I've tried eating a snake before. A python to be exact. Surprisingly, I liked it. Tastes like chicken, but it's too bony. I don't know about the others, but here in the Philippines, killing and eating dogs are illegal but some Filipinos like to eat dogs. I don't like the idea of killing a dog much more eating it. Aren't dogs supposed to be man's best friend? It's really sad. One day, we went to a resort that my dad's friend owns. One of the dishes served is Caldereta (Filipino dish, usually, beef or goat meat, with potatoes, carrots, sausage, olives, tomato sauce, cheese, and liver spread). I love the dish very much it is my favorite. I ate too much Caldereta that day. My dad told his friend that it was my favorite so he packed a few for us to take home. When we got home, I found out that it was not beef. It was dog meat!!! I almost threw up, but I can't since I already digested it. I said, "now that's why! I thought it was beef but the meat was more chewy". Darn it! I ate a dog! Ewww...

No no, I haven't ate snake or dogs or beef or pork!!!
I can't. But yes, I have ate fish, kinds of fish, goat meat, yes, chicken, but you know, even thought I ate meat but I felt that I don't like meat I mean goat meat. It is my mother-in-law favourite but I realy can't eat it. I don't know why? I have tried many a times but as I eat one piece after that I can't. So I stopped eating but yes, chicken has become my favourite these days and also delicious prawn. Prawn is the most delicious and exotic dish I have ate and liked it.
Thanks,

Exotic food...hmm..lemme think...i didn't eat the meat of the snake, but I did drink the blood of a snake. The snake was a cobra, this was way back in Thailand. We were walking in the market, and some guy asked us to try his delicacy...I was thinking sinful thoughts back then, when lo and behold, he produced a live cobra, held its head and went slashing at the cobra's belly draining its blood on a shot glass...Who do you think he handed the dang glass to? Yeah, me. And I drank it...

How was it? What's the taste like? I heard it's some kind of an aphrodisiac. I'm not really sure if it's the blood of the snake, can't remember. Lol. But they say, it has a lot of health benefits.

So does that mean it's true? About being an aphrodisiac? What does it taste like?

There really is a lot of guilt and sadness when you tried eating a dog. It just makes me feel sad. I know this may sound funny to others, but I pitied the dog I ate. Of course if I knew that it's a dog, I would've never ate it.

I have eaten kangaroo, reindeer and frogs. My ex-boyfriend liked to eat many different kinds of food and one night when I was coming over for dinner he had cooked a kangaroo dish for us. I don't really remember how it tasted, as far I remember it wasn't very different from other kinds of meat. He also cooked reindeer meat for me once and that was pretty delicious.
I ate frogs at an Thai restaurant in my country. I was with a friend, he had eaten frogs before and he told me that it tasted like chicken. I also think that the taste was similar to chicken.
There is a restaurant in my country where you can buy snake meat and crocodile meat. I know people who have eaten snake meat, but I don't thinnk that any of my friends have eaten crocodile meat and I wonder what it tastes like.

Yeah I've eaten exotic foods like frogs, snake, wild pig, and eel. They all tastes well and very delicious.
The frog is my favorite one, I always see to it that my uncle will caught a frog for me when I am in our province. I only eat frog from rice fields.

Oh dear, I really would hate to eat a dog!!! I ate frog's legs in France years ago, when I went there on a school exchange in the 1980s. It was quite greasy and tasted like chicken. I became a vegetarian in 1987, so no more meat for me since then.
