What meats are edible?

Question

other than cow, sheep, pig ,deer and birds what other meats are edible?

I've heard that rabbit takes more energy to digest the protiens than it provides, so if you ate only rabbit you'd eventually starve to death.

where would you get meats like snake and how do you prepare it?

has anyone eaten rat meat? is it nutricious?

Answer 1

Ostrich, buffalo, alligator, possum (ew) are a few others no one has mentioned.

Answer 2

Rat, dog, cat, octopus, squid, etc.

Answer 3

dude,

are you serious?

what meats ARENT edible?

depending on where you live, folks across the globe eat anything and EVERYTHING that moves (or in the case of vegetables, doesnt move).

It all goes down and comes out the same...

Answer 4

Proteins are proteins so rabbit meat should be just as digestible as any other meat.

I would believe all meat from any land animal (walking or crawling) is edible.  

Fishes are a little more iffy since it depends upon their diet especially fishes caught in the tropics.

Watching Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain, they eat pretty much anything on their TV show.  Iguana, bugs, worms, camel... etc.

For snakes, just gut and skin and you're good to go.

In the US, some states allow you to harvest road kill - animals killed by being hit by cars, typically deer.

Answer 5

Rabbit starvation happens because there is not enough fat in rabbits.  We needs a little fat.  Doesn't mean it's not good food; in fact it probably makes it better, as animal fat is generally unhealthful.  Just eat a little olive oil from time to time.

You opted to not mention goat.  Many types of seafood.  Don't know where to get snake but ethnic groceries may carry goat and who knows what else.

And of course it's wrong to eat humans.  But I think midgets is okay.

They'd eat you in a heartbeat if they thought they could take you down.

Answer 6

Goat.. its pretty good when its cooked in the right kind of dish.. but it has lots of bones..

Answer 7

There is nothing wrong with rabbit meat, I eat it often and you certainly wouldn't starve to death from eating it.

I would never eat rats but the AGFC says that Nutria taste great, they are trying to get hunters to harvest the invasive species.

If you want to eat snake you need to go get one. You can eat venomous snakes but I wouldn't recommend that you try to attain one. Cut off the head, slice down the belly, remove the guts and peel off the skin. Cook it and pluck the meat from the bones with a fork.

You can eat just about any meat.

I've harvested and eaten...

Squirrel, coons, several types of rabbit, various snakes, water foul, woodland foul, deer, feral hogs, elk, black bear, bull frogs, all types of fresh water fish... sure I am forgetting a few.

Answer 8

Kangaroo is eaten quite routinely in Australia, it is in all the butchers and supermarkets. Crocodile, water buffalo and emu are also available here but less common.

Other meats eaten in various parts of the world include horse, goat, guinea pig, dog, camel and many others.  The Chinese are particularly adventurous, they enjoy meat from just about anything that moves.

The early settlers in Australia used to have a joke about eating cockatoos - they said to prepare a cockatoo you boil it in a pot with a stone in it for a very long time. When the stone is soft remove the cockatoo and eat the stone. (Apparently cockatoo was pretty tough!)

Answer 9

anything that lives, we eat!
