anyone tried any weird meats recently? I have just tried squirrel meat

Hi all,
 
It might sound like I have gone slightly mad, or a little Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall but I have just had a trip home. My folks live near some woods and they have friends who shoot peasents etc,  but this time they had some Squirrel meat, which We cooked up. It tasted great, a little gamey with a nuttyness. It was very lean, and a little tough but If we had properly tendorised it, then it would have been perfect.
 
So no i have tried:
deer, crocadile, bison, kangaroo and squirrel.
 
Anyone had any weird meat recently?
 

I have tried all the above that you mentioned and i have also tried crow.....Very strange taste....

Crow thats weird i must add that to the list!

Pigeon is nice if you can get it.

Raindeer heart, Mmmmmm

Are theses local peasents or just townies on a walk at the weekends   Maybe theyre doggers.
 

Caiman is very nice, just ask you local butcher, he should be able to order some in for you, its not cheap but then you wouldnt be eating it all the time anyway

Try some stuff from this site, I tried horse,springbok,Kangaroo, Wagyu, wild boar.
 
Horse fillet is a good price £3.95 for 300gms
they all taste slightly gamey and just need a flash fry.

Great site I would like to try a lot of these meats.

I was given the site by a friend who has a regular order, she highly recommended the Wagyu fillets, bit expensive but she says its worth it for a treat.

I've tried kangaroo, ostrich, venison, pheasant, bison.
A bloke in work has offered to get me some horse meat but don't think its something I'd try.

Just discovered Bison

More protein pound for pound because it has less fat

I hunt so I have access to all manner of fresh meats,rabbit pigeon pheasant partridge duck and deer
I supply deer to the guys in my gym,they love it,I have also hunted abroad namely Africa,lovey fresh blue wilderbeast T bone staeks cooked outside on the coals,I have had fondoo Kudo,Eland steak Orax stew,not had Giraffe , worthog or Zebra

Wild atlantic salmon, cooked within a hour of it being killed.
 
Doesn't sound weird but quite rare. Very very few people will have tasted a wild atlantic salmon, just that rubbish farmed subsititure.

Nice find!
 
i love exotic meats, tried ostrich, kangaroo, boar, hare (nice in stew), pheasants, partridge, qauil, buffalo, corocdile.
 
squirrel/horse? lol, will have to try that.
 
anyone else have sources for buying? i know hampton has a farmers market but the prices are high!

i live in the sticks and we're always being offered game, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant partridge etc - all tasty - i find slow cooking them is better.
 
I've had kangaroo ostrich wild boar venison horse
 
i might give that website some business i quite fancy trying buffalo

i got hungry on a cutting cycle and ate my cat, two goldfish a hamster and i was still hungry so i ate my own head!

Lol.
 
 
I've tried a few had the usual pigeon, wild boar, venison and rabbit.
 
I've eaten horse and it tasted fine, didn't notice any taste difference really from beef but it was a few years ago. I've also eaten a "burger" in serbia which definitely wasn't beef or any other meat I can think of.

rattlesnake... horrible
elk, bison, venison, reindheer, pigeon, kangaroo all lovely

Ostrich is nice, I've had the real thing whilst working in Israel, and an Ostrich burger from a roadside van in Grimsby.
 
Also had snake in Bejing, not very nice. Real Chinese food is nothing like you get in a restaurant over here, even KFC tastes different!
 
Are Partridge, Pigeon, and Venison classed as exotic?
