We have all talked about foods we would not eat, but what if you could not get food from the market? What if you had to hunt your food?
What would I not eat? Rats. There is no way in hell I would eat one of those nasty beady eyes little critters. Snake. I am sorry but that is another nasty I would not eat.
Hunting food can be vegetables too. So that is the path I would take, food that grows wild.
What about you, what would you NOT eat?

Fried rattlesnake is good. I bet if you tried some and didn't know what it was you'd like it.

I really am not sure as if you get hungry enough anything could look like food.

Very true, there are exceptional cases and instances, even humans could turn cannibalistic

I will never eat rats too. I had tasted a large constrictor though a long time ago before it was banned, it's a delicacy here especially in the rural areas, tastes like chicken lol.
Other things I would not eat are birds of prey like eagles and hawks, those from the cat family big or small and lastly I think scavengers like vultures and hyenas

I won't mind eating rats if it's a field rat and not a city rat.

@andriaperry Venison does have a little more cholesterol than beef but it is still better for you than beef. It actually lowers your LDL cholesterol and raises your HDL.

I couldn't eat anything slimy. My husband tricked me into trying barbecued raccoon one time, it was horrible!

@Sukeena1961 Maybe it just wasn't cooked right.

Never say never, but rats are not on my list of edibles. I would eat snake if someone killed, cleaned and cooked it. Mice? No. Neither could I eat cockroaches or June bugs, but grasshoppers would be okay, if someone else would prepare them. This is just if I was very hungry and couldn't get anything else.
Eating only vegetables sounds good, but they would become scarce in a hurry if there was no other source of food.

If I had to live off the land I would become a vegetarian. I do not want to kill things to eat. Worms I would not eat, even though they are 98% protein. Not really wanting to crunch crickets, either. Forget the entire buggy world.

What do you think of offals like liver, kidney, and sausages that uses intestine as skin?
I eat them on a regular.

@andriaperry I knew there were others like me. It is good to know I am not alone. If my husband didn't eat meat we could save a lot of money.

@ramapo17 I once was a very strict veg head for years and years and this week I start back, I am giving up chicken again, My doctor insists I lose the last 20 pounds so I know this is the right thing to do.

I cannot eat slugs, rats and snake (same as you), frogs. Eww disgusting. I'd rather hunt for fish and fruits.

@andriaperry And also cockroaches. There are places that eat that I think. Even if a cockroach just hopping to me will cause me to go hysterical lol.
