Went to a hunting expo about a decade ago and had probably 50 different samples of exotic game before I couldn't eat any more. Tried everything from camel to zebra. IMO, most mammals taste pretty similar and reptiles are pretty bad tasting unless deep fried which makes everything at least palatable.

I’ve never tried possum.
I’ve had smoked raccoon before though, made by someone who really knows how to hunt/dress it. It honestly tasted similar to smoked pork to me.

>>15569921
Wow that sounds amazing where was that

Michigan

I had a raw antelope heart once. It was pretty good. Other than that I've had gator, kangaroo, snake.

>I really want to try pic related or raccoon.
You must REALLY want a parasite, huh OP?

>>15569906
>wanting to eat rat meat

Is that a big opossum pussy? What do you think it feels like

It's a pouch. They're marsupials, like kangaroos.

>>15570197
Soooo does it feel good orrrrr

>>15569906
POSSUM BEBBEHS

Actually it was some dudes with a banjo plus guitar & upright bass.
It honestly made the experience of trying raccoon more enjoyable; seemed like more of a local context.

>>15570179
They are marsupials you double nigger

>>15569921
>and reptiles are pretty bad tasting unless deep fried
Rattlesnake (specifically timber rattler) is pretty good just pan fried. I'd compare it to eel, but much oilier and a distinctly different aftertaste.

>>15570606
It's not like many marsupials don't fill nearly the same niche as rodents, even down to appearance. Not sure how that affects the taste, though.

Possums aren't good eating. Racoon, armadillo, and some others are good tho especially in low cooked situations. Oklahoma fag here. Most reptiles are pretty good if handled and prepared properly. Snake, gator, turtle are all great with the right preparation.

>>15570152
Didn't know they hunt Zebras in Michigan.

>>15569906
What the fuck is going on in this picture? Is that it’s guts?

>>15569921
Camel and llama taste pretty great. I feel like that is not something I could share outside of /ck/.

>>15571114
It's a pouch with babies inside.

Had pic related on my last trip to China. I didn't like the way it squirmed and squeaked but since that time all other food just seems tasteless to me. I'd like to go back some time and have more after the quarantine is lifted

Gator is pretty good! Ostrich is decent, very dry and tough, like lean, gamey turkey.

Not sure if it can be considered unusual but I regularly eat horse and it's absolutely delicious, very low fat and rich in iron, I much prefer it than beef or other red meats and it's even cheaper.
I also tried alpine ibex salame (pic related), and I loved it.

>>15571153
I was told it tastes like chicken but very dry, is it true?

Has anyone ever tried bugs?

>>15571810
No and never will

>>15569906
Can I fuck that when the babies leave?

Is deer outside the norm?

>>15572800
Not at all

>>15572793
Go for it bro

>>15569906
Once I had carpincho (pic related) pickled a little too gamey to my taste but is good, taste mostly like a hare
Fried frogs are great
Tried croc was okay
I was offered armadillo once but didn't seem like something tasty so declined

>>15570189
shut up redditor

>>15569906
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? WHY IS IT EATING ITS OWN GUTS?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>15572936
they are its babies in a pouch i think

>>15572936
That is an American oppossum. The Aussie version is a different species, and is actually cute.

>>15572966
>Implying opossums are not adorable.

>>15572936
they’re babies, this clears it up

>>15571153
Oh you.

>>15572907
>shut up redditor

>>15573087
WHY DOES IT HAVE SUCH A HUGE VAGINA?

>>15573172
>While filming in China, Tarrantino mentioned a Chinese phrase he kept hearing, that apparently meant "very good, excellent!". When asked for a translation, locals told him it meant "cow vagina".
>Laughing, Tarrantino asked, "why do you call things "cow vagina?!?" The local grinned broadly and replied, "BECAUSE IT'S SO BIG!"

>>15569906
aside from game meat, Ive never had an exotic meat or unusual cut of meat that I found better than typical meat. Frog legs were cool, but basically just harder-to-eat chicken. Most cultures that eat shit like this are just trying to make do with what they have, and the most popular cuts of meat are the most popular for a reason.

Seafood is another story. Im usually impressed with trying new seafood.

dont forget the drunk dude blowing on the lip of an empty milk jug

>>15569906
Possums are bros and they eat ticks and other nuisances, you should let them be.

>>15569936
You can know how to hunt and dress a creature, still don't know shit about cooking.

>>15569906
I ate your moms roast beef

>>15573560
How well (or not) you dress wild game has a massive impact on how it tastes.

>>15569906
I had alligator sisig in the PI some years back. Pretty good, a little chewy but I think they overcooked it a little.

>>15569906
I want to try cui
