What's a good online source for buying non-bulk strange meats?

I'm thinking about Christmas shopping and I wanted to give my GF's family something that they'd really like and that they never thought they'd get. They (especially her dad) like strange meats. The result: the whole family would fight over who eats the squirrel tongue.

I find the whole thing disgusting. But I want to please them.

So, I want to find some place to sell me strange meats. I know they've had the standards (most US game meat, frogs, bugs, I think the dad had dog once, etc.) They even joked that they'd have no problem eating human if it was cooked well-done. So, I'm left with things that aren't normally considered food in the US.

I guess examples would help. Can I purchase elephant, kangaroo, sloth, or anything else online? It must be online since I can't walk into my local grocery store and get this. I must be non-bulk, because I imagine this will be expensive.

I'd even settle for animal products: emu egg, horse milk, etc.

Yes, I am serious.

LoL I like this thread already.

I'm not sure about online, but do you have an asian supermarket anywhere near you? There is a chinese supermarket near me that has lots of "strange" things like that. Duck tongue, bull penis, rattlesnake meat, goat, any kind of seafood you could think of, etc.

Edit: bull not pull

Most of those are standard meats. Not strange enough. But, I did see Llama and kangaroo. I bet they've never tried either. Thanks.

Yes, I do believe that is correct, Alton.

A post from Alton Brown would really help on this situation. He could probably devote several Good Eat's episodes to oil-filter-sized meats. I do believe a standard oil filter is about the size of meat that I'd want (not a massive semi-truck filter, but more of a typical auto filter). I am really leaning towards the kangaroo linked so kindly above here.

I like baby back ribs.

Especially if the ribs came from an aardvark.

"Let me make you a deal alright? You get the mojo, you keep your money and I'll get your baby."


"Wait a minute, he kinda looks like a baby. Come here, I'm gonna eat ya. I'm bigger than you, I'm higher on the food chain. Get in my belly."

A friend of mine came back from Australia and brought some kangaroo beef jerky, I had to give it a shot, and was sorry for that almost instantaneously.
It doesn't taste like chicken, unless you consider a rotten chicken.

are we talking alternator sized or something smaller like roughly the size of a brake caliper or rear view mirror?
