So, reading the deer hunting thread made me curious. Does anyone here eat stuff other than deer and whatever common shit you get at the store? Last year I got a beaver from the trapline, took it home and butchered it and let me tell you that tenderloin rivals the best beef I've had. The rest of the beaver is cut up into jerky meat, but I haven't done anything else with it yet.
Anyone else do 'exotic' meats? I will barely accept squirrel and rabbit as long as you share a favorite recipe.

Re: Tell me about your meat
My roommate last year loved to cook and had family who hunted elk and moose. They'd send him meat every year and occasionally he was generous enough to cook some steaks for us. Really gamey, but not bad at all.

Re: Tell me about your meat
Interesting, I've never even seen moose meat.
Re: Tell me about your meat
Interestingly, my mom always substituted ground chuck venison for beef, cause of how much leaner it is, in all my meals in my teen age years till I moved out and I was never aware till I tried a regular hamburger at a grill out once and was like, "This burger tastes funny."
Rabbit is good, and can be interesting if they don't clean all the shot out.

It shrivels up when it's cold.

Re: Tell me about your meat
I've eaten emu, gator, buffalo, beefalo, ostrich, snake. All were pretty good, but I really dont actively seek them out.

Best/worst choice?
Re: Tell me about your meat
The gator was pretty damn good. The emu was OK.

I have learned it is 100% all in the way it is CLEANED and prepared way more than the cooking part but that too is important

Re: Tell me about your meat
I have a friend with a fish pond who shoots the blue herons. Probably illegal, and I don't necessary agree with the practice, but he said they taste like dove. I myself have enjoyed most of the above with the exception of moose and shark, and add to that snapping turtle, which was quite tasty but a pain in the ass to dress out.

I guess I've had bison & shark also. I like bison, but it's way too expensive to buy regularly.

RE: Tell me about your meat
I will eat just about anything literally, except turtle. Don't fuck with my turtle homies.
I've had frog legs, squid, bison, ostrich, etc. I wanted to try shark meat when I was in Florida not long ago but that didn't happen. Frog legs were surprisingly good. Squid isn't particularly good I just like grossing my ladyfriend out by eating tentacles in front of her.
I have no first hand knowledge of exotic meat preparation. Except my own meat, which is very tender yet firm and pairs well with curtains of beef marinated in lady butter.
