It's easy to eat a good variety of common animals, it's harder when you try more exotic animals. For example, during a trip to Iceland recently I was able to enjoy the following in one sitting: puffin, beluga whale, reindeer, and horse steaks. Unfortunately they had sold out of harbor seal shortly before my arrival else I would have gotten that also.

"Exotic" and "Common" are terms based on relative wealth and geography, so I am more impressed by the variety I think. Bringing someone in the Congo an Alaskan King Crab would be an exotic eating experience for them...and some rungs of US society as well.

Horse meat is a taboo in the US, what would you compare it to?

Kangaroo seems to be trendy right now, at least from my recent experiences, which could just be coincidence.

WTF you didn't have room for one measly cocktail shrimp?

Damn..that would have been easy.


That is why you need to bring someone along who will encourage you, instead of look at your gleeful face with disgust as you polish off one more of gawd's creatures. :/

Texture is a bit denser/chewier than cow steak and very filling actually. Very low fat content so not much flavor unless it is well seasoned. Which in my case, most of the steak was liberally coated in a strong berry sauce (lingonberry?) and thus was my least favorite item on the table.

it tastes wilder than cow, it's a redder meat and tastes more like iron, but it doesn't smell like deer. It isn't harder than cow and is juicier/softer than deer, which is often used in stews and stuff because of that, horse instead is cookable like cow. It's also not fat.

Basically it's perfect.

Hmmm.....minus the iron, that sounds very similar to American Buffalo/Bison, which I find myself eating over cow beef any time I have the option. If you haven't ever had it, try it when you get the chance.
 
Brazilian steakhouse =10+
Brazilian Seafood platter = 10+

I'm sure there have been other instances of double digits.

lol, i've eaten there and it was the first place i thought of when i read the thread title. you must have been there pre 2005. i was there that summer and they had recently taken all the exotic meat (zebra, giraffe, wildebeast, etc) off the menu because they apparently weren't all coming from farms as they were supposed to. they were serving camel the night i was there however.

Yep, it was pre-2005! LOL. One of our dining companions was warned not to eat anything that wasn't cooked thoroughly, but he was too cool for that and insisted on having a few meats that were cooked onlymedium rare. He got parasites. I took no chances.

The zebra I had there was in the top 5 things I've ever eaten. Not that I'm much of a foodie, but it was spectacular.

I've never counted... last winter, though, my friends and I all went out to a wild game meat restaurant and we all shared each other's dishes.

I'm generally not a fan of buffet-style dining, though, especially if I've got to pay for it. I'm an adventurous eater, but I have a small appetite. I'd try anything, but I'm usually full after like 4 bites.

Same here. On both counts.

Shared dishes at a wild game restaurant and I have a small appetite. I dislike feeling full.

I don't know, like 10-20? I've eaten hot dogs on more than one occasion. Who knows what they put in wieners. 😛

This. In my lifetime I'm sure I've eaten 30-50 animals from eating hot dogs, McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, Vienna Sausages, Spam, frozen, breaded patties from Kroger's, and Cajun home cooking.
