I love it!! It tastes good, so long as you don't eat too much, very high fat and lots of gas. I heard that there was someone who died because of Durian.
x = skip. Not worth it. x0 is a typo that I decided to keep because it looks like me puking.
! = do it before you die.
Deer, bear (!), moose, elk, groundhog/marmot, squirrel (!), rabbit, turkey vulture (x), a variety of wild mushrooms (x!), meal worms, crickets, grasshoppers, earthworms (x0, cicadas (!), sumac (!), rattlesnake, black locust flowers, ramps (!), alligator (!), ostrich, cattail (!), uncooked jack in the pulpit (xxx), chicken feet (!), pigs feet.
There's probably more but I can't think of them. I need me some escargot...
I guess I had deep-fried snake over in china before (+ snake wine). Drinking the snake wine was how I imagined drinking bottles of rubbing alcohol would taste like.
Oh, and I also ate something over there that had suckered tentacles on it.
1: a long narrative poem in elevated style recounting the deeds of a legendary or historical hero <the Iliad and the Odyssey are epics>

Epic / noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Long, narrative poem in an elevated style that celebrates heroic achievement and treats themes of historical, national, religious, or legendary significance. Primary (or traditional) epics are shaped from the legends and traditions of a heroic age and are part of oral tradition; secondary (or literary) epics are written down from the beginning, and their poets adapt aspects of traditional epics. The poems of Homer are usually regarded as the first important epics and the main source of epic conventions in western Europe. These conventions include the centrality of a hero, sometimes semidivine; an extensive, perhaps cosmic, setting; heroic battle; extended journeying; and the involvement of supernatural beings.
You know what? Food isn't epic. It's tasty, delicious, scrumptious, delightful and other things, but it's not epic. That's like my local grocery store advertising, 'EPIC SAVINGS!'. Yeah sure, saving $0.50 on a jar of honey is so fucking epic and definitely comparable to the story of the Odyssey. Think I'm being sarcastic? I'm not. Here, I'll show you. This is:
The Tale of Redbaron's Epic Journey to the Heart of the Spreads Aisle
"Upon realising there was no honey left in the cupboard, Redbaron cursed the gods roundly before leaving for an epic journey to the only destination he knew he could obtain a jar of honey: the grocery store.
Redbaron got in the car and began to drive. He had mixed feelings about running down the scumbag cyclist in the left lane, and decided against it because killing people wearing colourful spandex just isn't all that entertaining on an empty stomach.
Upon arriving at the car park, Redbaron was starting to understand how Winnie the Pooh felt that one time when some other fuckhead stole his honey and he had no honey. He entered the store, being sure to avoid all eye contact with store employees (especially free-samples lady) and made a bee-line for the nearest honey jar.
Once said jar was obtained, Redbaron proceeded to the self-checkout in order to avoid any sort of forced communication with the outside world. After checking out with the honey, Redbaron got into his car, drove home, hit the scumbag cyclist he'd seen earlier and entered his house, sat down at the table and ate all the fucking honey."
I have had Alligator. It's really good in stews. It tastes kind of like what really mild chicken would taste like if the chicken ate a lot of fish. It has a distinctive fishiness to it (in a good way) but the texture is more firm. It comes with a bit of fattiness to it as well.
I have had escargot but I feel like it was cheating. It was mostly just butter and garlic with some sort of chewy bit in the middle. It was tasty because butter and garlic are tasty but I didn't get much out of the snail other than texture.
I have had Moose. It is delicious. I love gamey meat and this stuff makes great stews. Moose jerky is also good. I place Venison in the same category. I've had that as well and I like it. I prefer Moose.
I've had Crickets. I love them. They are crunchy and just a little spicey in an interesting way. I like to eat them like other people eat potato chips. They are hard to find where I live though. I feel the same way about dried meal worms though they can be a little bitter.

Deep friend entire fish in Japan - a small one thankfully. After INFJ ate hers whole I screwed up my courage. Then a lightly steamed LARGE fish head, with eyeballs from a restaurant owner who never had Westerners in his shop before. Big honor, which is why the gift of the head that I had to peck at so as not to cause him to lose face.
Kangaroo, very lean tough meat, very gamey flavour, I liked it.
Crocodile burger, surprisingly fatty but I think it had been minced and fired and had other stuff added so it's hard to say what crocodile actually tastes like.
Dried squid, not good.
Swordfish, very good, the mercury is a concern though.
Chicken katsudon with raw egg on top, there's only one place I know of that does this and I think they've been shut down, a pity, I really liked their food.
Imagine if you ate the head of a turnip. Considering you're Turniphead, it would be like eating your own head, which is a story that might be actually justifiable as being worthy of being called epic.

Anyway, coffee drinkers must know Luwak Coffee. It's very expensive because it tastes the most excellent. What makes it excellent? It's actually the Luwak's shit (literally)!
So, Luwak ate coffee and then human take Luwak's shits to make coffee. http://catpoopcoffeeinc.com/
How cool is that?
Drink a cup of very expensive animal shits!!
The horse meat is pretty hard too, but it was soft for me, kinda similar to beef. The difference is my body felt so warm to hot, just like drink high percentage of alcohol. I wasn't able to sleep at night after ate horse meat. It is believed that horse meat is good for men sexuality.
Why did they prepare this elaborate description of maotai? Around 60% difference in taste drops to a varying aftertaste from what I have experienced.
The accolades and awards continued flooding in as since the Chinese Revolution, Maotai has garnered 20 domestic awards and 14 international awards, making it one of the most highly-acclaimed spirits in existence.
Perhaps what I think of as "epic" in the way of food is off. I didn't even think to include things like Pig's Feet and Tripe.
I like the texture of tripe. It is fairly flavorless so you eat it mostly for the texture. Honeycomb Tripe is especially wonderful. It's a little crunchy.
Pig's feet are fantastic! You cook them slow and they come out buttery and soft and are awesome.
I find I don't have a lot of patience for people who aren't adventurous with food. You don't have to eat the tripe but for the love of all things wonderful eat the fucking pho! It's a beef broth made from cow's bones. You add things to it to flavor and usually there are some thin sliced meats and some noodles in the bowl. I add a little sweet basil and some garlic chili sauce. It's so delicious!
I so badly want to try this. I've heard a lot of stories about it and none of them good. I guess you can't expect a lot from an alcohol distilled from Sorghum. Most people can't stand sorghum itself much less anything distilled from it.
+1 on the durian. I want to try chocolate sapote and a bunch of other weird fruits that are hard to get.
Other than that nothing too crazy. Blood cake. Elk burgers. Rattlesnake. Frog legs.
Had a dream the other night that I accidentally ate a sloth burger and in it I was so distraught I vowed never to eat meat again.
Because what I would characterize as epic would be ketchup.
You can go 2 months without junk food and milk chocolate and be like ewww when you eat it again.
But ketchup never disappoints
When people refuse to eat a certain animal compared to another, it often reflects the mental blindfold people have regarding eating animals. The same goes for refusing to eat parts of an animal that are not hazardous or indigestible, but "yuck".

Thank you, yes. I eat meat. And I'll avoid the moral implications of that decision for now. However, I think that if a person eats meat they shouldn't be touchy about the snout and trotters.
I love beef tongue. I have a great recipe for it. Most people who are willing to try it love it. It has a very deep beefy flavor and when cooked properly it has a nice texture when sliced thin. It's like the best roast beef you've ever had. When some people find out my recipe has tongue in it they get squeamish.
That's cool. I'll just be over here loving me some beef tongue.
Hmm. The edgies foods I've had were chicken brains, hearts, kidneys and gizzards. It was not unusual to have a whole pig on the kitchen counter. My mother will eat a roasted pig head, tails, feet. She also makes a soup with chicken feet. Yes, she might be a witch.

I'm cool with those chicken stuffs, I think it's all delicious: brains, hearts, kidneys, gizzards, intestine, skin, feet, what ever. My favorite is chicken heart!
The piggy thing is kinda terrifying, especially the head!! I've never tasted that!
