I resent that. I eat more than 3 species of animals.
Chicken, Beef, Pork, Fish/Seafood.. What am I missing from my diet? Reptile?
Lamb, my dude.
Get some lamb shanks braised with rosemary, mint, and onions.
Come to think of it, is lamb a popular meat in the US? Here in Aus, its about on par with pork in popularity, after beef, then chicken.
Kangaroo is available in supermarkets, but its only about 5% as popular as beef.
Damn I forgot about lamb, goat, and their cloven hoofed friends like deer
Lamb is readily available in the US, but we (excluding farmers and active hunters) tend to eat it selectively like duck or veal as a delicacy or a meal for a special occasion. Normal everyday people don't eat lamb, veal, or duck when cheaper chicken, beef, fish, etc is available. Americans have an aversion to eating cute animals.
Wild game: throw in rabbit, deer (or elk), buffalo, etc. Alligator is also quite tasty. Sheep, goat (man, nothing beats curry goat, let me tell you).
Bear is delicious
Really? They have almost every hallmark of a bad-tasting meat. Highly muscular, non-herbivorous diet, etc.
I mean, I'd still try it.
I've eaten bear. It's gamey as hell. Tried it multiple times and prepared multiple ways. The cooking methods that make it the most palatable are the ones that take forever like slow roasting and smoking. It's a very tough meat so it takes a lot of tenderizing methods. Large predator meat is typically not great eating.
Before everyone jumps on me for being a hunter, I am a native Ojibwe. I don't want to dox myself by revealing much more than that.
