Assume we're talking the usual UK meat sources, Cow, Pig, Lamb, Chicken.
We'll start mild with the more unusual bit's these days.
Cow foot, Pigs trotter, Ox tail
A little more indepth with offal, Kidney, Liver, Tongue, Hearts.
How about brains or eyes?
OK unusual meat sources, Crocodile, Aligator, Ostrich, Kangaroo, Snake, Cat, Dog or even Rat?
Why not fried Spider, Locust, Cockroach.
Where's your cut off point?

dogs and cats ? again, a big no no, besides probably being illegal here in the UK, i just couldn't bring myself to try that.
Kidney, Liver, oxtail, yes definitley, Tongue maybe !
brains or eyes, absolutley not, the thought of all the juices bursting out as u take a bite makes me wanna heave :eek:
so i'd guess that rules out buffalo's testicles as well.
or dogs
anything with a face
god im becoming vegan by default
I have eaten alligator, boar, kangaroo, ostrich, various things like that.
How about if I farmed them, captive, fed on grain or something not allowed to trawl about in $hit and the like?
Supplementary question would/do you eat shrimp, prawn, whelks or muscles?
Hmm someone curious about a bit of long pig...
Of course, what I'd turn down would ultimately be dictated by how hungry I was. If I was just at the "Soon be time for lunch/dinner" stage, no problem, but if I was fast approaching the "If you stand still long enough, I'll eat you even if I have to do so raw" stage of starvation, anything would be eaten if there was a chance it would keep me alive.
Still no, sorry they just give me the creeps scuttling around as they will insist on doing.
I can't eat fish so no on the shrimp, prawn etc.
Would draw the line at eyeballs though as I can imagine the texture and I wouldn't like it!
are we talking about greggs again ?
Isn't it the French who net little Starlings or similar, cook them and eat them bones and all?
Couldn't be ar$ed with that sort of thing myself, bones and not enough meat to make it worth the aggro, plucking and gutting, you can pop them into you mouth whole.
Same reason why I couldn't be bothered with pigeon.
Fine with any meat from a cow, pig, or sheep. I like lambs liver, but I wouldn't eat any other offal - except kidney in a steak and kidney pie!
I wouldn't eat shellfish, but I do eat crab, prawns and lobster.
I'm not keen on most of the seafood things either.
It's just what I'm used to, I couldn't eat rabbit, duck or any other animal unless I was starving and had to. It makes no sense really as really there is no difference between a kangaroo and a cow but in my head ugh couldn't do it. It's conditioning, from a young age you're told it's ok to eat certain animals and it's hard to shake off.
I'd probably prefer to be vegetarian and I did try it once but it didn't make me very well.
*grabs coat*
Ortolans, drowned in Armagnac, then flambéed and eaten whole. Illegal in France, since they're an endangered species. Mitterand threw a feast with them on the menu just before he died. Convention dictates that you have to cover your face while eating it, to disguise 'the horror' of eating this tiny charred bird, or to 'preserve the aromas' or indeed, it has been said, to 'hide from god.'
I was on about quails in the curry house, they're bigger.
Dunno, they're crafty buggers.
They'll survive armageddon doncha know.
