Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.
Deer meat.
~Sorry for delete prev. comment. Did a typo and reacted stupidly.~
Someone wrote beans so you're ok
Bison/buffalo burgers are delicious.
+1. It's like beef but leaner and more flavorful.
Elk is fantastic. Elk chops with a sweet demiglas is chefs kiss
Quail is pretty good.
As a 10 year vegan, the meats I miss the most are gator tail and venison
What's gator like? Chicken?
I had gator recently that was a plain fillet and not a fried nugget or something like that. I thought it was like a cross between chicken and a meaty fish. It tasted like chicken, but there was a slight sponginess and the way it pulled apart reminded me of fish
Sponginess is a great word for it! I wanted to describe it as kind of fluffy, but that felt not quite right
It's been so long that my description might not be reliable, but I remember it as a slightly fishy, gamey chicken, but much softer and juicier than other game meats
Gardein's "ultimate" plant based chick'n nuggets already taste kind of fishy IMO, and I've found that soaking them in dill pickle juice before cooking makes them taste a lot like I remember gator tail being like

Duck. 🦆
I like duck if it's done properly, but eat kangaroo more often.
Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.
Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.
Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.
Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They're good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.
Soy curls are a miracle.

Ostrich. Easily the best game meat. It’s incredible.
Horse! It's actually probably just my favourite meat in general even including the others
I imagine horse is a lot like beef as Tesco got away with using horse meat in ready meals for who knows how long.
Hah that one was funny :3
It definitely tastes distinctly different.. or at least from what I had, I assume tesco meals don't taste much of anything in general tho

I'll eat one them mufuggas for my boy Steve
Turkey
Probably venison and/or wild boar (if you don’t count the latter as pork). My partner’s parents are hunters and they’ve given us some excellent boar steaks and self made game sausages before.
Venison is great but the markup is insane. In Scotland deer are hunted to stop them from destroying entire forests and the meat is sold to restaurants at a loss just so that it's used for something. Then those restaurants inflate the price massively because it's "exotic"
It’s not as bad here in Germany but knowing hunters does pay off.
mine is bork. it is a secret third meat that is neither beef nor pork.
rabbit
beyond beef 😝
Duck is amazing, either Chinese style (Peking Duck) or French style (Canard à l'orange)

Crab. Always looked forward to the few days a month my family have crab.

Venison probably. Boar is also good.
On poultry, I'd go turkey over duck. Not keen on goose, too fatty.
I don't think I've ever had "good" turkey so I would put it at the bottom of my poultry, goose is definitely fatty but I consider it like the wagyu of poultry. Duck is in the middle but still more decadent than chicken. Squab is near the top as well.
You missed all the great seafood!
My top 3 instant guaranteed to get my mouth watering foods are:
Vietnamese clay pot catfish (braised & caramelized)
Boiling Crab shrimps (Cajun-Asian seafood chain)
Hunan steamed fish (with salted chilis)
