I'm helping host a party in a few weeks where we get a whole bunch of exotic meat, a keg, and sit around and consume copious amounts of both. Any suggestions for what would be reasonable for meat selection? We've got a bunch of stuff lined up already, but could always use more ideas.
Exotic meats
- Thread starter HAB
- Start date
the hard part with meats is you never know how it was prepped before cutting thus not knowing the quality and taste.
ground bison makes for pretty good burgers
elk steaks (from any ranch) are really lean and tender
bear hams from the northwest are really good
not too sure what you are looking for but those are a few suggestions

ostrich legs or breasts or a one egg omelet for 10
Emu or ostrich = crap.
If someone says it tastes like chicken, please serve chicken.

you can't get much more rare than that.

I hear its pretty good served with chianti
hangar steak. 
just had that for dinner, I cooked it at 400 on the grille until was it medium rare-ish in the middle and charred it on the outside. I wish it never ended.

Here's what we're planning on so far:
-Buffalo patties
-Ostrich patties
-Duck breasts
-Tuna steaks
-Swordfish steaks
-Whole cornish game hens
-Whole rabbits
-Assorted cuts of beef
-Couple other things I'm forgetting but have written down elsewhere
-Veggie burgers for the vegimatarieans

In case you missed first round...ostrich sucks.
Yeah, but Eric recommended it, so I figured that cancels out.
I should add that we don't have to pay for any of this (though our budget is defiantly not unlimited) so I'm not that worried about everything being perfect.
hangar steak.
Hanger steak is hardly "exotic" meat...
If you really want to get weird, try raw fish eyes.
I've done it once at a sushi place and will not eat another one. They pop in your mouth and words fail to describe the taste or the texture of the eye fluid.

If it's over cooked it's just like pot-roast, chewy and beef like.
Let me also note that preparing ostrich is mostly what makes it suck. It smells a lot like ass flesh from a wildebeest that has been marinating in battery acid for 3 days. I guess I don't dislike the taste nearly as much as the smell.
Someone was offering "trotters" on work's listserv today. Want those?
Your list needs more organ meats. Maybe some pig ears too.

Joker FTMFW.I am a huge fan of Jamon Serrano off the leg:
"Fresh" prosciutto ain't too bad either.
That was so descriptive it almost seems like a past experience.
is that where "brushoot" comes from?Joker FTMFW.

I've been pushing for more organ meat, but the other couple guys organizing this with me have been resistant.
Pigs ears is a good call.
I stopped eating pork when I found out about the pork parasite.
Creepy
Around here, we call that 'ham'.^^^
Get yerself some lamb testes. I'm not saying they're nice. Drunken fun...

although it may offend some (and i was sceptical myself) i have to admit that horse steaks are delicious!
What?! I can't believe you have never heard of the pork parasite. Maybe you have it...
Calf hearts.
Trichinosis. Don't eat raw pork and you won't get it.
You could serve gator tail. Tenderize, salt pepper flour, then fry.
Sounds like a recipe for an All Male Bukakke.
Remember what I said about not ordering a steak when you want your seat raised.
Alligator is REALLY good.
Raw octopus is excellent as well.
Other things I've eaten that were not offensive:
-Squirrel
-Duck skin (when I was in China)
-Goat brain (again, China)
-chitlins
-scrapple (east coast thing, specifically Philly)
-crawdads
-turtle
That's all I got off the top of my head.
Nice list, but you knows are just baby chickens right?
Ostrich is good if done right, Emu too. I used to date a chick in high school who lived on an emu farm. those things aren't right & should have been extinct with the rest of the dinosaurs.
You should add foie gras, veal of some sort ( i have been reading about swedish veal brats those sound
x100) & something you killed yourself.
On thing you should DEFINITELY have is a leg of lamb
Yes & at least two days two prepare it.On thing you should DEFINITELY have is a leg of lamb
Road Kill
Go to Area 51 and get some alien meat
Kill a bum.
