I have nothing to add to the list, since I’m a determinedly unadventurous eater, but I have to ask…“Animals I Have Eaten”. Where is that _from_?! I’d swear it was a comic strip punchline, and I have the visualization of Bucky from _Get Fuzzy_ writing a book… ---

I’m not going to list all mine, I just want to say how relieved I am that I’m not the only one to have had rattlesnake (I made mine teriyaki style on the grill). ---

Well, I’ve had rabbit, deer, moose, and bear, but never with prior knowledge. Some kids will eat anything if you tell them it’s beef stew. 😉 ETA: Not that I think badly of people who eat any of that; I just don’t care for being lied to about my food. ---

To the collective list I’ll add barramundi. At the time of consumption I was told that this was the largest species of freshwater fish in the world. Google doesn’t seem to agree with that statement. Australia, give it up, you already have the biggest snakes, spiders, crocs, and insects already; you can’t hog all the animals. ---

[QUOTE=Sapo] Can we have the list with all fish compressed into a single “fish”? That I don’t see on the list: capybara Lapa Danta Bat Possum The last two are just nasty [/QUOTE] I was watching a show on some learning channel, and they were showing some people who were preparing bat stew for some kind of special celebration. That was one of the grossest things I have ever seen, and I don’t gross out easily (watched an autopsy, then went for lunch) - the bats were not chopped up, just stewed. ---

[QUOTE=Kalhoun] Would you eat a penguin? [/QUOTE] In a Shackleton-esque situation, certainly. Otherwise, it’s quite far down the list. ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] Intentionally? [/QUOTE] I ate the red ants because I thought the formic(?) acid would taste of something, and ate the ladybird to freak out a girl by pretending it was a brightly coloured designer party drug tablet… I was young and foolish. ---

[QUOTE=featherlou] I submit we’ve all dabbled in cannibalism - who hasn’t ingested some fluids from another human being? Why quibble at a bite of human steak when we’ve all drunk the juice? 😃 I have to go make lunch now. [/QUOTE] Well, you can read #7 in more than one way I suppose.
