There's a few animals I was surprised to find out some find weird to eat: rabbit, horse, reindeer. I was especially surprised by rabbit. It's such a commonly hunted animal too.

In australia we eat our kangaroos and emus too. Also camels, sometimes.

And crocs! I went to a buffet at the old Centrepoint Tower revolving restaurant that had emu, kangaroo and crocodile all to eat. I love me some kanga mince, but the steaks are a bit too tough for me. You’ve gotta slow-cook croc too because it’s pretty tough, but it has a really nice chicken-mixed-with-irony/bloody taste.

Yeah croc gotta taste nasty. Most meat eating animals (like humans) avoid eating other meat eating animals if they can.

Really? Humans have been eating pig/boar, fish (including shark), crustaceans and cephalopods for a very long time. My understanding was that humans tended to eat more herbivores than carnivores or omnivores more because they’re prey that usually don’t fight back, making them easier to hunt or farm, whereas omnivores and carnivores are hunters themselves and therefore have offensive tools they can use defensively.

There was some speculation that humans are good at throwing rocks specifically for hunting rabbits before tool development. The sling made it even easier.

I don't know about eating a whole horse but horse meat is sometimes used in meetvursti and similar meat products and horse meat is sold as cold cuts here in Finland. I like it

I checked and the meetvursti I have in the fridge right now has horse meat in it. Apparently bred and slaughtered in Argentina.

Someone who's very hungry?

Also smoked horse is awesome.
