Ate a kangaroo tail in the Outback. Tail had hide and hair and was thrown in a small fire. Hair burned away. Tour guide shredded some meat with a fork. Thought is was greasy but OK.

Have toured Cambodia, Viet Nam, and China. Always try to eat local food assuming it is refrigerated, free from flies, and cooked properly. If it swims or crawls in the ocean there is a good chance I have tried it.

Usingers had it I can’t bring up their website, theirs had a little too much gelatin for me, I prefer a more shredded meat than chunk with less gelatin.

The kangaroo tail sounds about like porky pine.
Had it cooks on an open fire quils hide and all, then the char was shaved of. Good flavor but greasy and chewy.

I remember eating fried bass eggs when I was a kid
We used to regularly eat ceviche

Most exotic thing I have eaten is stuffed zebra loin a couple years ago

Of course I eat sushi, sashimi and have eaten tuna fresh out of the ocean

On my list of to try is parisa (form of steak tartare)

The T-man feed at the WTA has always had some interesting food items. We will wait to see what new ones may appear this year. I remember the one year there was some bobcat sausage on the menu.

It's strange to most of you Yanks, but I eat grits most every morning for breakfast.

I have eaten a LOT of different animals. Only one I would have to literally be starving to eat is coyote. Some surprised me on goodness. Horse and gar come to mind first.

Had horse in Europe. Giraffe amongst mutiple other game meats in S. Africa. Both were good.

The Cape Buffalo sausage was the only thing I had that was rough. Not real sure how well the intestines were washed before they were stuffed???

When I was younger,,any time we butchered a hog,,we hung it by hind feet and I would cut it to let it bleed out.An old Polish woman that my father knew would come out to the farm and put one of them old galvanized wash tubs under the hog.She would catch all the blood,AND then all the guts,,heart,, kidneys,, liver, everything.We would cut the head off and that went in the tub also.Later she would give us a little brick of head cheese and some blood sausage.The intestines she would rinse out and use to stuff the sausages into.She let nothing go to waste.I liked the head cheese.Any time we would put a whole hog on the spit(usually a smaller younger one) when it was done,, we would crack open the skull and put the brains on crackers.Tastes like smoked fish.Theres not much I havent eaten at one time or another. smile

Here in eastern WI we have a huge German heritage background and head cheese, blood sausage, pork hocks etc. etc. are commonly sold in many meat markets. We have butchered some sheep the last decade or so but as of yet we have not tried Hagus. Not much appetite for that as of yet.
