Squirrel- Ok, not bad fried. Need like 20 for a meal though.

This isn't exotic at all in Japan but it seems basically unknown outside of it: oden.

i've made wild venison a few times and it's delicious as fuck. the loin cuts are on par with a good steak and i also made chili with ground venison that was also great. people who complain about it tasting "gamy" are faggots who cook it over medium rare. go bloody or go home.

>various insects, kangaroo(delicious), squid, octopus,clams and all the other bullshit from sea, frog legs, various wild birds. Next on my list to fill are snails and crocodile. Most dissapointing are insects, they taste like nothing and chitinous shells suck too. Traditional Czech zabijačka. If aliens came to earth... the first thing that came to my head... How would they taste?

I've had reindeer fillet and it was lovely - like slightly less gamier, slightly more marbled deer. Wonder if it's heavily dependant on cut and preparation

Not bad at all, but I'd guess the taste is related to where you shoot the varmint. Near a city, probably taste like trash. Out in the woods, probably better. I've shot a bunch, mostly in the northwoods of Minnesota. I usually broil them with some herbs and salt. To be completely cliche, they taste like chicken.
>>13608366
Unnecessary pedantry. In this case, exotic means 'unusual,' dickhead.
>>13608398
That sounds awful. Are you an Eskimo?
>>13608504
I've had reindeer/caribou a few times. I think it's a lot like venison, just maybe a little heavily flavored, 'bolder?' Enjoyed it.

Aussie croc boiga. Didnt taste good at all. Granted, this was at travelling food market festival almost literally on the other side of the planet from australia, so I doubt the meat quality was good. Would try again if I ever visit australia.

Pic is from google, dish is from Noma. It was ok, but the larvae just tasted like honey, but slightly burnt/bitter. Pretty good but way over-hyped all in all.
