how was the iguana? I have been thinking about roasting mine.

Did the scaly little fucker get into the peanut M&Ms one too many times?

Here in Hawai'i it's fairly easy to get bighorn sheep meat. There's almost always someone who brings it to any barbecue. It's actually a lot milder than you'd expect (maybe something about the environment they live in?) They're an invasive species here that destroy native plants and habitat, so hunting of them is somewhat encouraged. Wild boar meat is also fairly prevalent (you see them everywhere, even in town), but I haven't had the opportunity to try it.

When I lived on the Big Island, down Pahoa way, I had wild boar a number of times. It's fantastic, depending on where it's taken. Never had the sheep, though. I'll have to make a note of that if I ever move back. Nice tip; thanks!

Who else has tried exotic meats, and which are good/bad (I will try eating just about anything once).

Evidently! That's quite a repertoire!

I've never had moose, but I'd be curious to give it a try. I've had elk (which i like quite a bit), venison (which i like almost as much), and buffalo (which I like about as much as much as I like burlap). Also had wild boar in Hawaii, as I mentioned earlier, and it was the best pork I've ever eaten, hands down. Alligator, which I actually kind of liked, but not enough to go out of my way for it again. Wild turkey, which is utterly delicious. Snake. which is quite tasty, and which I would jump at if I get another chance.

The most unusual meat I've ever eaten, though, is a little... painful to talk about. See, back when i was younger, I was a soccer player. Pretty good, actually. Good enough to make the Uraguyan national team, as a matter of fact. Well, one day, we were on our way to a match in Chile, and our plane developed a little problem over the Andes....

After reading these posts I have become a vegetarian. No wonder my cat runs from strangers.

Maybe you should thank Sarah Palin for the nice dinner...

why should I thank someone that had nothing to do with what I was eating? she's amusing and sad at the same time, definately won't be getting My vote if she decides to run for office on any level that has an affect on Me, moreover, she isn't from the state that I live in so she currently doesn't affect anything that I do...which means, she's not My concern.

I eat most everything. moose, bear, snake, horse meat, snails, all seafood. I'm one of those people who believe raw oysters should be so fresh they wince when you squeeze the lemon juice on them.

One of the few things I have encountered I did not like was octopus. It was a texture thing as opposed to a taste thing.

I would love to know how to make a good turtle soup.

Here in Iowa it is mostly beef, pork, lamb, chicken, venison, rabbit, pheasant, turkey, quail, catfish (bleck ), crappie, walleye, bass and other misc fresh water fish, turtle, frog legs, beeffalo and buffalo........cannot think else I've had harvested locally aside from misc small animals like squirrel, possum, etc.

The non local, almost ALL seafood. Everything from the typical lobster, shrimp, clams, yada yada........to the not typical at all like sea urchin or shark. And I adore calimari! Love it! And abalone also, if the person cooking knows what they are doing. If it comes out of the ocean I've either tried it, or would. If I go to gulf I will be eating crawdads, crab, shrimp, gator, wild boar, whatever else my friends drag kicking and squealing to the feast. Snake is fine, would try other reptiles but haven't had the opportunity.

I've had plenty of meats I didn't care for, bear.....no thank you. Some I was.....so so about like the antelope in Wyoming, but the elk my brother had was good. Then again, I've had terrible venison and I love venison. A lot of wild game depends upon who shot it and how they handled it. One wrong cut can ruin the whole mess. So can running it before shooting it. Most rodenty stuff, I didn't hate but can live without.

I've been to many game cookouts so if it is hunted in any way, shape or form, I've probably tried it.

I think a lot of what I eat that people find weird comes from typical meat animals, just the cuts that are not typical. Testicles, tongue, tripe, chitlins, chicken feet and combs. Most people get weirded out but I am adventurous when it comes to food. The only line I draw is bugs. Just the thought of eating them weirds me out. Especially if they are still wiggling or identifiable.

I live in the ArkLaTex. Yep, we eat just about anything here.

. I have had moose jerky, but never any other way. Venison, squirrel, raccoon, possum, alligator, alligator snapping turtle (soup), wild rabbit, rattlesnake, crawfish (love going to crawfish boils; usually a pig is put in the ground at 'em

), wild boar, frog legs (I LOVE frog legs; I used to go gigging all the time), Alligator Gar (big, mean looking fish. It's not bad), Buffalo (in fajitas, very tasty), wild quail, and probably a few others I can't remember.

One thing I don't like about this part of the country is the lack of good, fresh seafood. I gorge myself on seafood when I visit one of the coasts.

You're kidding! I'm really surprised to hear that. You're so close to New Orleans, I'd have thought you'd have access to a lot of fresh seafood. Here in Minnesota, we often get vendors who drive ice trucks straight up from New Orleans, with shrimp, snapper, and other fish packed in ice. It's not the catch of the day, but it's less than a day off the boat by the time it gets here, and it's still pretty good. They set up shop in parking lots, and you buy it straight from the driver. I guess I figured areas only a few hour's drive from New Orleans would have an even better variety to choose from.

Most of what we get is from the Gulf, nothing from the West Coast or East Coast (unless you want to pay a lot for it). I never see fresh seafood around here. We do get shrimp, crab, crawfish, etc that's fairly fresh. You can always find plenty of fresh catfish (not really seafood), but no really fresh ocean fish that's reasonably priced.
