Thread "What animals have you eaten?" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

I'm still shocked at people's teeny fish lists. -_-

One of the main reasons most of us haven't tried too many terrestrial animals and birds is because most taste like crap. There's a good reason that only a few typical animals are usually on the menu, apart from them being easy to raise in captivity: they taste pretty good.
Even less typical stuff like goat, duck, quail, goose etc isn't that great a meal.

well i know i dont have a big seafood list becuase im an inlander, or at least up until recently. i love sea food though,specialy the stuff that lurks around the bottom.if it crawls in muck, i'll eat it.id love to try all types of things though.
i want to have just a big smorgusbord sometime of just like all the fucked up things you see that one guy eat on the food network. i forgot what the show's called, but this big bald guy goes around the world trying all different plates of food form different places.spiders, bats, monk fish, insects, everything. i want a buffet like that. man that'd rule!

We should have that guy come over here and post his list.

Has anyone else here eaten:

Gator
Conch
Langostino

Most of the other meats I've had have already been listed.

You can still list them anyways. Otherwise I'd just assume that you've eaten all of the animals previously listed. ^^

-beef
-chicken
-pork
-shrimp (rarely)
-squid/octopus (rarely)
-venison (only once, but it was delicious.)
-fish sticks (when I was a kid.)

I'm uh… kind of a picky eater.

It's really hard to eat fish because every time I try I always end up imagining it when it was alive and staring at me with its COLD SOULLESS UNBLINKING EYEBALLS.

No one is at all impressed by my crazy exploit :(

I've never eaten anything like chicken, apart from chicken. Not even other birds like duck, quail, turkey etc taste like chicken to me. Each have their own particular flavours…

No one is at all impressed by my crazy exploit :(

Is eating penis a matter of taste, sexuality, or both?

I personally felt Duck tasted a bit like chicken.

I said "Tastes like chicken" in a cool-guy-from-hollywood voice.

Eating penis was a manner of culinary curiousity AND NOTHING MORE!

Posted at 4:08PM, Aug. 19, 2009

I eat dragons for breakfast.

- Herring

shark (rubber!)

This is another one I don't get. There are a WHoooooooooole lotta different sharks out there, way, way way different from each other than different types of cow for example. Sharks are as different from each other as sheep from cow or goat in terms of meat. So what kind of shark was it?

Gummy shark for example is delicious! But overfished now… :(
Bronze whaler is ok… not that marvellous. …and all the various other kinds that are local here. I dunno, reef sharks, bull sharks etc.

I bet you'd love to chomp on some Greenland Shark. hehehe… ;)

Pretty much only standard stuff here (plus one or two).
Chicken
Cow
Pig
Lamb
Turkey
Escargot (snail)
Scallop
Fish (Cod & Haddock. Also tried Kipper and sushi but found them both horrible.)
and (I think) duck.

I care about animals and animals' rights, but I figure, if the animal's going to be slaughtered for meat then they might as well be eaten by someone that appreciates them. Plus, we were made to be omnivores, so I'm an omnivore. (Well… more of a carnivore… I don't like greens.)

- Spiders (at least according to science… Does it count if you're asleep?)

Haha, very clever. I've heard that too–it's not a nice thought, is it? lol!

Because of that, I decided to update my list, one more time.

Doubt that (see previously posted video).

In Central New Jersey you don't have a choice. We don't have reefs and clear blue ocean here to grow all varieties of shark so one is as good as another. It's in the fish section, get it and cook it. All I remember was that it was awful.

I had shark again in Hawai'i (again I didn't note the species but there was more variety in the Pacific) and it was much better.

I much prefer crab cakes and Mahi-mahi so you can keep the whole genus as far as I'm concerned. ;)

Everyone so far has just said "beef" why not insist they be specific about variety and cut? Brazilian cuts are better than American ones for example. English beef sucks.

As of today I'm an 80% vegetarian. Only 80% because when I tried going all the way, I experienced an unusual weakness on the 3rd day of no meat intake.

And so, I only consume small amounts of meat and then I'm all fine and healthy. Its probably genetic or something that I do need a small amount of meat to keep healthy.

But anyway before my "conversion", I did eat the following animals.

- cow
- chicken
- duck
- turkey
- sheep
- pig
- fish
- dog
- cat

Yeah I'm not kidding on the dog and cat part. In the Philippines, that's supposedly illegal to serve in a restaurant but if you and your friends go out and hunt a stray dog and have it for dinner its all fine. Also, the cops seldom enforce the law on serving dog and cat as part of the menu.

Dog kinda tastes like pork.

And cat is really hard to tell if its ground up and put in your siopao.

I've only eaten the normal animals…chicken, fish, cows, etc. And calamari once, I think I mistook it for onion rings or something. I wasn't very happy about that.

I realized the other day that I've never had a hamburger, which is kind of weird.

It's more likely that you weren't watching what you ate closely enough, and weren't getting enough iron or something like that. I've found that's something I have to be pretty careful about.
Congrats on at least trying, though. It's a good thing to do.

But Kyupol is a man, right? Men don't have to worry about iron deficiency but rather have to worry about too much iron buildup. The only way to loose iron is too bleed and since men don't have menstrual cycles they can only suffer iron deficiency if they're donating blood allot.

I'm guessing lack of protein? Is your diet lacking protein rich food? Stuff like beans and tofu?

Oooh yeah…well, I think it's pretty clear no one should take my diet advice, haha!

I stay away from that stuff. I remember reading that some of the stuff from China ad the Philippines is stuffed with toxic ground up cardboard. x_x

Dog.

It was still alive.

And I think it still is.
