Summer BBQs are on the way; besides pig, chicken, cow, goat, or sheep do you have any proteins you like or a bucket list you want to try?
Yummy ones so far: Emu, Roo, Croc, Alpaca, Cuy, Python.
Bucket list: Lama, Caribou, Minkie, Gator, Yak.

"You missed beef..
Tends to be the less usual cuts that are most appealing to me, rather than the rarer creatures. But I would be partial to trying guinea pig."
Cow = Beef
Cuy = Guinea Pig |

"Blinded by hunger; missed cow.
What was guinea pig like? And just split and griddled?"
Taste is similar to roasted duck but more sweet and fatty. Texture depends on how it's cooked. Proper BBQ (not grilled) being lower heat fully enclosed and cooked slow was similar to veal. Grilled was more like rabbit. The skin almost comes up like a cross between chicken and crackling. |

Sounds delicious. Crackling and chicken skin are two favourites. (If roasting a chicken I always do it spatchcocked, to increase the crispy skin. And should skinless thighs / breasts be needed for anything, I'll skin them and cook the skins to crisp, then use the rendered fat to add flavour).
Somehow not surprising that guinea pig tastes good - they've been raising them for food for long enough. Never seen them for sale in the Uk, sadly.
Ostrich is good, and I've eaten many species of antelope, but I'd be happy replacing them with venison. Similarly for obscure ducks / wildfowl; for me, they've added novelty value only. Woodcock, snipe, grouse, partridge are good eating though.
Wouldn't eat them, but old books are persuasive on turtle (not farmed little ones) and dolphin being delicious. |

I am an omnivore so I don't say no to chargrilled tofu...Lol!
Someone gave me some seitan and I wasn't immediately revolted. So apparently you can grill that too...
I don't like fake protein that you make in a factory. Tofu and Seitan can be made at home.
Gluten-free can be edamame which apparently can be grilled as well.
I can live with one meat-free day a week and I come from a tropical island where we grill/BBQ everything from the sea...shark, dolphinfish ( not Flipper. Mahi Mahi), mussels, scallops, shrimp crab.
I'd like some BBQ mussels never had that before.
I can't remember the last BBQ that I went to ...maybe summer last year. lol! |
