Here in Iowa it is mostly beef, pork, lamb, chicken, venison, rabbit, pheasant, turkey, quail, catfish (bleck ), crappie, walleye, bass and other misc fresh water fish, turtle, frog legs, beeffalo and buffalo........cannot think else I've had harvested locally aside from misc small animals like squirrel, possum, etc. The non local, almost ALL seafood. Everything from the typical lobster, shrimp, clams, yada yada........to the not typical at all like sea urchin or shark. And I adore calimari! Love it! And abalone also, if the person cooking knows what they are doing. If it comes out of the ocean I've either tried it, or would. If I go to gulf I will be eating crawdads, crab, shrimp, gator, wild boar, whatever else my friends drag kicking and squealing to the feast. Snake is fine, would try other reptiles but haven't had the opportunity. I've had plenty of meats I didn't care for, bear.....no thank you. Some I was.....so so about like the antelope in Wyoming, but the elk my brother had was good. Then again, I've had terrible venison and I love venison. A lot of wild game depends upon who shot it and how they handled it. One wrong cut can ruin the whole mess. So can running it before shooting it. Most rodenty stuff, I didn't hate but can live without. I've been to many game cookouts so if it is hunted in any way, shape or form, I've probably tried it. I think a lot of what I eat that people find weird comes from typical meat animals, just the cuts that are not typical. Testicles, tongue, tripe, chitlins, chicken feet and combs. Most people get weirded out but I am adventurous when it comes to food. The only line I draw is bugs. Just the thought of eating them weirds me out. Especially if they are still wiggling or identifiable.
