I used to compulsively rip chunks out of my fingers using my teeth as a form of anxiety driven self harm. I’d say it’s close to pork, but I haven’t tasted raw pork
That’s enough Internet for me today, but hope you are doing better now.
Long pig, they called it
You win my favorite internet comment of the day.
My personal cuticles need more seasoning.
Rattlesnake in the wild, thanks to an insane ex-military Scout leader I had that was trying to prove a point to us (his Scout troop).
It was actually a lot better than I expected, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a number of (hopefully) obvious reasons.
Same, reminded me of somewhat greasy chicken.
I’ve eaten a rat.
In my youth I was trekking in Thailand and we arrived to our next destination late at night and we were starving. The only option to get food was a street grill which served only two foods: rat-on-a-stick and some kind of a fried jellyfish-on-a-stick.
The rat was actually pretty good. My friend chose the jellyfish and regretted this instantly.
LOL, I’m getting Discworld vibes. The vendor wasn’t Disembowel-Meself-Honourably Dibhala by chance?
Things were pretty crazy, but not Ankh-Morpok-level crazy ;)
Snake ate the ducks we were going to eat so it was allowed to digest them then we ate the snake.
Not bad, tasted a bit like duck weirdly. Lots of bones.
So like a turducken but a snuck?
Snake ate the ducks…
This. Should not be possible. Snakes are so strange.
😀 👍
Ate ostrich and kangaroo. Were alright.
For some rabbit and horse is exotic, or even deer, elk, reindeer, but I wouldn’t count that.
The love and respect we give horses vs. other farm animals kind of makes me sad.
Alligator - oddly enough as fritters at a Margaritaville in New Orleans. Like most say, flaky like fish, tastes like chicken.
Horseneat served and packaged like baloney in Sweden, eating with crisp bead and breakfast cheese. Was not a fan.
Moose in Sweden. Like beef, only the “grains” of the meat were really large.
Reindeer in Sweden. Like venison, but I am told “less gamey.” I say I am told, because apparently I cannot taste the “gamey” in meat. That is, I have had gamey venison and non-gamey venison and can’t taste whatever gameyness is.
Cicada - tastes like weak shrimp.
Bear, when travelling in Sweden. It was smoked, I believe, and served on a sandwich. No particularly distinguishable taste, but it was very lean and easily fell apart when bitten. Turned vegetarian not long after, lol.
Lol a meat so exotic it turned you vegetarian.
Green sea turtle. Apparently the the conservation organization that was breeding them was allowed to serve them on site only. I had it in a sandwich. The meat was green and tasted like turkey
Horse, I think. It’s quite delicious, and quite common place here too
Where is here…asking for a friend
Italy lol
Sawagani - Japanese river crab. They’re tiny; about the size of a US nickel and you eat them fried whole, shell and all. Apparently they aren’t exported any more, but I had them at a sushi restaurant in Austin around 2000. They were delicious, like extra-crunchy crab-flavored popcorn.
Flamingo, but the meat is a bit tough…
I once ate a baby camel. Had some rice with it as well.
Crocodile. It was fine. A bit like seaweed wrapped chicken.
Reindeer in a restaurant in Helsinki. It was good, a lot like beef. The reindeer were farmed, so it wasn’t too tough or gamey.
