Grilled guinea pigs are this NYC restaurant's shocking specialty — and the head is the 'best part'. 🐖

I’ve eaten bear, gator, raccoon, groundhog, rabbit, venison, caribou, elk, squirrel, goose, duck, pheasant, dove, mostly shot by me; pheasant is best, venison worst.

I know some of you will disagree as to venison but I just don’t like it. When I kill one I have it made into burger, bologna and jerky.

Bear is surprisingly good, like a fatty chuck roast. Very tender and beefy. Gator is a cross between fish and chicken. Raccoon is succulent, very good meat. But I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn’t been told what it was. Off putting.
Had bear a few times and liked it, and I also like gator. Never had a chance for raccoon, squirrel or groundhog, but would probably try it. Had most of the other ones, and really like venison - the German way, where the meat is aged for a while, gives some nice taste and the meat is very tender. Boar is also good to eat, my uncle hunted, so I had it many times as a kid.

Raccoon is nasty. Let me tell ya.
 
Ok to start off, yucky. I am a very limited eater. Mostly if it's not found in most grocery stores on the Right Coast of USA i will never try it especially if it's not main animal food products like from cows, pigs or chicken. And a food allergy or possibly having others keeps my food eating to like maybe 15 things, lol.

But on the gueina pigs. I believe in Tennessee gueina pigs are an exotic animal at a zoo. A trip some family members went on to Tennessee the beginning of 2024.

And nearly all animals can be at a zoo, their natural enviroment but not on my plate. Even deer my people hunt to eat doesn't get to me. Yucky to that and all the people who like and eat such things... lol...
