Canned snails? That's a new one on me! Who knew?
However, I can buy canned hearts of palm trees at my local WM.
But then I live in land locked Nebraska.
However, for the record, I've eaten fresh rattlesnake. Not that big a deal, lean and tough and not much flavor. However, you do need to chop it up in little one inch chunks to cook. If you try to cook the thing whole, it crawls out of the pan!
The only time I've ever heard my MIL utter the "F" bomb, along with a lot of other swear words, and a large knife and lots of chopping and slicing and dicing!
Snapping and leather back turtle is very similar to chicken. Light and dark meat.
Ground raccoon, not to bad, very lean, best done in chili with lots of onion and other spices.
While carp is not a preferred fish to eat, if you pressure can it, it is very similar to canned salmon. Who knew?
Antelope, best done pressure canned. Otherwise, it gets a bit "gamey" and overwhelming.
Deer! I'm an expert at that! Add just a bit of pork roast, deer is very lean, and grind it into great burger!
Rocky Mountain oysters! Yum!
I do find it interesting to see what others eat. I realize it's a given for the local culture and availability, but it does sometime amaze me!
