The only meats I’ll really eat are chicken, fish and cow. With that said, I also love the animals as they are and **** what the toxic vegan community has to say.

 

[D'Snowth]

Same.

You might say no to this, but someday you might change your mind.
Once I went to a restaurant that served exotic meats- alligator, ostrich, snake, etc. I wasn’t sure at first, but alligator wasn’t that bad. It seems to be more popular down in Florida, where gators are everywhere.
Gator tastes a little like a pork chop.
We might think it’s gross, but in other parts of the world it’s no big deal.

one college professor I had was a missionary in Africa, and said one delicacy is live crickets.
Protein rich.

I'll admit there were two kinds of meats I was kind of forced to try against my will: one was frog, the other was octopus . . . and I cared for neither of them.

Frog legs admittedly did taste like chicken, like people say . . . chicken marinated in pond scum, that is.

The octopus . . . no flavor, rubbery and chewy.

 

[LittleJerry92]

Yeah, I’ll pass on snake meat. Heard it is VERY rubbery and chewy. I have wanted to try gator myself.

I flat out refuse to eat frog legs. Frogs are gross as is with how slimy they are. I never had calamari with the fact that I do not like the idea of putting tentacles in my mouth.

 

[D'Snowth]

Calamari (squid) and octopus are different creatures, but yeah, I get what you mean.

 

[LittleJerry92]

Oh, right, it’s squid, I thought it was octopus.

Yes, squids are octopuses.

 

[Any Del]

Why eat meat that has NO flavor?

 

[fuzzygobo]

Calamari is like scallops. If they’re overcooked, they’re impossible to eat.
Again, in other parts of the world, they eat it as much as we eat chicken.

 

[D'Snowth]

Calamari is . . . not that bad, if I'm being honest . . . but, I find it needs two things to make it tolerable: decent breading, and a good dipping sauce.
