It tastes a lot like chicken.
Bald eagle. Not in the US.
Mountain Lion cooked and jerked.
I kid you not..hippo. It was many years ago at a restaurant on La Cienega in L.A. and I can't remember the name of it. They featured all kinds of wild game. As I recall, Hippo tasted like swiss steak.
Moose
real turtle soup
When I worked in the northern part of Canada in a place called Nunavuit, I was a chef there and had the opprotunity to eat Narwal blubber (Sea Unicorn) a type of sea creature, almost like a whale, Musk Ox and a wild bird called ptarmigun.
When I Thailand I had a dish that consisted of a spicy dip made from anchovies, let rot for a year and the mix made into a dip for deep fried frog skins, in Vietnam I had some small BBQ songbirds and some something called water crickets, they were deep fried and season with a spicy salt and pepper mix.
When I worked in the US, I had the fortune to try rattlesnake and alligator.
