Your fav non-typical meat

[sodapop]

Anyone ever watch all the gross stuff that Andrew Zimmern puts in his mouth on that show called "Bizarre Foods"?

Rotten shark meat, testicles of all kinds, eyeballs, etc. I wonder if he actually likes eating that stuff, or if he does it strictly for the shock value?

i think he actually does like the crap he eats...his belly looks like he enjoys it anyways hehe

but i can't take listening to that guy...something about him grates on my nerves...Anthony bourdain is the man though

Forgot to add that when in the Northern Territory a few years ago I had buffalo and camel at different bbqs. The buff was great but the camel was revolting!

Isn't nutria like a big swamp rat that was imported here from who knows where. I had a buddy that used to trap them in Lousiana. I think I'll stick to buffalo, beef , and chicken. And if anybody uses a turkey fryer be sure and use it ouside(common sense you would think) But I've actcually been on a couple of fires where they were being used in garages. One guy actually burned his garage down kind of ruined his Thanksgiving day. Happy eating

Hi Mike,

They get a bit bigger than a rat up here in MD, but they are a swamp rat of sorts. We are not lucky enough to have a bounty on them though.

I love Boar bacon, oak smoked if possible, grated mature cheese on top, grilled enough to melt, place a fresh chilli on top, roll it up and skewer it closed, grill it for another few minutes add a sprinkling of fresh ground black pepper and fried chilli flakes. OMG wonderfull, and hot enough to make anyone happy.

Add garlic and herb mayo to the centre of the chilli to cool it for the weak. Or simply for flavour if your making 10 or more...hehe

Aside from that I love rabbit way more than wood pidgeon, with kangaroo and alligator coming in next followed by mongolian duck. rich as anything but an absolute treat for the palate.

It just has to be moose (makes the best burges ever) and smooked/sundried reindeer heart. Yeah, the last one is very typical things from the northen parts Sweden and it taste wonderful:-)

(then we also have another favvo over there but it's a very tricky subject here to eat so just say, it can wear a saddle and contains 3 times as much protein compair to cow and 3 times less fat)

When we are in Sweden I take my American husband on all these "veird" food trips and I tell ya, he loves it

Tina, I want to know more about the fine print....we are one of the only nations that don't eat "things that wear saddles". With less fat and more protein it sounds like it would be better for us than beef..........so for the big question, what does it tast like?? Does it bear any similarities to beef??

You guys are making me hungry. My experience is pretty limited to deer, moose, partridge, rabbit, and wild boar.

I love the boar and moose the most. I don't hunt big game though so the only thing I have a chance of getting is the partridge or rabbit.

Best seafood I've ever had was grilled swordfish, with a lemon-honey-butter sauce. It had to be eaten with a spoon because it fell through the fork. Best I've ever caught and eaten is Blackend Blacktip Shark- Get you a propane burner, a really big cast iron skillet, and a half a beer. Light the burner and get the skillet WAY red hot, 'spill' your half beer in the blackening mix, dunk the shark steaks. Approach the skillet with caution, preferably from up wind- or have a fan blowing. Carefully slap the shark onto the skillet and have the STEEL spatula ready. At the right cooking temps, it happens like this....<toss> FOOSHSSSSSS <flip> FOOSHHHHHHHSSSSSSS <dinner is served>.

kangaroo...strong flavour....very low in fat....

Yes..kangaroo has other uses besides giving us lacing!
