Most Exotic Meat?

Witchetty grub

Marshmallowy.

[Moscow Mule]

Bear & wild boar in Moscow.

I have eaten swordfish and shark on my travels in the South Pacific. I won't eat shark now having swum with so many of them - I think they are beautiful creatures that deserve to be left alone.

Does Kobe beef still count as exotic?

I tried a swordfish steak once in Amsterdam - that was before I knew that they are usually thoroughly infested with the same kinds of nematode worms as dogfish (and yes, the worms are in the muscle too) ..

Being near the top of the food chain, swordfish are also said to be infested with mercury.

They say you're not supposed to eat more than one swordfish steak a week, for that reason.

Guinea pig, llama and buffalo (although the latter was from the farm down the road here)..

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly


The jury is still out re the motives of this particular incident

[Platypus]

Whale and Reindeer

Both yummy

I tried to remember if I'd had alligator, but then remembered I hadn't; I used to work for some chaps who had a restaurant that served it, but I never got the opportunity to sample it myself.

I sampled it and you didn't miss much.

There's something about eating carnivore's that's just not right imho.

... The difference in taste between farmed and wild game is staggering.

Is that to do with a form of BSE in wild game?

I've had snake, ostrich and kangaroo - the last two were fairly often on the canteen menu at Nestlé HQ.

A dish made of fish stomach (don't know which one) was surprisingly delicious.

For breakfast yesterday I had scrambled eggs topped with caviar. Very yummy.
