    Nutria…huge rat common in eastern NC.

    Michael – you mean to say that you would eat Dog and Cat, but would NEVER eat chitlins again. Hard to imagine. I just couldn’t possibly imagine that anyone in the Western World would eat domestic animals. To me, this is very, very sick. I have a dog as do millions of other people, and I just can’t see eating them. Am I wrong, I don’t think so.

    OK, I was tired and got anenomies and urchin mixed up. Sorry…it’s fixed. My brother used to dive commercially for sea urchin and said it was the foulest thing he’d ever tasted…and he loves seafood!

    Meats:

    Buffallo- yes- There is a restaurant near us that makes buffalo burgers. We’ve gone there to get some, and they were closed for the day.
    Moose- yes- Just watched "Taste of America w/ Mark DeCarlo about moose dishes. They looked very tasty- even the moose tongue!
    Kangaroo- I’ll try almost any food once.
    Horse- wilderness
    Deer/Venison- I’ve eaten it- very good, if prepared properly!
    Ostrich- Why not?!
    Dog- Come on now- We tell our kids that our dog is the best kid we’ve ever had!
    Cat- I’m not a cat lover, so I’d probably not be a cat eater, either!
    Rabbit- I’ve hunted rabbit, and it is very good.
    Squirrel- same as rabbit
    Possum- wilderness
    Rat- wilderness, but then there’d be rabbit and squirrel in the wilderness.
    Human- Hey- even I have limits!
    bear- I’d love to try it!
    raccoon , ….c’mon…there’s tons to add to the list…hmm…worms (yuck) How’d raccoons & worms get in the same category- wilderness to both!
    snakes- I’ve watched shows about preparing & eating them- sure, why not?
    kangaroo – very livery- Again, sure, why not?

    Organs and specialty cuts:

    Heart- I like chicken hearts.
    Brain- After seeing Alton Brown’s reaction to a brain sandwich on "Feasting on Asphalt", probably not.
    Sweetbreads- Sorry- don’t know what they are- most likely not bread w/ butter, sugar, and cinnamon, huh?
    Eyeballs- Not likely.
    Pig’s nose- I’m not sure, but only the nose knows.
    Ox tail- At least once.
    Chitlins- Sorry- I’ve heard what they smell like while cooking, from watching Taste of America- NO, NO, NO
    Foie Gras- yes
    Chicken’s Feet- no

    Other/Prep

    Menudo- What the heck is it?
    Livermush- My grandpa used to make something he called liver pudding. If it’s the same thing, yes- I really liked it.
    Head Cheese- no thanks
    Natural casing sausage- yes
    Sausages containing organs and "lights" (lungs)- no
    Balut (Filipino duck egg – with embryonic duck)- maybe once.

    Things that crawl, swim and fly:

    Ants- yes
    Beetles- yes
    bees- yes
    Snakes- yes
    Alligator- yes- Actually, this is something I’d really like to try!
    Nutria- no- I once saw an episode of "Insomniac" w/ Dave Attel, where the local cops were shooting the nutria, because they were such a nuisance.
    Blowfish (Ono)- Only if my life insurance was paid up, and if I had said my last prayers!
    Bats- no
    Eel- yes
    Octopus- yes
    Squid/Calamari- My wife and I both really like calamari!
    Sea anenomes ???
    partridge- yes, even in a pear tree!

    dove- I’ve hunted and eaten dove- very tasty!

    Meats:

    Buffallo YUM
    Moose yes
    Kangaroo maybe
    Horse maybe
    Deer/Venison YUM
    Ostrich yes
    Dog LIW
    Cat Lost for a LONG time
    Rabbit YUM
    Squirrel What’s the point, but yes
    Possum maybe
    Rat maybe
    Human Lost for even LONGER time
    bear YUM
    raccoon maybe
    snakes, I’d rather not know what I was eating, but probably
    kangaroo – very livery

    Organs and specialty cuts: I’ve probably had most of these in sausages, but just to be served a hunk of said organs, I’d have to say No.

    Heart Nope
    Brain Nope
    Sweetbreads Nope
    Eyeballs NO WAY
    Pig’s nose maybe, have to be de-haired
    Ox tail YUM
    Chitlins Nope
    Foie Gras nope
    Chicken’s Feet too little reward for much effort

    Other/Prep

    Menudo Maybe
    Livermush Maybe
    Head Cheese not again
    Natural casing sausage YEP
    Sausages containing organs and "lights" (lungs) Yep
    Balut (Filipino duck egg – with embryonic duck) No, allergic to eggs

    Things that crawl, swim and fly:

    Ants not intentionally
    Beetles ditto
    bees ditto
    Snakes see above
    Alligator tastes like fishy chicken
    Nutria ???
    Blowfish (Ono) no
    Bats no, too helpful, and not much meat on them anyway.
    Eel maybe
    Octopus maybe, if not overcooked
    Squid/Calamari YUM fried calimari w/ marinara!
    Sea anenomes doubtful
    partridge maybe
    squab/pigeon YUM
    dove If not cooked in red wine like my aunt did, looked too gross with that purpleish sauce.

    I have very little trouble consuming any animal that has a legal hunting/fishing season. Most of the ones I’ve tried, I’ve really enjoyed. I just don’t want to know if I’m eating innards, then if I like them, you can tell me what I had.
