Have you ever eaten any exotic meats like whale, bear, alligator, giraffe, etc? How were they?

>> No.11823324

Crocodile if that counts. It's like a weird mix between fish and chicken.
Kangaroo might be considered "exotic" to non australians but most people I know have tried it, and I eat it semi regularly.

Curious to know what whale tastes like but I don't think I'll ever get a chance to try it.

I had alligator and it sucked. But I had it as burger and have been told it shouldn't be eaten that way.
I had sliders made with camel, red deer and water buffalo once. They were all delicious.
I've eaten shark meat.
I've had peafowl, which tasted kind of like Turkey except not shit.
There's probably some that I'm forgetting.

Not nearly as much as I'd like. Fried alligator or crocodile. It was like chicken but it had a slightly gamey aftertaste. Not unappealing, but in that form at least it wasn't great.

The whale is somewhere between tender steak and a nice chunk of tuna. The horse was a stocky horse and was similar to beef. Puffin is a dark meat, fatty bird. And kangaroo tenderloin was fantastic.

>alligator
I've had alligator on multiple occasions. Latest of which was in the French Quarter of New Orleans. In every prepared fashion it tastes like the worst frozen chicken you could imagine. Even cold McNuggets taste better than alligator.

>whale
I've had whale sushi in glorious nippon-wa.
It tasted like chewy fishy beef. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have it again.

>Fish eyes
Today I even got the balls up to eat the eyeball of a tilapia. It tasted like the rest of the fish, except fishier. No biggie.

>Sea Urchin
My favorite sushi joint used to serve sea urchin. It was kinda gross smelling and tasting but made me oddly nostalgic. I grew up in the Philly/South Jersey area and of course that mean trips to Wildwood. Anyone whose been there knows that distinct briney, salt-water marsh smell that greets you once you start to cross the bridge. Urchin tasted just like that marsh smelled. Very salty. Very fishy, but not gag-worthy.

>Natto
If I had a gun to the back of my head and a car battery clamped to my balls, I wouldn't eat Natto again. Same sushi place and I had an idea of what to expect. I knew that most people didn't like Natto because of the texture. Nasty looking soybeans with gross semen strands all over it. I was not prepared for the taste. It started off as musty. Like bran flakes but fragrant. Then moved into bad sweat smell on your tongue. Each chew brought a fouler and worse sensation of the tongue until it was like jamming a cum-stained sweat sock into the back of your tongue and chewing on it. I have never in my life had a more unpleasant experience in my life. Out of five people, only two managed to swallow half of a gunkan maki. It was a terrible thing to have inflicted upon my mouth and I would not wish it upon my worst enemy.

Whale is good, like slightly fishy beef but tender and nice. Bear is tasteless and bland, the fat isn't very nice. Real caviar is overrated, I prefer whitefish roe. Fun fact: roe from pike caught in winter makes great caviar if you get all the stringy stuff out with an electric whisk. Reindeer is basically the best meat I know, the taste is really unique and far from other deer. Even the thick white fat is tasty in itself. The shark I've tasted was meh. I'd rather eat perch or any other common fish. Wild boar is better than regular pork even if it's a bit leaner and drier. Black/wood/red grouse is amazing, spend my autumns hunting those. I'd really love to try bison, snake, alligator and kangaroo, should check the deli sometime.

Plenty of butchers in Europe and asia stock horse meat. It's a delicacy in both France and Japan.

Today there is a strong black market for Horsemeat in and around Florida due to demand from immigrants.

How so? Do you even understand the topic you're talking about? Educate yourself. After the US banned horse slaughter this created said black market for horsemeat. How did people get meat when they couldn't get it legally? Well, criminals would break into people's stables, murder their pet/working/race-horse, butcher it onsite and pack out the meat. How do you convince your customer that what you're selling is real horsemeat? With cellphone video of the butchering, of course. This is a real thing. Google it. Banning horse slaughter in the US created that problem. Google "illegal horse slaughter Florida".

This is a great example of how banning something only makes the problem worse.

I have no idea when it started, but I would assume since the country was colonized. After all, nobody wants to waste the meat from a horse back in the days of westward expansion.
I know my parents bought it during the 1950's and 1960, in Chicago and in Texas. If you had money you bought beef. If you couldn't afford beef you bought horsemeat. Many classic American children's books that I read as a kid in the 80's talked about it as part of daily life. The other poster above mentioned Beverly Cleary, I remember those books too and a quick google search suggests they were written during the 1960s. I remember seeing horsemeat being a plot point in a couple of the episodes of the old B&W Lassie TV show too. Wikipedia suggests that the TV show ran from 1954 to 1973.

A lot of people who are opposed to horse slaughter are quick to parrot the meme "but that was just for zoos and export". that's a case of presentism. *At the time the slaughterhouses were closed* that's where *most* of the meat went. But that's ignoring the fact that for decades before eating horsemeat was a thing. As beef production increased industrialization and became cheaper it displaced horse as the choice for poor people. McGee tells us that factory farmed beef really took off in the 1960's, so I would think that the decline happened around that time.

Horsemeat was only eaten by the poor in brief periods of economic hardship, WW1&2 and the oil embargo in the early 70's, you idiots. Otherwise horsemeat was exported to the barbarous nations of savages that ate it or canned for dog food which incidentally, is literally the only reference in any Beverly Cleary book.

>> As of 2007, it isn't even exported because no money is being allocated for inspection of horse slaughterhouses
yes, that's the whole point. Horsemeat was de facto banned because of that. As a result, certain minority populations started killing people's pets to get horsemeat which they could no longer get legally.

>starts happening in 2015 in isolated areas of FL in enclaves of recent Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants
Hmm, correlation maybe doesn't equal causation, ya think? 100% of the horse meat slaughtered at the time the ban was instituted went to zoos or barbarians in other countries and the 3 slaughterhouses were owned by yurop savages. There was no public outrage, quite the contrary.

>Before 2007, three major equine slaughterhouses operated in the United States: Dallas Crown in Kaufman, Texas; Beltex Corporation in Fort Worth, and Cavel International in DeKalb, Illinois. All were Belgian-owned, with Multimeat also having French and Dutch ownership; Velda owned Cavel, Multimeat owned Beltex and Chevideco owned Dallas Crown. The slaughterhouses exported about $42 million in horse meat annually, with most going overseas. About 10 percent of their output was sold to zoos to feed their carnivores, and 90 percent was shipped to Europe and Asia for human consumption.

I'm not sure what the rest of your post is rambling on about. All I'm saying is that there was some horsemeat consumption in the US, by poor people. And that the problem of illegal horse slaughter by immigrants increased after the last slaughterouses were closed in 2007. Nothing more. Nothing you have posted refutes either of those two facts.

This is because people are stupid.
Horse slaugherhouses served a useful purpose: they provided meat for the small market who wanted it, and more importantly they provided a place to get rid of old horses. Now I know the latter sounds horrible, and I agree that in a perfect world people would let an old horse live out its days, fed and cared for. But the fact is that some people can't afford that, and other people are assholes. So you know what else happened when the legal abbatoirs were closed? People with unwanted horses didn't have a place to send them , and so you had a huge uptick in cases of neglect.

Horse lovers thought they wanted to make horse slaughter illegal, but they fucked up and made problems worse. This is the kind of dumb shit that happens when people let their emotions make decisions for them.

Ending legal slaughter may have reduced some cruetly, but it created a mountain of neglect cases and created a horrible black market.

You misunderstand me then.

Poor people of every flavor (though statistically most likely to be white, given the demographics at the time) ate it until around the mid 1960's. Of course they weren't eating it "regularly"--after all, they are poor, so meat of any kind was a relative luxury. But it was available from butchers, just like how cheap offal cuts are today. After that point beef became cheaper, so from then on it was a rare product only purchased by people who had some kind of historical connection to eating horse, like the aforementioned immigrants in Florida.

Poor people stopped eating it in and around the 60's. The only group left, a tiny tiny one, stopped in 2007 when they switched to the black market instead.

Seal meat is amazing. Pig of the sea. Fatty, salty, moist and can be eaten raw. Can it, preserve it, live off it for years. Amazing animal. Why people get so hot under the collar about killing seals, I will never understand. From the environmental stand point, they are a pest and decimate the Atlantic cod fish population if the seal population is left uncheck. This is why there is still a seal hunting season in the Atlantic coast of Canada. Personally, my uncle was a hunter and a fisher until the green cry babies got more power and put an end to most of the hunting season. Its almost next to impossible for individuals to get hunting permits and its just these hippies that swear they are against the government man who actually end up giving the government man more power over us common folk.
