/ck/ - Food & Cooking

A while back they were talking about selling Lion Meat tacos at a restaurant in San Diego. I was all ready to try it, but protesters fucked it all up.

They were gonna sell for 8 bucks a pop.

I want to hunt and eat a panda, but them Fuckin gooks are all muhh endangered species n shit

Ive eaten dried ostrich meat. Its a really nice snack.

Human flesh

Whale looks fuckin yum. Feel like i'd probably have to go to Japan to get my hands on some though.

Unborn puppy

baby pygmy hippo

imagine how tender and succulent it must be.

not gonna lie. i wanna eat a baby seal and wipe my mouth with a puppy.

>>8058038
Looks like frog

I think we can buy frozen ostri h here in the UK. We can definitely buy frozen kangaroo

>>8057838
It's very fatty or very stringy depending on the part.
>>8058013
By the time it gets to shore, it is usually rancid. Basically the blubbery part tastes like fishy pork, and muscle part tastes like fishy beef.

I really wanna try seal.

>>8058013
I've had minkewhale. Tastes of venison-y tuna or fishy beef, whichever makes most sense to you.

Tried:
Bull (I didn't know you could eat them, always thought the meat would be too tough)
Kangaroo (pretty fucking good)
Donkey (like horse but tougher)
Ostrich (tastes like goose)

Want to try:
Crocodile
Buffalo
Ball fish
American beef (not very exotic but I know that the animals are fed differently and thus taste differently)

Iguana from Tijuana.

tried whale, seal, and reindeer.

>>8058217
>reindeer
Santa is disappoint.

Tried alligator
Was like a tough steak only kind of porky and chickeny, Idk was a long time ago.

our teacher in year 4 set up a lunch for us where she cleaned and carved up a fucking crocodile tail

i dont really remember what it tasted like, we only cared about (what we thought was) a gigantic crocodile dinosaur-tier tail

>>8058410
That's pretty accurate except for the toughness. Yours wasn't prepared properly.

I've dined in Louisiana more times than I can shake a stick at.

I've tried chicken meat.

>>8058438
Look at the big man on campus.

King of the castle.

roadkill

>>8058435
Was at alligator Jacks or some shit in Dallas.

>>8058119
Yea I don't know what you're talking about. They wouldn't sell rancid whale

I've had whale in Japan. Went with a group of 5 people and we all had whale different ways. It basically taste like shitty tough beef. All the cooked dishes were pretty tough and it was only kind of enjoyable when it was raw and sliced extremely thin.

It wouldn't be too bad if it was way cheaper than beef, but since its more expensive and not as good I don't understand why anyone would eat it. Talking to some older Japanese that lived out in the country, its used to be cheaper and basically only served with school lunches. It can be bought at the grocery store but the main people buying it are the people that grew up eating it. Its nowhere to be found in Tokyo grocery stores.

>>8058146
Mostly tasted tougher venison-ier beef to me.

>>8057838

I ate Cougar. It was like a gamey pork.

>>8058013
go to Iceland instead and you can have puffin and shark along with your whale.

>>8058707
Shark is fairly common in Japan. Can't get it all the time but any place specializing in fish has it and a lot of the regular grocery stores have it seasonally

>>8057838
>horse
i want so bad to try it, but here in the US, they dont like eating horse...

:'(

>>8058872
It's pretty good, a little sweet. Nice texture and taste.
Will eat again.

>>8058094
I've heard Iceland sells all sorts of shit, i just never bother shopping their

>>8058217
>reindeer
come to finland

>>8058962
No Christmas for you!

>>8058962
>>8058217
>tried
fug, kind of tired here

>>8058965
can have christmas without presents :^)

>>8058216
You can eat them in the South, not here, the only iguana here is marihuana

Literally any of them.

>>8058185
I tried alligator when I went to Florida. I assume they taste pretty similar to crocodile. I don't remember a lot about the flavor, but I do remember it being pretty savory. It's definitely something I'd try again.

Buffalo is alright. I feel like it gets hyped up a lot. It's leaner than beef and has more protein than beef so it's healthier for you, but if it's not prepared right it can get very dry. Tastes like low quality beef. I prefer elk.

>>8060010
Only marriage iguanas

>>8057838

SA here, we have ostrich quite often. extremely lean and an absolute bitch to cook.. an extra minute unattended is the difference between a dry stringy piece of meat and a perfectly cooked melt in your mouth piece.

>>8057843
Liberals really are a cancer to society.

>>8061142
You got that right.
But still though, Hilary 2016.

>>8061161
Hell yeah, Hilldawg! Treason is a rite of passage!

>>8057843
You shouldn't eat big preadator the mean isn't good and it focuses the toxic shit from the entire food chain bellow into the meat.

>>8058013
Had a whale steak burger in Norway it's a very rich salty meat. Nice but you don't want too much at once.

>>8061194
Yeah, tuna and swordfish are garbage meat...

>>8061207
I've had swordfish and it was damn good. Too thick to cook on a normal skillet, though.

>>8057838
I've had an ostrich burger before, don't remember it being anything spectacular. Was definitely dry.

>>8057843
I had mountain lion tacos once.

Wasn't that great desu; it was slow-cooked for a day or so so it was tender enough but it tasted kind of like liver and was fairly gamy to boot.

>>8057843
As a general rule, you want to avoid carnivore meat.

>>8058872
I don't understand why you can't get horse meat in the US.

I've tried plenty of meme meats including all sorts of African shit. It's fun to do for the novelty but there's nothing I've eaten that can't be beaten by a good, well prepared steak.

>>8057838
human

There are very few animals I won't at least try. Let me judge for myself whether it should be eaten. Oh, you're going to turn your face at the thought of eating dog? Fuck you, there is nothing special about dog. I'm not asking you to serve me your fucking pet, assholes. Chicken breast and hamburger for every meal is fucking boring.

>>8061790

Reindeer
Ostrich
Kangaroo

Buffalo

>>8057838

>flightless bird

Ever had chicken or turkey? They're extremely intriguing

>>8057838
ostrich is like a cross between poultry and sirloin. Pretty fucking good IMO

>>8064617
You think you made a clever joke, don't you

>go to Paris
>can't speak French
>go to nice restaurant, see "otruche" on the menu
>ask waiter what it is
>he barely speaks English
>makes a flight gesture with his arms and says "le grand canard" (the big goose)
>may as well order it, it was pretty good
>later look it up on a dictionary
>I had eaten ostrich steak

>>8057838
emu is fucking delicious, 10/10 sausage meat

I want to eat a fucking dodo
A whole dodo cooked rotisserie style
But even if we eventually clone them somehow, it just won't be the same

I'm south african so I've tried quite a lot

Tried:

Kudu (Biltong, boerewors and steak. Biltong was nice)

Ostrich (Steak, burger and biltong, all pretty good)

Giraffe (dried boerewors aka droewors, was absolute garbage )

Springbok (in a stew, was okay)

Blue Wildebeest (steak, very nice)

Impala (in a stew, was okay)

Eland (biltong, i dont think it was actually eland it tasted a lot like kudu)

Want to try:

Cape buffalo

Warthog

African bush pig

Kangaroo

American buffalo

Waterbuck just to know how shit it tastes

battered and deep fried

>>8057838
Tried mountain lion (closest taste is pork), bear (dogshit), elk (leaner beef), whitetail and mule deer (Slightly game-y beef), pronghorn (utter shit) bison, gator, and pretty much every mammal in africa (except elephant, hippo, lion and leopard).
Zebra takes the cake. I get why the japs are obsessed with horse meat now.

>>8057838
What does a penguin taste like? Chickeny fish? Or fishy chicken?

>>8065107
Warthog was disappointing. Apparently the young ones are great though.
Waterbuck is meh, cape buffalo is similar to the eland just a little tougher.

>>8058965
MML

>>8057838
Bison was great. Was like a dark beef, like if you slightly burnt a burger, but in a good way.

Tried(mostly little to no seasonings because i'm plain and boring)
>horse
>whitetail deer(too sweet for my taste)
>moose(also too sweet)
>rabbit (fine but boring plain)
>guinea pig
>rat
>squirrel
>raccoon(garbage in every shape or form)

Not sure why people think deer is gamey. Its not awful or anything, similar to beef but it tastes too sweet to me. I would have tried wolf knowing that its total shit but just skinning one made me want to gag. Wolves and coyotes smell awful inside and out.

I want to try hourse
