1. Panda is out of this world. Sloth is a little gluey.
You must be looking for trouble. :o

2. Actually, I find horse to be more gluey than sloth.
Must be a personal preference thing.

28. I think half the kids I grew up with thought it was Kangaroo until...
we got to HS. So apparently it's a common theory. I think rat is more likely though.

9. I've had ostrich.
It tastes a bit like liver and is similar in texture. Didn't much care for it.
I've had buffalo too. It's pretty good ground up for burgers.

36. Ostrich and buffalo are great in burgers
Both a lot leaner than beef, though not as tasty. To each his own though, I guess. I'll stick with cat.

22. There's a restaurant in Julian CA that serves both Bison and Ostritch.
Burgers or steaks. I had a Bison Burger and it was similar to beef with a slight sweet taste to it.

10. Are you old enough to remember the "meat shortage" of the late '60s?
They were using horse... I probably ate some.

That's when the truth in packaging label stuff started in earnest.

19. If you ever do decide to make kabobs out of them, save the fur
for me. I'm sure I could put it to good use. It'd be fun to try to line up all the tabby markings.

We have a tendency to go with the bizarre names, such as Other Kitty, Stains (Come... get it???), etc... I saw this thread and had to throw that in.

17. Depends on how you define "strange" I suppose.
I'm not desperate to try any of those listed.

I've eaten ostrich and kangaroo, which some would consider odd - but then I've eaten duck, rabbit, pheasant, pigeon, venison and some even think of those as "strange".

and Vienna sausages too. Actually, I've eaten gazelle (Thompson's) in South Africa and reindeer in Finland. The gazelle was ok, but the reindeer was pretty good - sort of like a slightly gamey roast beef.

That was a nice piece of ass I got while I was in Northern Italy.

29. They tried to feed me veal in Italy.
Apparently, in Naples, it's considered vegetarian because it's a baby cow or something. I don't know. When I explained that veal wasn't vegetarian, they brought out a plate consisting of the largest hunk of fresh mozzerella with sauce and basil that I've ever seen. I couldn't finish it, and they thought I didn't like it. Italy is a rough place to eat for a vegetarian with a small appetite.

31. I don't think they believe in such a thing as a small appetite.
All I could do was just make sure I walked for miles and miles every day. There was no escaping the eating.

It's so much easier for veg n00bs to prepare.

37. I've only had one thing that I liked with seitan.
Vegan shepherd's pie. It's not really good for you anyway. Most people have some sort of mild wheat intolerance so it's not that great to be eating pure wheat gluten.

I'm a big tempeh fan too.

41. I just made tempeh bacon yesterday.
I should probably eat tempeh more often than I do, but the discolored bits wierd me out a little.

I just had a seitan shepherd's pie for lunch (which reminds me, I'm supposed to be posting the recipe, so I should look to see where I put it.)

42. Yeah, tempeh freaked me out for a few years.
Now I love it. I don't even think about the discolored bits or the fact that it's fermented soybean cake. I heard it's healthier than tofu too.

I used to eat Tempeh "Fishsticks" all the time. It was sticks of tempeh breaded with some dulse/kelp/whatever added to the breading, dropped in a pan for a few seconds of frying time, then baked in the oven. Dip in nayonaise tartar sauce.

48. The only red meat I eat is bison
Living where I am, bison meat is widely available...and cheaper at the local butcher's than extra lean ground beef at the supermarket.

Ostrich is my pick.
