I had spotted owl. It tastes alot like eagle.

But seriously, one of my jobs in the travel biz was with a hunting/fishing/adventure travel company. Each year the staff would have a wild game barbecue. One person there claimed that he was cooking hippopotamus. I tried it. Evidently, hippo tastes alot like antelope.

Years ago, the Daytons store in downtown Minneapolis used to have a department where you could buy all sorts of weird foreign food. I specifically remember canned lion.

Nope. Never tried it.
