I love trying new things and I have to say I have had my share of different exotic meats and have found most of them to be pretty damn good when prepared right. Rattlesnake, elk, black horned antelope, frog legs, alligator, kobe beef, shark fin, ostrich, wild boar, venison, wild turkey, squab, goose and rabbit to name a few off the top of my head. There are a few I would love to try. The only one that I am hesitant about is lion because they are amazing animals and I have some block there. I am curious about some like bear meat, llama, yak and alpaca. I know there is a lot of fowl I don't even know about. So tell me planet, what are your favorite exotic meats and how do you like to prepare them?

Kangaroo. marinated and grilled to med rare, sliced thin and served with a currant sauce.When i had kangaroo, it must have been overcooked. It was tough and tasted very gamey, but it was right from the grocery store meat dept.

Furthermore, I believe I've eaten alpaca. It was a brown meat and this was a mountainous region, no cows. tasted like a low grade beef but the look was different. Coulda been some other animal though.

In conclusion, I enjoy Bison steak.

Pheasant, seasoned to taste and slow baked in a brown sauce. Elk is quite good when properly prepared also.

So kangaroo is like a middle meat right? Kind of inbetween fowl and beast? If that's the case I can see why that sauce would be spot on.

Kangaroo is very like venison. The taste is different, but the texture and moisture content is very similar.Still more like beef than pork, for instance.

The currant sauce, or I think a raspberry sauce would be just as good, with a demi-glas base makes the dish.

Still to describe the meat plain, its like a very dry and iron/iodine beef product. I hope that helps. Like I said. Venison.

There was a bistro where I used to live, that speciallized in wild game meats. I've consumed a bunch of alternative meats. Served with a CIA attitude.

its been a long time but i've had elk and bison. Both were pretty good.

I was curious if anyone has tried hair sheep? I guess it is something that is or was catching on as a livestock. Just never tried it. Supposedly its better than the wool sheep but i don't even remember eating too much mutton.

from what i remember when i was younger was that it had several different types of meat that it tasted like. different parts of it tasted like pork, beef, fish, etc.

this is the common snapping turtle not the alligator snapper. if i was fishing and hooked one of those alligator snappers i would probably just cut the line. those get pretty big.

I had turtle soup once. I couldn't even tell you what kind it was. The way it was served it was tender and I am having a hard time describing that taste but it was very good. I have no idea what part it was but based upon your description I would have to say it was more like pork.

thanks for the link :thumb:

sometimes reeling those in it feels like dragging a tire off the bottom. I heard cleaning them is a real pain.

Thats on this springs list along with hopefully landing a decent sized northern pike or two to try and get better at removing the y bones. youtube has some good videos on it that i have seen.

Chinatown SF. Come to think of it I gotta go back there in the next month or so and seek a few new things out. They have these brown chickens out there that are the bomb. Problem now is all the Peta types passed a law where you can't buy them anymore without wacking them yourself. Not exactly humane for most people. Gotta pick me up one of those too.

I'm in Iowa. I'll have to check on the net for turtle soup recipes. Painted turtle is another turtle that is native to ponds, lakes, and rivers here. I bet one of the old timers here on CP knows of a recipe.

I hear ya on the regulations. Not exactly a market for this type of stuff in small town midwest but if i want some elk for example i can atleast call the farmer and have it arranged with a local butcher.

Otherwise it's pork, beef, chicken, turkey, and hot dog at the local grocery stores.

yeah. most pet food is a mix of horse and roo. I used to work on a cattle station years ago - during a drought the roos were starving and came out of the bush in huge numbers, started eating all the pasture. They went out in the chopper and shot them all day long. Since i had just started there, they sent me out to block up all the holes in the fences where they were escaping into the neighboring property, and later to pick up the dead roos, stack them in piles and burn them so the NPWS didn't see, they only gave them 500 tags but there's millions of the bastards.
Halfway through the manager found out the pet food joint would buy some of them so they sent me out in the ute to follow the chopper and pick up a couple dozen. I took them to the guy at Bathurst and came back, manager told me later he got paid so little for it that it hardly covered the fuel there and back.
There are far more roos today than when whitey first landed here - their numbers were kept in check by the aboriginals, who soon preferred the taste of lamb and beef. This caused some trouble, but that's another story.

And among the things me and my mate have tried to eat are goanna (oily as hell, tasted like shit) an emu (tough as an old boot) and a wombat (made us sick, we drank a lot back then so can't remember how it tasted or why the fuck we tried to eat the thing)

HMc
04-03-2011, 02:35 AM
you only have to drive like an hour from sydney before you see dead roos on the side of the road every 100m.

They taste alright I guess. like most meat, it's in the prep and the sauce.

As long as it's cooked when supposed to be, or served properly while raw , I'll eat damn near anything served on a plate in front of me from a restaurant, or eating establishment, or red neck BBQ

I mean hell...if you can handle some of the food I choked back as a trucker in them greasy spoons, you could probably eat things that would make a billy goat puke.

Off the top of my head. (Some are exotic, some are, ah, well.....)

Moose, Bear, Elk, Caribou, Deer, Cougar, Coyote, mountain goat, Antilope, Bison, Rattle snake, alligator, possum, raccoon, skunk, hedge Hog, squirl, sheep, lamb, pidgin, sparrow, crow, aardvark, ostrich, rat, goffer, wild boar, armadillo, frog, scorpion (and there ain’t a whole lot on one either) , ants, spider, and seagull

And just about every type of fish of water creature in North America you can name.

I'm sure there are others, most were consumed with LARGE amounts of alcohol and a bet, challange, or dare being involved.

Editors note:
Skunk will give you the shits in about 15-20 mins, I really suggest you skip eating Seagull.....rather nasty comming back up. And sparrow has more freaken bones than worth the effort.

I ate horse meat in Italy, and it was damn good. In a cream based pasta.

Ate whale meat in Norway; served like a steak and it was fantastic. Not fishy at all- very lean and dense meat. Also ate seal meat on the same trip.

Also ate reindeer up in Norway- but we killed and ate it immediately. No frills- just roasted over a fire.

Goat-even less appetizing when a dude is ripping off hunks of it with his hand and dropping it on your plate.

Raccoon. Do not like. But ate out of necessity.

You're right, but when I ate goose it certainly had a certain fishy/aquatic taste (Maybe it was bad meat!)

I assumed it was more a function of what the animal ate that gave it's flesh the taste.

I have had octopus many different ways including soup. You can get it at many sushi places and it's good. It's called Tako. Then there is baby tako which they marinade and Ipreffer it that way. They you can also have it fried at some places. Here are some pictures. I think uni is much more challenging. My kid likes uni. When he goes to a sushi bar the sushi chefs all go "that's the kid that eats uni" to the people at the bar. That kid gets all kinds of free food.

I've eaten it in other ways, too. I also love it in pasta, cioppino and sushi, and it works well as a cold salad and in other dishes, too. The stew is just my favorite, and it always brings back great childhood memories.

In the words of Chris Farley & SNL , That was awesome.

I think most of the crap from faces of death was debunked as fake.

have you ever eaten it live? i'd like to do that some day.
i've tried abalone several times, both raw and deep fried in beer batter. its ok but gets tiring.

I think you're supposed to beat the living shit out of abalone prior to cooking it.

I think you're supposed to beat the living shit out of abalone prior to cooking it.here's what i was taught after catching about 50 of them with a group of friends: you have to cut them out of their shells while avoiding the piss bladder. if you pop it, you'll have piss all over the place. same with the poop sack. so you cut around these and then cut them off and discard. then you trim the inedible parts off, saving as much of the good meat as possible. you're left with a black slimy slab of abalone meat. you then take a scouring pad and scrub off all the black stuff. takes 5 or 10 minutes. after that, you put it in the freezer for half an hour or more, to make it relax since its just a big muscle. then you further pound it unmerciful to tenderize it, as you mentioned. then you can cut'r up and eat.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Emu is pretty tasty. I've picked it up at the farmers market a couple of times. I've only had it ground up.

Not going to read the whole thread because I don't care enough, but you should try some Jamaican recipes for ox tail and goat.

Also, don't eat lion. I don't think you should eat an animal that cool.

You see now that's one I wanted to try. I'll do it now on your suggestion.

Goat is OK, I've had quite a lot of it actually. It was always in some kind of soup. Growing up there was a friend who's mom always fixed rabbit and goat in soup. I wish I had tried it different ways. I can see how Jamaican jerk marinate followed by cooking it over a fire would be worth trying.

I've had Indian Curry Goat (different than Jamaican Curry Goat) and Goat in Hispanic cuisine.....tastes like beef to me.

Also had Rabbit, Squirrel, Dove, Quail, Conch, venison, grouse, and Wild Turkey off the top of my head. If you've never experienced wild turkey breast floured and fried your missing something amazing. Some of the best meat in the woods.
