A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn't realize was rotting from the inside out

Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

What's gator like? Chicken?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Sponginess is a great word for it! I wanted to describe it as kind of fluffy, but that felt not quite right

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

I like duck if it's done properly, but eat kangaroo more often.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I imagine horse is a lot like beef as Tesco got away with using horse meat in ready meals for who knows how long.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Generic salty brown mush haha. But seriously I’ve never had it so am intrigued.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

It's a very lean smooth meat.. it's like.. not as gamey as something as beef, but still with that distinct red meat taste. It's rather interesting :3

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Then I shall keep my eyes open for it and surprise the family one day.

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.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

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"

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It’s not as bad here in Germany but knowing hunters does pay off.

Duck is amazing, either Chinese style (Peking Duck) or French style (Canard à l'orange)

Venison probably. Boar is also good.

On poultry, I'd go turkey over duck. Not keen on goose, too fatty.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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.

Oh god I thought it said meal. Fish is my answer to the actual question.

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)
