Yea, even though it was funny, if we can leave the high school humor out of this one, I think some of the odd foods out there was rather interesting Lotta people already mentioned frog legs....Probably to this day my all time favorite food. And like mentioned before, wild caught ones were tastier than farm raised. Some of the other things I've had and liked Ostrich Quail Calamari Turtle soup rabbit squirrel bear (made by a chef, not sure the name but basically a stuffed pastry with bear meat & dates or raisins) Sooo good Alligator I've tried some of the more common sushi fish...salmon, tuna, some kind of whitefish Some of the other things I would like to try Rattlesnake Alligator prepared differently than what I had Duck goose Dove
I was fed some raccoon once at a BBQ w/o knowing what it was. Honestly, it just tasted like really greasy chicken. Not great, but not awful either. As far as game that wasn't native to our area....I've ate bison, alligator, elk and moose. I've never had duck, groundhog (which I've heard was decent??), or bear.
I have never eaten a lot of wild game. Only fish, squirrels, and deer really. Oh yeah, some rabbit and frog legs as well.
Tuna, yellow and bluefin Swordfish, Salmon Eel Shark Walleye Northern Pike (Jack fish for you cannucks ) Bass (large and small) Crappie Sunfish Perch Catfish Bullhead Red Snapper Croaker Squid Way too many more fish. I quit there... lol. Gator Ostrich Buffalo (is Bison a different animal?) Frog Venison Bear, but it was a long time ago, and I don't remember it. Duck (Midwest types, and a Surf Scoter that happened by, I guess he was lost...) Goose (Canadian, never happened by the other species) Grouse Pheasant (again, a long time ago.) Squirrel (Grey and Fox) Lamb Mutton Bear Elk Moose Quail (and raw quail eggs on sushi, if that counts...) Chicken Crab (various types) Lobster (various types) Oysters Clams Mussles Various types of fish, but I can't list them all... Some things in Okinawa, that I'm still not sure what they were... I'm sure there is more... Want to try: Everything!!! I urge people to try everything. You just never know what you will like!? Rattlesnake ( I think I have tried this, but don't remember what it was like), Crocodile (is it different than gator?), etc...
I've had groundhog, coon, turkey nuts (that's right turkey nuts from when they castrate them) and along those line Rocky Mountain Oysters. EEL from the Mississippi River. Woodcock (the bird )
We have a wild game dinner every year at church, there are usually 20 or so different foods ther and I try them all. Not real sure what I have eaten, probably easier to list what I have not eaten.
I'll try anything, so I've ate a lot of "different" foods, ranging from raw beef (beef carpaccio) to nutria rat to squirrel heads to bull balls. When I was younger, whatever I killed, I would roast over a fire in our back yard. I have ate ever type of small bird imaginable.
