Current Events > A review of weird meats

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was traveling in London recently, had the opportunity to visit an exotic meat vendor at Borough market. All meat was purchased fresh and raw, and cooked back at the flat I rented soon after.

Crocodile tail tastes exactly like monkfish. It has a lovely hint of gaminess to it. It flakes a bit when given a pan-fry, the way I'd want a good fish fillet to, and has a really nice level of fat that melts easily even just in a low heat pan. Required no seasoning to be delicious.

Ostrich tastes similar to grass-fed beef, but with an extra strong savory aroma. It's honestly a pretty killer deal, too. If I could find it here in the US reliably, I would eat it all the time. Despite the low fat content, the burgers were incredibly moist.

There's a reason Aussies don't eat Kangaroo. It's tender, but it has the funk aromas of some of the most extreme wild-fermented ales I've experienced in my life, and they completely permeate it. Wife and I shared a camberbert that was aged to the absolute maximum. This smelled stronger.

That's pretty neat, I'd totally try all of those if I had the chance

I used to go to an exotic meat BBQ in the summers but it's been close to 10 years since that happened. I really liked ostrich as well. Caribou and bison (which is becoming pretty easy to find anymore) are good too.

No, saying bison is getting easy to find. Like I can find it in grocery stores now and then.

Camel is pretty good!
