Oh, please. I bet it's been years since you tasted chicken.

Now if you'd said "it tasted like bear," I might have believed you.

bailey beagle sends a lick!

Ya know, growing up on a farm, I never once thought about eating our livestock. I've also eaten a variety of wildlife. Snake, gator, squirrel, coon, etc I've eaten it at least once. It was just a way of life.

However, we never ate our pets.

You eat semen too?

I think you can get alligator at Eastern Market. I've gotten it before.

I'll stick to chorizo and andouille.

Dog, NO... Alligator... had that once, maybe twice...kind of like eating a sponge... just give me a nice steak any day (elk is pretty good)

Kangaroo jerky, fried ants (from a tin), tongue, goat, tripe, ass...

Like Moby I grew up on a farm. Unlike Moby, that's why I'm a vegetarian.

Oh, I could DEFINITELY eat something in that picture. And not the one with the delicious-looking pink belly either.

You can get Alligator at Louisiana Express in Bethesda pretty much any day of the week. They usually offer it as a fried appetizer.

National Geographic channel is run by Fox but the Production/Programming side is still run by the National Geographic organization.

chicken gizzards once... still not even sure what part of the chicken the gizzard is...

I had tiger penis soup on a trip to Beijing. It was only served to the guests as a delicacy. My boss almost hurled at the table. We finished off the meal with a shot of slightly diluted cobra venom that knocked me on my ass. I've never had memory loss from alcohol but I don't remember the night after the shot.

The only time I'm sad about not having a television is when I read about shows like Taboo. Sounds like my kind of kink, and on televeision! Dagnabbit, bunny rabbit.

No, could never eat dog or cat or anything pet-like, i.e. that which I've cuddled up to in my own bed. When you think about it, lobster and shrimp are really just sea cockroaches, and they taste just yummy, so I'm sure all that other stuff would taste just fine, too. Especially fried to a crispy turn.

Ant eggs in Mexico (escamole, I think it's called), fried grasshoppers (Mexico), bees in honey (Japan), raw horse (Japan), zebra at the Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi and some rather unsavory characters right here in SF

I ate horse meat in the Netherlands. A Dutch friend purchased it at his local butcher and encouraged me to try it. It tasted like smoked sausage. He told me most of the horse meat actually comes from the USA. He also mentioned most of the porn in the infamous Dutch sex shops also comes from the States.

When I visited Vietnam they had barrel of cockroaches at the market for snacks.

P.S. Rubber City's story scares me.

While living in Florida, I ate alligator (so-so), rattlesnake (like fried rubber bands), and conch, a Key West specialty and my favorite.

I've also sampled horse, venison, rabbit, goat, and turtle. Didn't like any of them. I'm very sure I could never eat dog or cat, but pretty much anything else I'd give a go.

I've had ostrich steaks (yum) and ostrich ham (tasted like fish--why?). Ostrich is supposed to be healthier than chicken.

Horse carpaccio is pretty good, too.

I don't even want to think about the stuff I ate in China...fortunately I had no idea what most of it really was. I lost 30 lbs that year.

I ate horse sphincter, and a lot of the rest of the horse too, including fermented mare's milk. I think I've eaten all parts of the sheep except bone. You do the math.

Pig balls... Really!

I really doubt the cat boiling and dog picking restaurants were in Thailand. They eat cat in southern China and they eat dog in Korea and Vietnam. In the north of Thailand they eat wasps and locusts.
I've tried dog once. It was OK. Nothing to write home about. I'd rather eat you though.

okay, true confessions? I like endangered species the best-- the more adorable the better. my favorite?... Polynesian Panda Kabobs with Spotted Owl sauce. makes my mouth water just thinking of it... YUM!

I knew an old lady that swallowed... ok, too obvious.

In America, alligator is a rare thing but not outlandish at all - thanks to the deep south and the plethora of gators, I imagine. Very tough meat, anyways, but a fun adventure.

I think for us, dogs and cats, or mice, even, would probably shock the conscience the most, since they are the most common pets. Something like insects (or maybe reptiles) would make us gag the most, cause we generally don't want to be around them in any capacity.

In south africa I've eaten ostrich (in steak and mince form, ostrich steak is the best I've ever had) and springbok (fairly tasty in a casserole). Being British I've also eaten a LOT of offal in my time. Sweetbreads, kidney, heart, lights, and tripe. Ugh.

In July this year I went vegetarian, and at the start of October I went vegan. It's not as hard as people think it is. I decided I can't really justify killing/hurting animals to satisfy my tastebuds, plus it's more environmentally friendly too!
