I think that I once turned down crocodile in favour of shark, you know. That wasn't at the Australian pub around the corner from where I live though. Their claim to Australian-ness is that they serve Fosters and have (probably fake) signs stuck to the walls saying, "(lots of distance) to the next (thing you might want to go to)" I'm sure that there's a pub right next to where you live pretending to give an authentic Welsh experience...
well, we had Black Rhinoceros, California Condor, Panda and Blue-bellied Parrot... After we paid a handsome sum to the poachers, it was all down to smuggling the animals into the states. The chef we hired had a contact at Customs, and it turned out to be a peice of cake. It was all very expensive, but we also know a taxidermist from whom we recouped the costs by selling him the carcasses which he mounted in fearsome poses and then sold to old men to put in their dens. The Parrot was particularly fightening after he was through.
I think we should have an anamalia pic'n'mix full of new and exciting types of flesh. Well, new and exciting to us, at any rate. I know where one can buy rabbit, grouse and pigeons. And I'm sure that there are plenty of new fishy experiences to be had at the fish counter in the market. Actually, I want to start going to the farmers' market in Riverside, once I find out when it happens. I had an ostrich burger from the Brum farmers' market, once upon a time.
Surprised at you for not having tasted venison before now, though. I'd have thought it'd have been standard fare alongside the asparagus tips, artichoke, capons and roast sucking pig on your school dinner menu, posh boy.
My school was run by ascetic monks actually. We would have one meal of bread and water each day and then be flogged with birch branches after vespers. It made me the man I am today...
Oh yes, they do salami. I would have prefered some Swedish beer, but what can you do? Christmas was okay, and I'm just getting ready to write a letter to you about it all. How's everything been for you?
well done, exotic-animal eater. I seem to recall eating eel as a young child ... my memory is that it was like very oily/greasy fish. And I'm not really one for fish anyway.
I've eaten Kangaroo and Aligator. Aligator was the perfect cross between chicken and fish.
