Little Creatures I Have Digested
I was just sitting here and feeling really damned hungry...imagining what I should do for dinner when I decided I have eated a whole lot of animals. Don't get me wrong, I love my veggies but charred animal flesh is just so damned tasty. What's on "The List" of creatures I've eaten? Well...
The Big Three:
Beef, Chicken, Pork.
Variations on those themes:
Veal, Highland Cow, Boar, Capon
Still Average:
Turkey, Cornish Hen
Seafood:
Tuna, Flounder, Haddock, Cod, Red Snapper, Dolphin Fish, Swordfish, Shark, Lobster (Atlantic, Pacific, and African), Blue Claw, King Crab, Dungeness Crab, Stone Crab, Sardine, Herring, Caviar (Sturgeon, Salmon, and Flying Fish), Freshwater Eel, Sea Urchin, Pollock, Tilapia, Catfish, Salmon, Trout, Bass, Patagonian Toothfish, Potato Bass, Whitefish, Bivalves (Oyster, Mussel, Scallop, Littleneck, Cherrystone), Octopus, Conch, Squid, Snapper Turtle
Off the beaten path:
Venison, Bison, Lamb, Rabbit, Duck, Goose, Quail, Pheasant
Unusual Fare:
Ostrich, Aligator, Lion, Antelope, Grouse, Rattlesnake
I'll admit I didn't enjoy all of those, but at least I tried some of them once. Anyone have any thoughts or something they have tried that's not on the list?
