    “Exotic” meat’s meaning animals besides the “normal” ones, are generally not great. They are novel, but the quality of the meat is low since normally the quantity of that kind of meat is low. Also there is a reason the meat is “exotic” in the first place. If it were particularly good, it would be mass produced since you can grow meat in a lot of places and the costs don’t really vary that much.

    I’d say if you want “exotic” meat, as in high quality beef or whatever, go for it. If you want "exotic’ meat like elephant meat or something like that, it’s not worthwhile.

      You are leading to the fact that initially the choice for the mass food industry was the choice of duck or chicken, the choice of chicken… That’s how it happened.

        Duck isn’t really exotic though. At many super markets you can get duck meat just like you would chicken, and duck eggs. I’d say duck is also mass produced, just obviously not as much as chicken.

    I guess exotic is relative, someone in here saying kangaroo is eaten all around Australia and Alligator is reasonably common here. Someone has goat as exotic but it seems common most everywhere.

    I’m gonna go with the turtle soup my grandma got us at a restaurant when I was little (family very Louisiana on my dad’s side), I remember it being good. Don’t think I’d eat anything even remotely endangered now, they were not back then.

    Husband still raves about Indonesian fried frog legs, he lived there for years growing up.
