When I was younger, my family visited Florida for the first time and my dad and mom told me to try some of this "crab meat" because they knew I liked crab. I told them it tasted a bit funky but it was still good and they laughed and said "good, because it's alligator."
One thing I remember is being at a hunt club cookout (shoulda known) and I was eating some salami. It was really good, just a little different. I asked what it was and of course, it was deer salami. I stopped eating it.
It was really good and you stopped eating it? Why pray tell would you do that? You obviously are not vegan or you wouldn't have tried it in the first place.

I thought the same thing and was also puzzled at that. I have experienced this with quite a few people when they will love something , find out what it is and then spit it out looking grossed out which to me is really bizarre.
Either something tastes good or it doesn't. Unless you have a moral objection ( finding out you are eating an endangered specie or something of that ilk) then I don't understand how you go from "yum" to "yuk" ?!?!
As I sais before the mind is the thing to conquer, the stomach is far less fussy and far more resilient than we believe it to be.
More Deer Salami for me though, that's OK with me ! A friend of mine who eats beef, lamb, pork, chicken was horrified to find out that people in many places like Corsica or Italy eat donkey sausages. Because apparently Donkeys are "cute" !!! I find Lambs and Cows really cute too but it does not stop me from eating them... And Pigs are super intelligent, really clean, and very interesting creatures but boy do they make marvellous Jamon Iberico and Pancetta !! Ducks are adorable but a good Duck Magret is hard to beat...
Unless you are a vegetarian then I find it bizarre to have a hierarchy of who is cute enough not to be eaten and who is ugly and thus makes a perfect Sunday roast ?

Donkey Sausages LMAO, great just spit coffee all over a proposal.
Sorry I'm a man couldn't help myself.
Personally a nice medium rare Welsh Corgi is a tasty snack. JUST KIDDING , bit of Monty Python humor.
*cue* Yakety Sax-otherwise known as the Benny Hill theme song.
I do not like the taste of deer, and like I said, it was good, but different. I think the spices in it covered up the deer taste just enough..... I don't go by what animal is cute enough not to eat....
I have such a hard time with fresh fresh meat. My family, growing up, got everything from the grocery store. I moved to the country when I was 15 and my now ex husbands family did the fresh fresh. Slaughtered pigs, had chickens, all of that. I had the worse time. The sausage was out of this world until his mom would break an egg in the pan and twin fetus' come out and she scoops them out with the shell and keeps on cooking!
ugh.
Then when my son is 2 years old and she tries to force him to eat pigs feet. or when her ex husband makes him hold a dead squirrel in each hand for a picture, while my son is steadily freaking out.
Have you ever eaten or had to eat something that you didn’t know what it was?
Did it taste good, and if not did you continue to eat it and why?
yep, I ate seaweed when I was at a Japanesse friends home, it was awful and I did not swallow it..Well I ate a little then asked her what is was...yuk....I also had whatever it was called at my daughters wedding. It was a Jewish appitizer, I think it was beef testicles..Regardless, it really was good...but had I know what it was I probably would not have eaten any.
I'm on a see food diet. I see food and I eat it. That means it's quite possible that I will eat something relly nasty but it's worth it. I have found an amazing # of really great things that I love that way. When I was a kid I would not try anything and I really mean anything. I was convinced for instance, that I hated cheese so I would not even try a pizza. One day when I was 12 I was starving and home alone. There was this leftover pizza sitting there and I acted completely out of character and had a bite. That bite changed my life. I realized that I had been missing out on things that were far better than the very limited foods I would eat. So at that point I went on the see food diet and I have been on it for almost 50 years now.
