A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn't realize was rotting from the inside out

Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.

Elk is fantastic. Elk chops with a sweet demiglas is chefs kiss

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

Bison/buffalo burgers are delicious.

[-] call_me_xale@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 weeks ago

+1. It's like beef but leaner and more flavorful.

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

Quail is pretty good.

As a 10 year vegan, the meats I miss the most are gator tail and venison

[-] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

What's gator like? Chicken?

[-] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I had gator recently that was a plain fillet and not a fried nugget or something like that. I thought it was like a cross between chicken and a meaty fish. It tasted like chicken, but there was a slight sponginess and the way it pulled apart reminded me of fish

[-] TherapyGary 4 points 4 weeks ago

Sponginess is a great word for it! I wanted to describe it as kind of fluffy, but that felt not quite right

[-] TherapyGary 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's been so long that my description might not be reliable, but I remember it as a slightly fishy, gamey chicken, but much softer and juicier than other game meats

Gardein's "ultimate" plant based chick'n nuggets already taste kind of fishy IMO, and I've found that soaking them in dill pickle juice before cooking makes them taste a lot like I remember gator tail being like

Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.

Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.

Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They're good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.

Soy curls are a miracle.

I like duck if it's done properly, but eat kangaroo more often.

[-] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.

[-] HatchetHaro@pawb.social 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

That's not meat.

It's okay if you don't eat meat, and it's okay to just say that; I'm just more annoyed at the whole trend of "meat substitutes" when you can just... not eat meat.

Tofu is an awesome ingredient, used in an incredible variety of dishes. To reduce it to something it isn't trying to be is such a waste of a good ingredient.

Ostrich. Easily the best game meat. It’s incredible.

I'll eat one them mufuggas for my boy Steve

mine is bork. it is a secret third meat that is neither beef nor pork.

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago

Horse! It's actually probably just my favourite meat in general even including the others

[-] brap@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

I imagine horse is a lot like beef as Tesco got away with using horse meat in ready meals for who knows how long.

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Hah that one was funny :3

It definitely tastes distinctly different.. or at least from what I had, I assume tesco meals don't taste much of anything in general tho

Probably venison and/or wild boar (if you don’t count the latter as pork). My partner’s parents are hunters and they’ve given us some excellent boar steaks and self made game sausages before.

[-] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 6 points 4 weeks ago

Venison is great but the markup is insane. In Scotland deer are hunted to stop them from destroying entire forests and the meat is sold to restaurants at a loss just so that it's used for something. Then those restaurants inflate the price massively because it's "exotic"

Bro forgot coastal cities

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 4 weeks ago

Venison probably. Boar is also good.

On poultry, I'd go turkey over duck. Not keen on goose, too fatty.

Duck is amazing, either Chinese style (Peking Duck) or French style (Canard à l'orange)

You missed all the great seafood!

My top 3 instant guaranteed to get my mouth watering foods are:

Vietnamese clay pot catfish (braised & caramelized)

Boiling Crab shrimps (Cajun-Asian seafood chain)

Hunan steamed fish (with salted chilis)

Moose can be pretty good, but I think I would have to say Turkey
