    I have had snake, squirrel, aligator, deer, and a wide variety of road kill before. Our old neighbores were very into making gumbo with random items they shot themselves. We later discovered they were meth heads. It explained a lot!

    I love antidotes like this, thanks for sharing. :D
    Hehe! I think you mean "anecdotes" (stories)...though after eating meth-head-roadkill-gumbo, an antidote might be necessary too. :smiley: Sorry, not meaning to be the grammar police. ..just made me giggle. :smile:

    Ugg I do, how embarrassing.

    seitan. I havent seen it for sale anywhere locally.

    It's super easy to make, either with vital wheat gluten, or plain old flour.

    Yep. Vital wheat gluten is in the baking aisle of most stores. Just knead it up, season some water, and boil it for a while. I've made it from regular flour too, but the kitchen sink's plumbing votes would rather I not. Cost-wise, regular flour is more expensive because gluten (read: turn around flour bag and look for protein) makes up a small part of it.

    I have never eaten any kind of snake.

    Gator
    Snake
    Rabbit
    Horse
    Frog
    Snail / insects that aren't crickets and mealworms

    There's a lot of meats I want to try but can't due to lack of funds, availability, and law in the case of horse meat... :(

    I was just thinking I've never eaten Quinoa

    ... wouldn't even know how to prepare it

    you?

    Quinoa is noms. I've never had sushi, or quince. Or mincemeat pie. Or dragonfruit....

    I've eaten opossum, cardinal, blackbird, and raccoon though. :)

    I like dragonfruit and the ones I have had have a very mild flavor. I like to cut it in quarters, put it in a clear plastic container and take it to work to eat, because I like to eat it and it freaks people out with the way it looks. So that makes it double awesome.

    I'm allergic to shellfish, so lobster. (Also, I think they look like cockroaches so even if I didn't risk my throat closing up . . .)

    I've never had quinoa either. It's on my I'll-try-it-someday list.

    Yellow tomatoes. I started to buy some once but my mom called and when I told her about them, she said they were gross. But I have a tomato tart recipe around here somewhere that I'd like to make one day . . .



    Ok I have to say the yellow tomatoes being gross things I don't understand - to me the taste exactly like a regular red tomato. So if she doesn't like tomatoes in general, then that makes sense but if she eats red ones, I admit I am a bit confused.

    Quinoa is good but you have to be sure to rinse it well - luckily I had already tried it and liked it the time I didn't rinse well enough, so I knew it was my own fault. It is very soapy if you don't rinse it enough.

    My dad came home with venison sausages once. Thinking about the taste makes me wish I knew how to hunt.

    I haven't tried any of the game meats - venison, buffalo, etc., or goose - honestly just because I am not a huge fan of beef or dark meat chicken, and those just seem like they would be stronger flavored versions (although they may not be). And things like sushi, most organ meats (tried liver once voluntarily because my mom loved it and we were at a restaurant where she ordered it - hated it and was glad that my dad wouldn't even let it in the house since he was forced to eat it as a kid and hated even the smell of it) and honestly those I never want to try.

    There are a lot of fruits I haven't tried but really would like to - I actually have a list on my phone of them - finger limes (I love regular limes and so these fascinate me), lychee, mangosteen, persimmon, rambutan, tamarillo - I found a website that sells them (accidently while looking for something else) and they were super expensive but very interesting sounding, so I made a list in case I ever see them somewhere around here and can buy them for a lot less.

    Deer. Which is especially weird considering the area I live in. Just never had the opportunity. Not sure I would even if I did, as I struggle eating meat. Not a vegetarian (for mental health reasons - triggers disordered eating), but I do kind of have the mentality of one.

    Same. I've cooked them for my dog, and I just... I can't get past the smell. So I've never tried them myself.
