I guess exotic is relative, someone in here saying kangaroo is eaten all around Australia and Alligator is reasonably common here. Someone has goat as exotic but it seems common most everywhere.
I’m gonna go with the turtle soup my grandma got us at a restaurant when I was little (family very Louisiana on my dad’s side), I remember it being good. Don’t think I’d eat anything even remotely endangered now, they were not back then.
Husband still raves about Indonesian fried frog legs, he lived there for years growing up.
Yeah we Aussies eat kangaroo and crocodile, kangaroo is very normal here, they sell it in supermarket chains, but mostly it is wallaby not roo (labelled as roo). It just tastes like venison. I reckon you and I are the only ones who have eaten frogs legs in this list though.
Eh my local Coles has Kangaroo. Have to go to the IGA for Wallaby.
It’s all called roo, but all the “kangaroo” meat in coles and woolies etc in Tassie is wallaby, none of it is roo, despite the label.
I didn’t realise that.
All depends on the supplier, but there is no requirement for them to make the distinction.
Kangaroo, its meat is added almost everywhere, you won’t even know…
While visiting Norway, I had a reindeer burger which was simply awesome. I also had reindeer meat prepared like they prepare antilope in the country the cook was from. Expensive and worth it.
Horse- When I travelled to Uzbekistan, on airplane one of the meals was delicious meat with rice. I thought that its beef (it looked like it) but later I found out that its horses meat. Feel little sorry later because I enjoyed so much in meat of such a beautiful animal.
Do you know much about cows?
Aren’t they all beautiful?
When I served in the King’s African Rifles, the local Zambezi tribesman called human flesh “long pig.”
Never much cared for it.
Dragonfruit meat. Why are so many people here pretending it’s normal to interpret this as being about animal corpses???
it’s the usual definition of meat
Usual where? What kind of barbarians just thoughtlessly murder for fun?
- wherever English is spoken and 2. mm, I’d say barbarians of any kind actually, but im not sure how that’s related
it’s the english word for animal flesh eaten as food
if you ask “is there any meat in this” you are not asking about dragonfruit
corpses aren’t food though
yeah man I get it you’re a vegan stop pretending you don’t know what the word meat means.
if people eat it for sustenance it’s food
just say you’re morally opposed to eating meat these word games are some reddit tier shit
if people eat it for sustenance it’s food
that’s a pretty shitty definition of food which includes humans and dogs
yes to a cannibal humans are food. I morally disagree with people killing and eating other humans but if they do those people become food
I once ate a baby camel. Had some rice with it as well.
Yak. Had a delicious yak goulash in a restaurant in Thimpu, Bhutan. Very similar to beef, hard to tell because of the spicing.
Horse. A friend of mine brought some from Iceland and was kind enough to share. Its somewhere between pork and beef to me.
The fermented shark he brought back on the other hand, was the worst thing I have ever tasted. The smell alone cleared the room, and as one chef instructor said, “it smells like dirty pussy”.
You have to chase hákarl with brennivin. Although brennivin itself makes me gag.
What is brennivin? To be honest I’d try it again if theres a better way to eat it
It’s a particularly gross Icelandic liquor. Some people enjoy it apparently. Wikipedia says that it has hints of the flavor of fresh rye bread. I strongly disagree.
I also ate horse in Japan and didn’t enjoy it
I had horse steak from the UK, it was superbly tender and a lovely mellow taste. I was quite surprised.
Valloch.
But not on purpose.
I tried searching for that and…what?
Nothing shows up. What is that?
I feel like our man is just making up words here to mess with us
What is even that?
It’s the reason why zero point energy doesn’t work.
I still have zero idea what you’re talking about
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.
Ostrich is delicious. I’ve eaten it in a restaurant once and cooked it myself two or three times. It tastes like a red meat, but cooks like white meat, so you have to be careful because it can overlook in a snap.
100% agree. I was at a festival, saw a stand selling “ostrich steak” sandwiches, which I’d never heard of before. I figured I’d try it. The meat, which was served on a hoagie roll, looked and tasted like London broil. Good stuff! I’m surprised it’s not more common!
Years ago, we got a huge case of Slim Jim’s that said they were made with ostrich, instead of the usual beef and pork. Tasted like Slim Jim’s. So there’s that.
I had a roommate who used to make ostrich chili all the time. It was pretty good. Still prefer beef though.
Jellyfish. A bit… enh?

Believe it or not, also goat.
All sorts:
- Cat & Dog in SE Asia
- Horse, Donkey, Zebra, Crocodile, Sheep’s brain in Europe
- Kangaroo, Emu, Ostrich, Possom, Rabbit, Cricket, Goat, Huhu grub, almost all offal? etc in New Zealand
- Something I have no idea what it was in Russia
Edit:
- Moose and reindeer in Northern Europe
- Lots of seafood at home in NZ, both raw and cooked
Russia was probably just pork offal. It tends to be most of their mystery meat.
Again corny
Something I have no idea what it was in Russia
Here in Russia we eat very simple food because… because of the climate. I don’t even remember anything unusual; the rest is imported from abroad, countries with a favorable climate.
As the other poster said it may have been pork offal, It was from a street vender in one of the large markets
Dog, it was chewie and not tasty at all, no wonder most people don’t eat it.
I wonder if it’s because it’s a carnivore. Are there any other carnivores people generally eat? Hmm…
Where dogs are eaten they are usually omnivores. Lots of scraps mixed with rice, at least in Southeast Asia.
Chicken
lots of kinds of fish. most other carnivores are not cost effective to be eaten regularly.
I heard something somilar about why cat doesn’t taste good.
Bears supposedly have very distinct tastes depending on whether they’ve been eating meat and fish or fruits and honey.
Think you meant to reply to the other guy.
Bear. I’ve never had it but I’m told it’s super greasy
It can be really good, though undeniably gamey.
What’s your favorite breed?🙂
I have no idea, as far as I know there are specific meat dog breeds.
