Quite a variety! The majority of meats I have never had,


GUIDO.

I've never had Ostrich or Kangaroo

I've had ostrich and alligator. The gator was much better in my opinion.

When I was there, years ago, a restaurant in downtown PingTung, Taiwan had a cage full of live snakes. All different sizes and breeds. You could pick one you liked and they would kill it and cook it for you.

Apparently they were a delicacy to the locals, but I don't know of any Americans that took them up on it.

Try eating Platypus , it tastes a little like a cross between Wombat and Echidna :lol: :lol:

Do you like Vegemite?

I would try the ones you show, but there are some exotic delicacies I would never ever touch ! Seems like a lot of them weird and in my opinion disgusting ones come from Asia, Africa, or South America.

Guido..... I would eat any or all of those shown. I lived in Oman for 5 years and ate at several roadside food stands. Some of those trips to rigs from our base were 8-12 hours. Had speed limiters on trucks. 80 kph and after that the fuel pump shut down. Shell Oil safety policy. I ate some really weird looking items. I once asked for a salad and it had goat eyes in it. I passed on that though. Also got invited many times by the local Mulah ( religious mayor sort of) to eat with the Bedouins that would stop to rest just outside of the Baker Oil Tool work camp. Most of the time the main dish was roasted goat but there were many other dishes that I ate out of respect but didn't know what it was. This was the real deal. The Bedouins are small to large groups of Middle Eastern desert travelers. Wingnut

Guido,
Looks tasty. I imagine you had already ate the Baby Seal Beefstick? I don't see it in the picture. (grin)

You've been jerky shopping on eBay? That's where I got my variety packs. The antelope & kangaroo are my favorite. The gator is ok. I prefer mine fresh. It's been an annual treat for me to order up some gator meat from a place in New Orleans & make gator po' boys for my b-day. I'd say it can't be beat, but you really need to beat the snot out of the gator pieces to get them tender. Well worth the effort. Quite tasty.

Sign me up. When I lived in NC Washington state, I did my best to help depopulate the area of diamondbacks. Easy to skin, easy to debone after some simmering & finish on the grill with a little garlic & pepper. Always make them fresh. Fridging or freezing makes them harder to debone & shoe leather tough.

Yes I do Ford 860
On toast for breakfast most mornings .
I've only really started eating it again after five years .

A US company bought Vegemite out , changed the formula and created an un Godly concoction no one would eat , they even changed the name to ' I snack 2.0 ' :shock: What did they think they were ? Just what did they think they would achieve ?
It's now back in safe Australian hands and thankfully is still a delicacy to be favoured.

Must have sold out of Possom and Muskrat.
