Guinea pig
Yeah, I would eat that.
rabbit
Already have, it's really good.
horse
Yes, I would, but don't like red meat a lot.
deer
Already have, not a big fan though.
whale
I don't like red meat, but I wouldn't object to trying.
squirrel
Yes, I would
crocodile
Yes, it's supposed to be very good.
cat
It's supposed to taste like rabbit, so yes.
dog
If it's safe from harmful micro-organisms.
monkey
High chance of priones, probably wouldn't.
seal
Yes, it seems very good.
ostrich
I don't like red meat, but I wouldn't object.
octopus
Had that, very good!
dormouse
Probably would eat, but don't feel very much of a need to.
pangolin
Is that even edible? If so, the same as the domouse.
cockroach
If safe, certainly, insects are the new meat!
crickets
Already tried I think, it wasn't very interesting, though.
scorpion
If safe, yes.
snake
Would like to try.
veal
What's special about that? It's just beef, only,,, younger. Have had that countless times.
duckling
Just like chicken, why not?
penguin
Is it edible? If so, again, I would if offered, but feel no need to.
zebra
Sure, it's red meat, though, as I said, not a big fan.
My main issue would be food safety, other than that I'd eat everything, dead animal is dead animal. I actually don't like most meat at all, I like fish a lot, though (I'd say fish is technically meat). But I would eat it if someone offered. I did eat a living meal worm once... it wasn't very good. I made the girl in the pet shop (was buying some for my rats) freak out a little, I think, though.
Guinea pig- Would like to try for sure. I hear they are super popular in various spots outside the US.
rabbit- Absolutely, why not?
horse- The horse would have to be completely clean of any growth hormones/anabolic steroids. Many athletes who regularly ate horse would piss hot not even knowing they are consuming small amounts of illegal substance found in the meat of horse. *Some even knew hehe... Anyways I hear it's a lot like beef.
deer- Indeed I would try it. I hope to hunt one some day.
whale- No Whales are one of the smartest animals and there is no humane way to keep and/or hunt whales.
squirrel- The cat likes them. I probably would too.
crocodile- Sure. but only wild crocodile. Hunted in the manliest of ways, Steve Irwin style.
cat- I'm allergic, so no.
dog-Also allergic.
monkey-Nope. Monkeys are also really smart and a lot like us. Plus my mind has been traumatized by horrendous monkey killing videos:(
seal-The fat I could get from a seal... Where's my club?!
ostrich- Just another bird, so sure.
octopus-It's on my to do list
dormouse- Too small, maybe though. Can't imagine you get much meat from them. The perfect scenario would be having a lot of full grown adults, and making dormouse nuggets out of them, or dormouse wings. Otherwise, why even cook a small amount of them. Might as well keep them around just in case though.
pangolin- I'm not sure how that's even edible.
cockroach- I would eat cooked cockroaches, bugs are very nutritious, and some are extremely tasty. Cockroaches have different flavors depending on the species and how they were raised.
crickets- Ah tasty
scorpion- Yup
snake- My pleasure
veal- Give it to me...
duckling- Not a big fan of duck but I would eat it. If I were to be given the choice, I would make broth out of duck because its yummy!
penguin- Sure but only form the wild
zebra- I bet it tastes like horse.

No to dogs, cats, and monkeys, for emotional reasons.
Penguins, after watching that documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman- are kinda hard too.
Pangolins are considered sacred by the Pygmies, and look so odd.
Prolly not them either.
Already have eaten rabbits, deer, veal, and octopus. Each are yummy!
Calamari is great too.
Doent remember ever having eaten horse, but Im open to it.
For saving the whales, but would like to taste a whale steak just once despite that. I dunno-large whales just seem like theyd be appitizing. Could not eat flipper though.
The rest- Id be open to.

I've had deer and octopus in the past.
My rational self believes insects are healthy, but I don't know if I could stomach them.
I'm not a big fan of meat, so not particularly curious to try out those animals (unless I was starving). These days I just eat turkey or chicken every now and then.
Guinea pig Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
rabbit Yum
horse Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
deer Love it
whale Only if I was out in Alaska, in the middle of winter freezing my ass off, and there is nothing else to eat.
squirrel Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
crocodile Fried Louisiana style!
cat Hellllll no
dog See cat
monkey Filthy animal
seal Only if I was out in Alaska, in the middle of winter freezing my ass off, and there is nothing else to eat.
ostrich Like a combination chicken and beef. Awesome!
octopus It's OK
dormouse Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
pangolin Is that anything like a pokemon? If it is, hell yeah I'd eat it.
cockroach Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
crickets Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
scorpion Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.
snake If it's marinated properly it's not bad.
veal Don't care for it.
duckling If you mean those nasty ass fermented duck embryos the eat in China helllllllll noooo
penguin Chicken of the sea
zebra Would try if presented at a restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it.

Guinea pig - NO.
rabbit - YES, i didn't like it, as it tasted gamey/mealy to me.
horse- no, i grew up around horses and there was this nice roan who was always happy to see me, would run up to me and stick her head underneath my arm expecting a nose-scratching. so since then, i can't consider eating horse. btw, here is a little horsemeat ditty-
a horse is horsemeat, in a burger of course
and no one can talk about eating a horse
that is, of course, unless the horse is the delicious viande de cheval
go right to the source and ask the horse
he won't give you answers that you'll endorse
cause he's on a steady dinner course
Talk to viande de cheval
People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
but mr. ed will be eaten no matter what he has to say
a horse is horsemeat, on a plate of course
and this one would talk but he's a dead horse
you never heard of a dinner of horse?
Well listen to this-
I WAS Mister Ed.
anyways...
deer- yea, it was gamey, didn't care for it unless it was ground up with a bunch of fennel and salt/pepper, as sausage. then it was ok. yea, i ate bamby
whale-nope.
squirrel-nope.
crocodile-nope.
cat-nope. am told they taste just like rabbit. bleh.
dog-nope.
monkey-nope.

octopus-yep- blech. like eating salty mealy rubber.
dormouse-nope.
pangolin-nope. don't even know what one is.
cockroach-NOPE!
crickets-NO!
scorpion-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! !
snake-no. told they taste like chicken, but i'm not willing to check that out for myself.
veal-yep- tasted great [smooth and rich and tender] yet i felt guilty after i found how they were made to taste like they do, so i stopped eating veal.
duckling-yeah, tasted like greasy chicken. never again.
penguin-no.
zebra- can't taste too different from a horse, but no.
Guinea pig - I would. In South America this is considered a treat and is served at wedding receptions.
Rabbit - I have.
Horse - I would
Deer - I have
Whale - I would. Staple of eskimos everywhere.
Squirrel - I would. Staple of rednecks everywhere.
Crocodile - I have.
Cat - I would. Asians do it every day.
Dog - I would. Asians do it every day.
Monkey - I would.
Seal - I would.
Ostrich - I have. O burgers taste just like chicken.
Octopus - Yummy! But not live like they do in Asia.
Dormouse - I would.
Pangolin - I don't even know what this is.
Cockroach - Oh hell no!
Crickets - I don't know.
Scorpion - I don't know.
Snake - I have, I think. If not, I would.
Veal - I have.
Duckling - Yummy!
Penguin - I would. Probably tastes like chicken.
Zebra - I would.
Kangaroo - I would. One Vietnamese restaurant in town serves it, too.
Rat - I would.
Dolphin - I would.
Otter - I would.
Barnacles - I would. They probably taste like snail. Spanish Goose Barnacles are a treat in Europe.
Pig - All parts except the squeal.
Chicken feet - Delicious. Same as duck feet. A little sticky if overcooked, though.
Geoduck - I would. Hard to find, though. Restaurants that serve it are high class so it's expensive.
Crawfish - I have.
Worms - I don't know. Maybe.
Frog legs - Delicious. I have yet to cook these as well as they do in Chinese restaurants.
Maggots - Oh hell no! I would vomit on the spot.
Blood pudding - Basically, it's a sausage. The skin is an intestine and the filling is blood cooked with minced onions, peppers and sometimes rice.
I've also eaten goat, iguana, squid, buffalo, snails (escargot and boiled) and sea cucumber.
I bought a package of grubs once but couldn't bring myself to eat them.
