wow, somehow I had nothing to tick off here!
In Southeast Asia I ate sparrow and cobra, but I missed my chance at eating a grilled rat. (I was all up for it, but the day we found the rat-on-a-stick in a Lao market, I had some GI distress from handling the raw wild boar meat we fed to a tiger.)

I checked "Bison" in the sense that to me Bison=Buffalo. If I'm way off point on that feel free to discount my vote :)

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

I meant it that way

[vonpookie.livejournal.com]

Right-o, then. :)

I ate Moose once at this "fine" dinner party just to be polite. I didn't enjoy it.

Well, where I live, bison is regularly available at supermarkets and restaurants, and it's raised for slaughter. Plus, it's far healthier han beef, from what I hear. Plus it's yummy. Also where I live, many people hunt. Ergo the moose. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again, though. Too gamey, even for me.

Hmm, was offered Whale, dog, and monkey in Korea. Refused them all.

Had boar once.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

I didn't include boar as I didn't really feel that a quasi wild pig raised on a farm in Quebec was all that exotic. Mind, the same could also be said for bison.

Bugger, I hit submit early by accident. You can add moose and bison/buffalo to my list, too.

Apologies for buggering up your poll!

You can go back and fill it in again.

Ooooh....didn't know you could amend your poll answers later! Ta. *fills out poll correctly*

Neat, isn't it.

I needed a "Shamefully, none of the above" ticky box.

I don't think there is anything shameful about not having eaten kangaroo. In fact, if you ate a Bird's Eye or Wall's meat pie in the late 70s, you probably have.
