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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
