squirrel - yes
crocodile - yes
cat - no, probably tastes bad
dog - see above
monkey - no
seal - no, probably too fatty
ostrich - yes
octopus - already have
dormouse - no, not enough meat to justify killing such cuteness

cockroach - no
crickets - yes
scorpion - no
snake - no
veal - already have
duckling - already have
penguin - no
zebra - yes

What??No coon,possum,nutria rat,crawdads,armadillo,musk rat?

Animalia is a big kingdom. You'll be complaining that hairless ape isn't on the list, soon enough.

I ate Kangaroo only a few days ago, it's quite similar to beef but very very lean.

I'd eat anything that's either not endangered or if tame is reared ethically.
I'll have a plate full of domestic cats no problem, but don't go anywhere near me with a tiger steak!

^ I forgot to add 'roo

People eat tarantulas - would you eat that? I don't think I could.

no to all, but I'm picky I won't eat anything other than chicken, pork and beef.
But I'm not keen on beef I only eat it when I fancy a burger or stew which are rare occasions.
People think I'm crazy because I point blank refuse to eat lamb, can't stand the idea of it

I don't eat lamb because I don't like the taste of it on its own (uncurried). It's too expensive to justify putting it in a curry. Mutton I'll happily eat in a curry.

They eat scorpions in the Phillipines.Hairless ape was on the menu in Paupa New Guinea for awhile.I think Swift was in favor of dining on the young tender ones

I probably would say no to most of these.

I have eaten horse and could probably eat deer. Not too sure about the others...

Nutria is utterly amazing - as long as it's well cleaned prior to skinning. I've had some that wasn't and the stench permeated into the meat, lending it a horrific taste.

In regards to the OP's post: Every one of those save for kitties (too cute and I've heard they aren't always very appetizing), dogs (I've had coyote and was less than enthusiastic about the flavor), penguins (their little tuxedos are too cute). I've already consumed snake, duck, squirrel, venison, rabbit, octopus and crocodile/alligator (in the form of jerky - not entirely sure if it was a croc or a gator; I was about eight).

EDIT: I also ate mountain lion in the form of sausages and a baked meat dish. I tasted like a combination of beef, chicken and pork (pork chop, not ham). According to those I know who have eaten (kitty) cats, the meat has a bad taste and the texture is much like chicken when done in a Crock Pot or boiled.

Have already tried the following
rabbit, horse, deer, moose, ostrich, octopus, pheasant, goose, duck, woodpigeon, partridge, kangaroo, quail and springbok.

I don't like cats as pets, so I might probably eat them
Oh is there a reason for leaving beaver off your list?

If a human person donated themselves to be eaten after death, would you grant them their wish?

I'll just keep eating all the same things my family eats because there is enogh strife in my family already.

How about turducken? It's a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken. I personally won't eat anything with "turd" in the name.

Here's my answers to your questions, puddingmouse.

Q: Guinea pig?
A: I don't see why not.

Q: Rabbit?
A: I've already eaten rabbit on several occasions, and very good it was too!

Q: Horse?
A: I've probably eaten it over the years and not remembered it.

Q: Deer?
A: I wanted to have that for Christmas Day. Lidl had it on as a special. I was so looking forward to saying to people that I'd eaten Rudolph.

Q: Whale?
A: If it's good, I don't see why not.

Q: Squirrel?
A: I wouldn't be against it, not at all. It would annoy the animal rights fascists, which can only be a good thing.

Q: Crocodile?
A: As long as it doesn't bite me first, I don't see why not.

Q: Cat?
A: Hell no! And anyway, I'm not Swiss.

Q: Dog?
A: No way! Not now, not ever! Again, not Swiss, sorry.

Q: Monkey?
A: No to this as well.

Q: Seal?
A: Don't see why not. I'll take it clubbing first.

Q: Ostrich?
A: Already eaten it and very, very good it was too. Springbok - from South Africa - is even better still though.

Q: Octopus?
[i]A: NO!

Q: Dormouse?
A: Don't know what one is, sorry.

Q: Pangolin?
A: Not sure about that either.

Q: Cockroach?
[i]A: Don't be so disgusting. No.

Q: Crickets?
A: See answer for "Cockroach".

Q: Scorpion?
A: See answer for "Cockroach".

Q: Snake?
A: If the meat on it's good and it isn't poisonous, I might try it, although I would definitely baulk at it, I think.

Q: Veal?
A: I've probably had this already.

Q: Duckling?
A: Don't see why not.

Q: Penguin?
A: I like my biscuits.

Q: Zebra?
A: I haven't had it personally, but it's definitely something I would try with no real apprehensions at all. Apparently, a zebra, lettuce and tomato sandwich is lovely.

I hope this answers all your questions.

yes to most. i can't see people useing cuteness as a reason not to eat something? if you don't need to, i can see that but what on that list doesn't have it's own cuteness?
