I'd have to agree with Marjorie on this one. Venison's the only one. I'd like to know what crocodile is like and ostrich, Cathy. Also, what's impala? Never heard of that except for the car! I wanted to try pigeon when I was in England. Not too exotic I guess, but not common here. Unfortunately, they were out of it so I didn't get the chance.

I'll let this question ride and see if anyone else tried something exotic.

What, nobody's eaten any grilled voles or deep fried beetles?  With all the snails and slugs over there, I'm wondering if eating them isn't considererd exotic.  lol

Marjorie, rattlesnake has very little meat, only along the tenderloin and tastes like kind of a gamey beef.  Mountain lion is comparable to very lean pork (if there is such a thing).  Neither taste like chicken, although I've also eaten squirrel and that tastes like chicken.  I keep telling my cat Russ to watch out - he's the other white meat.  :-)

Brenda - I'm not sure I can remember what it tasted like particularly not unpleasant nor too unusual to be memorable.  I am pretty sure they were selling ostrich meat in England - also pleasant, low fat and virtually no bones - something like fillet.  Impala is one of the many buck (deer) here, so it is more like venison and quite strongly flavoured.

Question remains:

I've eaten Rattlesnake, its very mild tasting and tender. I've also eaten Bison, which is available in the grocery store here. 

Is there a food that makes you feel physically sick to eat?  

I can't eat corn (on or off the cob) and the smell of Brussels sprout makes me sick to my stomach.

I cannot even bear to touch cheese or butter, nor smell it and no way can I eat it. Same goes for Marmite and Macaroni (which has probably got something to do with the fact that it's always served with cheese!)

Sue I think Brussel sprouts and all cabbage type vegetables smell unpleasant while cooking!

I play piano and pipe organ. I took lessons from the time I was about 5 till high school graduation. I used to play guitar, but unfortunately have forgotten how. My son plays guitar very well, though.

What was the first movie in a cinema that you remember seeing?

Mary Poppins. Or was it The Sound of Music? Whichever one came first. I was just a little thing.

What is a movie you've watched, and absolutely hated? (mine was definitely Amadeus)
