What have you eaten?

[Jörg Krüger]

Fresh Kudu liver in a batter of flour and egg with caramelized onions is one of the best meals ever. Not as weird as monkey but definitely good eating.
Had some Meerkat as well, not bad. Does not taste like chicken.

 

[Tgood1]

i married a cajun lady. just about every odd creature we 've eaten really has been fantastic except one horrific pot of shit that is called a bouille ( pronounced boo-ee) which is basically a baked gut pile. damn awful

 

[PARA45]

I hate liver with a passion but will eat deer liver any day. Pan fried with onions, peppers, Mongolian sauce, flour, oh and some ketchup.

 

[PeteG]

Another one to try if anyone gets the chance is Spurwing gizzards, cleaned and cooked over coals with a little salt and peri peri powder.

Damn, now im getting hungry!
Might have to go poaching... ahem hunting... at Takeri Reserve soon while @spike.t is still away.

Sounds great but minus the ketchup please. If any then All Gold tomato sauce.

 

[Rubberhead]

Gnu Gnuts...

But not derived from @Bob Nelson 35Whelen 's tomato stakes please. Them tomatoes will give you lead poisoning . Wait for it, here comes Bob with a means to incorporate the 35 Whelen into this thread,

I can hear Bob now: "I once shot an Wombat with my 35 Whelen and it turned into goulash immediately. I didn't even need to skin or fry it. Makes for some tasty Barbeque. Just needs to be marinaded in some Vegemite and flambéed in Bundy rum "

 

[PARA45]

LMAO!!!!!! I almost spit my coffee, thanks alot @Jörg Krüger. Yeah, I can see @Bob Nelson 35Whelen saying that.

Normal African foods, lots of American wild game, balut in the Philippines hands down the worst and hardest to eat, second to that would be boiled chicken feet. Taste texture as well as look all were bad on both

Bobcat is actually good to eat, so I only cooked it once and this might not count since it was marinated, wrapped in bacon and smoked. Doug3006 had shot it and gave it to me as my family eats wild game on Christmas. Our hunting club served cougar at a function and I remember it tasted like veal. I’ve tried most North American mammals, the only food that I know I will never eat again is buffalo stomach. The trackers in Zambia had cooked it and left the partially digested grass in it, when we asked to try it they were surprise. I bit into a piece and it squirted this acrid juice into the back of my throat that caused my to gag, not wanting to rude and spit it out, I swallowed it without chewing ( like a snake).

Just about every part of an animal, about the the only thing I WILL NOT eat again is boiled bushpig stomach.

We need an Eeww emoji ASAP.
Maybe a Yuck one too

 

[Boyd Brooks]

Mopane worms in Zimbabwe is probably the strangest thing I have eaten.
My PH challenged my daughter and I to a spitting contest. We all picked up a small nugget off the ground, and he goes first. I went second and spit the nugget a little farther than he did. As my daughter puts the brown bit in her mouth the PH announces that it is an eland shit ball. She almost swallowed the little turd from her gag reflex and consequently lost the contest. Even though I didn’t eat it, I would say that is probably the most disgusting thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.

 

[CBH Australia]

Well, I have tried Emu, Kangaroo, Buffalo, Goat, Duck and Yabbies here in Australia.

I ate Wildebeest, Impala and Gemsbok in Africa .

I didn't ask what the Biltong was made from mmm.

I tried calves nuts years ago fresh as they come castrating cattle.

I've eaten a little Fallow deer and some Hog Deer backstrap my mate bought to a hunt.

Baluk, No. But I'm know what it is. I know plenty of Filipino community.

I made some good salami and fresh sausage from Venison/Beef/Pork blend. Pretty good I must say.

 

[CBH Australia]

@Boyd Brooks this could have been named what's the most disgusting thing you have eaten, there is some terrible options here.

 

[Tanks]

I'll eat just about anything in Africa but draw the line at eating carnivores. I have seen the rotten carcasses that lions, leopards, hyenas etc. eat. Over the decades of hunting there I never had stomach issues and would like to keep it that way.

 

[mdwest]

We've got a rule in our home.. with the exception of pests (rats, crows, etc).. if we hunt it, we eat it (or at least try it )...

For the most part, everything we have ever hunted... whether deer, antelope, zebra, wild hog, ostrich, etc has been great.. there have been some exceptions though..

I took a large parakeet (more like a small parrot) in Argentina a few years back... that was bar none the most foul fowl I have ever tasted.. it was like eating a rotten dog turd basted in axel grease... horrible..

The crocodile taken in 2021 wasn't any better.. I thought "I like alligator.. Im sure this will be similar.."... I was WRONG.. Im pretty sure we could have replaced the croc tail with a piece of muddy tractor tire and I wouldn't have known the difference lol...


Im a pretty adventurous eater.. I enjoy traveling and have been blessed with a career that's taken me all over the globe for the better part of the last 30 years.. outside of hunting, there have definitely been some interesting (and less than digestible) meals experienced (and some exquisite, absolutely wonderful meals as well)...

guinea pig in Peru was an "interesting" experience lol.. it wasn't horrible.. but not great either..

cobra in Thailand was reasonably tasty..

camel in Saudi Arabia isn't my favorite.. but its not bad..

Im not sure what half of the things I have eaten in western China and in West Africa have been lol.. but most were somewhere between decent and good..

 

[Hunt anything]

Midwest, crows are actually not bad especially if they have been raiding a corn field, I’ve cooked them med rare like I cook waterfowl.

Mmm.....so now you wait till I am away....at least you are getting more polite....

I’ve had lion but probably wouldn’t again. Crocodile is ok though I wouldn’t ask for it.
