bear

Escargot (another reason to hate the French)

Had escargot, I figured if they have to put THAT much garlic in it..........
add wild turkey, boar, and Elk.
