That makes sense. But I didn’t think the poll was multiple choice.
While not as common as beef, I’d argue that lamb is pretty common in the US, whether it’s lamb chops or the big cylinder of it in any Greek restaurant / food truck that they shave some off for gyros
I debated whether lamb should be included, but I decided to include it since while it’s not that uncommon, it’s way less common than beef, pork, or chicken, and it’s less common here than it is in other countries.
And I just realized I meant to include horse in the poll, since someone mentioned it in the French restaurant thread. But it is too late to edit the poll now.
You could also include Wildebeest.
I think duck is pretty common. Not like beef, fish or chicken, but I wouldn’t call it unusual like Reindeer (which is pretty common in Alaska).
But if you’re going to include rabbit in the poll, it’s only fair to include duck, so they can argue about what hunting season it is.
I don’t know whether I’ve eaten barramundi. I certainly ate fish when i visited Australia.
In addition to the birds in the poll, I’ve had ostrich, pheasant, and quail. Oh, and some unnamed “songbirds” on a stick in Japan. I really want to try guinea fowl, and I’d like to try grouse.
In addition to the mammals, I’ve had venison, elk, horse, moose, kudu, springbok, impala, wild boar, and warthog. Despite my general curiosity about new meats, I decided not to try whale when i could have bought it at the Bergen fish market in Norway.
In addition to the oddball meats I’ve had American alligator and Australian crocodile.
There are too many fin fish and shellfish to name them. (And i haven’t really kept track.)
With comments like that mebbe it should be WildaBeast season!!! 
I’ve had duck, escargot, and frog legs, all of them on a Carnival cruise back in 2019.
I’ve also had gator meat. AJ Gator’s serves it.
It’s Elmer season!
Rabbit is my favourite meat. Yum!
When travelling in southern Africa, I had a number of game meats (various -buck / -bok things). I don’t think wildebeast was among them, though. And of course I’ve had moose and elk and venison.
I’ve had Kangaroo at a restaurant on the quay in Sydney while we were on our honeymoon. It was… okay. Mrs Magill’s steak was better.
In Africa, I often ate guinea fowl. It was really tasty.
I also had grasscutter a few times. It was nothing special.
Same here, and also sea turtle. (tiny fishing village in Mexico, food issues, if they caught one and it died in the nets they ate it). Also venison, bison, wild boar &, bear. Escargot tastes like bread crumbs in butter with garlic.
Goose is VERY greasy.
I tried cuy when I was in Ecuador a few months ago. I didn’t really care for it. It was maybe kind of like pork, but gamey and fatty.
Oh, I meant to include turtle in the poll, too. That’s what I get for trying to make a poll while also doing work stuff.
Apparently turtle soup used to be considered a delicacy in the US, but fell out of fashion about 100 years ago.
Oh, yeah, i tried that, too. I agree it was “meh”. And turtle soup in New Orleans that tasted like highly seasoned soup. Maybe the turtle added some meatiness? It certainly didn’t add a distinctive flavor.
I may have cheated by selecting ostrich. I’ve eaten the eggs. I’ve pretty much eaten all of the rest except for Guinea pig and the African game.
I’ve never had guinea pig. Despite having kept them as pets, I’d be happy to try it if it was offered. They are cute, but yeah, kinda “prey animals”. But I’ve never been to the parts of the world where they are eaten.
(I don’t think I’d be happy to eat dog or cat. And I’ve cut way back on pork because pigs are too smart.)
That’s why I won’t eat Octopus. That and they’re kind of ugly IMO.
Same.
I could not. My husband has pointed out though that they’re terrible survivalists. Any predator seeking food need only run in the direction of “WEET! WEET! WEET!”
I love them.
