what other meats would you eat (not a thread for veggies!!)
Jump to: Newest in thread
watching the divine Mr Hollywood cooking up some goat and it got me wondering, what other meats would you or have you eaten?
I'd like to try goat, i've probably eaten horse but i'd like to knowingly try it.
I have eaten alligator, caterpillar (blody nephew tricked me! plus not sure thats technically a meat  )
would you try some more exotic meats if they were more easily available? |

I must admit to only ever eaten chicken in a Chinese/Indian although my preference is a nice T-Bone steak.
I've tried Venison but think that's as adventurous as I've been. |

Yes I would. As a reformed vegetarian I've not eaten lots of different types of meats, I've tried goat though.
I'd be interested in trying some of the antipodean meats, alligator, kangaroo, wallaby etc. |

Lol I'm guessing you've never been to any Afro Caribbean functions serving food if you've never tried goat
To me meat is meat, it's from a dead animal so what the hell does it matter what animal it is as long as it tastes good.
I've tried various. Wouldn't recommend crocodile but loved kangaroo. |

no i haven't hence not trying it. There was a stall in Birmingham one Christmas but i was too full of bratwurst to try any
I was disappointed Levi Roots didnt serve any goat at grillstock last year |

I ate horse twice in Portugal.
Regularly eat chickens stomachs and ate chickens feet once in Thailand.
Eaten curried goat loads of times and chanfana is a delicious Portuguese goat recipe.
By all accounts the way forward is to eat insects. |

"im boring an stick to the 'norm' (beef, chicken, lamb, pork)
duck is as exotic as ive got.
what stops you from trying other?"
availability, potential expense of these meats and the justification of it should i not like it.
ive a limited pallet and guess im afraid to experiment with new flavours. Ive ordered the same meals from take aways for years incase i spend money on things i dont like as it then becomes a waste.. im just tight and boring. Too set in my ways |

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
Eaten horse, goat, mutton, veal. If we're going for animals in general I enjoy grilled octopus, and have eaten sea slug (not recommended!)
I think the only meat I would avoid is meat from carnivores. Apparently it doesn't taste that good. Meat is flavoured by what they eat and so meat from omnivores and veggie animals are said to taste better.
I would probably eat human if I was hungry enough (and it was legal)! |

I've had:
Reindeer - Sweden
Horse - Paris
Frogs legs - France tasted like chicken
Duck - UK
Rabbit - UK/Cuba mmm rabbit stew
Goose - UK
Veal - various European locations, this has to be my fave is so moreish so so wrong, yet so so yummy.... I would go to France for the day to get a Veal fix...
I will try anything other than snails, having had one inchs from my mouth and chickening it at the last min because someone saying "Just swallow, if you chew you will be there all day" This put out me right off! |

I dont class my self a true veggie those i eat more veggie meals than meat. Im very fussy about meat and hate any kind of fat .So tend only to eat what i cook myself. Hence veggie when out and about. Ive eaten goat and to me its like a deeper flavoured lamb.Like mutton i suppose.
Apart from that, its only lamb,chicken,turkey and beef ....nowt else. |

"Most bizarre I have eaten was a gibbon when in africa, tasted like sh*t ."
We were always warned to not eat bush meat from certain parts of Africa due to the risk of catching Ebola, so its one thing I've not tried. |

I'm always amazed by the British lack of curiosity for food that is a bit less ordinary than chicken or beef...
Anyway, th list: Frogs & snails (obvs  ), horse, venison, buffalo, ostrich, crocodile, zebra (really yummy!!)... |

I'm allergic to shell fish and as a consequence I will avoid anything fishy other than tuna and cod. But as for meat I will try anything. Veal and wild boar are particular favourites. Goat and mutton are nice and I like a plate of offal when on holiday. |

Ostrich, kangaroo, crocodile all nice.
Wild Boar a bit tough.
Pheasant was a bit too rich for me when I was 8 but it was fascinating watching my Nan pluck and prep it. A freebie technically although it did cost my Dad a new headlight for his Cortina.
Ooh did someone say rabbit casserol?  |

"Anyone tried Razor clams.....?
"
I have. Yummy!
But bought them from the fishmonger after freezing my tits off trying to catch them in February with the salt method. I swear Rik Stein is laughing his ass off at all the northerners wandering the cornish coast with their tubs of saxo. |

LOL I tried that too. I'm thinking its a myth myself, and am happy to let the fishmonger catch them for me. |

Would eat most herbivore but never, ever that of carnivores. Or endangered or sentient creatures species like dolphin or whale. Pigs don't count as carnivores btw as they are technically omnivores .
Horse I balk at, mainly because of the conditions they are shipped in after they are no longer of use but if it was produced in a humane, stress free kill, then I would (so likely never to happen) |

Never tried phesent though |

wouldnt turn my nose up at anything as long as i didnt know beforehand.
its just the thought of things that turns our stomachs.
if you tucked into a nice sirloin, and only found out afterwards it was Nigel from accounting, even though you would be repulsed, you would consider it again.
maybe eating Ruth from the typing pool, although she wouldnt need cooking, giggerty. |
