| yes, I don't smoke, and I eat relatively healthily (not a health nut though). I already have my donor card that asks that my working organs (all of them as far as I know) be donated to those in need. Only the muscle tissue is up for grabs...and let me tell you: it is deeeeeeeeeeeeelicious. |

Reminds me of the conversation we had at school, I was maybe 10 or 11, the day after that first movie about the soccer team in the Andes aired on TV. "Did you see the movie last night?"
"Yeah, there was this plane and it crashed in the mountains. There was no food, so they ate the dead people"
"That's so gross!"
"Would you eat a dead person if you were hungry enough?"
"I'd starve instead of eating you."
"I wouldn't eat Nate 'cause I'm on a diet."
"Hey, if we're ever on a plane and I die when it crashes...you can all eat my butt."

| eaten kangaroo quite a bit - freely available as the op has pointed out in supermarkets and butchers. Strong flavour, my brother lived with a guy who ate kangaroo 3 times a week as it contains low cholesterol. Camel Kofta in Morocco was delcious - very smoky odd taste. Eaten raw beef sushi, but not raw horse ala Hiroshima. |

I have eaten cows, pigs, sheep, goat, kangaroo, emu, camel, buffalo, turtle, crocodile, rabbit, duck, chicken, pidgeon and dugong. All nice if cooked properly.
Camel isn't tough and stringy if well cooked and not from an old animal. Kangaroo and emu are some of the lowest cholesterol red meats available.
Kangaroo smells a bit when being cooked.
The turtle and dugong I ate when very young. When I lived near the tip of Queensland we had a few neighbors that were Australian Aboriginals, and they are allowed to hunt them.
Emu is very nice.
I try to stay away from top of the food chain fish like shark as they often have high levels of heavy metals and persistent carcinogenic carbon based chemicals like PCBs and DDT.
I do not eat prawns (shrimp) as the harvesting methods are so destructive to the ocean floor.
I wont eat endangered animals.

moose is delicious. i'd like to try caribou, and after watching "atanarjuat - the fast runner" i am really curious to see how it is raw.
i'm not interested in seaborne mammals.
i'd eat a bite of human meat.
as far as weird-ish stuff, i ate cobra once. it was perhaps the best meat i've ever tasted. |

I ate Reindeer and Moose in Norway. Found it salty, but it was meat, so it was good. Dark red meat, was nice with salad. Thinly sliced like sandwich ham, but not the same taste.
Kangaroo, enough said already about that one. Never cooked it as well as other meats.
Had Emu sausages. Not for me though.
Also not on the list,
Ran over a Racehorse Goanna in the Pilbra region of West Australia. Of couse we instantly started a fire and ate. It was very white meat and tasted like chicken. Very nice. If you accidently run one over and have an empty stomach. . . . . .
