had all of those and would have to agree with your taste assessment. Adding to the list, elk has a very strong taste, not unpleasant, but it is definitely wild gamey meat. Rabbit is actually the only one I've found that tastes a lot like chicken, but there again, it depends on the way its prepared.

and whether it was wild or raised.....

oddly enough, though I live close to an elk farm, I have never had domestically raised elk meat, but i would imagine that it would affect the taste due to a set diet. Hmm, I might have to go buy some just so I can do a comparison lol.

actually i was thinking of the rabbit...it never occured to me that there would be domesticated elk....

ahhh that works, i've had both, but my taste buds might have been a bit off as I dont remember any big differences.

Elk farms are a fairly new thing out here I believe, but because I'm in the prairies, we dont see a lot of them that you can go hunting for, so I guess they came up with an alternate solution.

I wonder if any one else is understanding these posts....or cares....well, it is the insomnia thread, maybe it is putting people to sleep!

 

[Mist S]

Lol, who knows, but its better than trying to count sheep...or shoot them on that other site lmao.

 

[graceanne]

Squirrel tastes like chicken, too.

 

[Mist S]

Squirrel...thats one I havent had the opportunity to try yet lol

 

[arctic-stranger]

Squirrel...thats one I havent had the opportunity to try yet lol

I am told that is why North Carolina Brunswick stew is so spicey....to cover the taste of gamey squirrel....not they just use pork....

now snapping turtle...that tastes NOTHING like chicken....

 

[Aeroil]

you mean you've never had squirrel stew? lol, well me neither

 

[Mist S]

snapping turtle...yet another one that is beyond my expirience lol

But, ostrich does taste a lot like chicken, just a little stronger. (which would be the most exotic thing I have eaten lol)

isnt the ostrich head a little sandy?

 

[Aeroil]

I've been told bear meat is good but a little greasy, I kinda wanna try it lol.

Find out where it was shot...you do NOT want to eat a bear that has been eating fish! i can promise you that...unless you are a bigger masochist than i can imagine you being....

 

[Mist S]

Lol never had ostrich head, never given an ostrich head for that matter, so I dont know about sand content in that spot.

Bear meat, I know people who have said both-greasy/not greasy, I think mostly its in the way it's prepared, as most things are.

hehehe, well I'm not a masochist at all, although you've piqued my interest, why not eat a bear that has been eating fish?

Because it will be the nastiest tasting thing you will ever put into your mouth....and i can imagine some pretty nasty tasting things!

 

[snowy ciara]

Nastier than brussels sprouts? Eeeewwwwwwwww! I realize it's a bit early for an official insomnia report, but well, I'm already bouncing off the walls.

Well i actually happen to like brussel sprouts...but not fish-eating bear, if that tells you anything....

 

[Mist S]

Brussel sprouts are an aquired taste for me...I aquire the taste when pregnant, but that would be the only time lol

 

[graceanne]

I love brussel sprouts. They're one of my favorite foods. I also like liver. There are very few foods I don't like, but pears is at the top of the list. yuck.

Liver, but not pears?

Oh the humanity of if all!

How can someone not like pears?

 

[blue kat]

Brussels sprouts AND liver, but not pears? You're so weird, Grace. In a good way, but weird.

 

[SweetDommes]

How can someone not like pears?

For me, it's a texture thing - ever pear that I've ever tasted has been mushy, but grainy ... and that's just gross.

 

[Aeroil]

I don't like pears either, nasty things. Then again I'm not much of a fan of fruit in the first place.
