Title: What's the most unusual protein you've consumed?
Post by: ribonucleic on April 22, 2007, 01:40:37 PM
I had fried dolphin in a Florida restaurant as a young kid back in the mid-70s - back before they were considered too cute to kill.

Tasted like fish.

I remember being in Key West a few years back, and seeing Dolphin all over the menus. My band members were wondering "I thought they were illegal to kill? What gives?" ::) Eventually all of us felt stoopid when we found out there was another fish called a dolphin that had nothing to do with "Flipper" the illegal kind of Dolphin.

For me, it's not too unusual, but I've had duck- too greasy. I remember having possum, quail and I think I even had armadillo once at a Texas BBQ.....

I guess I didn't put that well.  ???

My point was that dolphin (a mammal, don't forget) "tastes just like fish" the way that frog "tastes just like chicken".

As a 7 year old, I was surprised.

Though maybe it wasn't Flipper and really was a fish - like that other guy said.

Man, this thread is going down in flames.  :(

In Florida and the Caribbean, 'dolphin fish' is often on restaurant menus.  In the Pacific it's call Mahimahi.  It's also called dorado.

In light of this new information, I am changing my answer to home-cured buffalo jerky.  :'(

Funny you ask. I am just now eating/sampling roasted fava beans, which I picked up yesterday on a whim, intrigued by what seemed like an extraordinarily high protein content. Not bad. A bit dry, perhaps, and I doubt they would be as palatable without whatever it is they dusted them with. I'll give'em a 5/10.

So your dad was your scoutmaster?

Is there a joke in there somewhere?  My dog's name is Scout and I sometimes call him Scoutmaster  :-\

Weirdest thing I've eaten is rattlesnake and alligator (or was it armadillo? ;))  while in Texas.

snipe hunting is generally a boy scout thing, you're a girl, i said your dad was your scoutmaster, you can't be in boy scouts cuz your a girl, so how can your dad be your scoutmaster?

ha ha, funny funny...k, lame joke...


I just thought it was one of those rights of passage all kids go thru. 

I can't believe they sent me out into some field in the dark  >:(
I recall being really pissed when I learned the truth.

I'm over it now  ;D

probably had something to do with every single "adonis principle case study" realizing he was full of shit, and tweeter blowing the doors open on the whole thing.

i have to admit that if i was revealed to be a weird semi-stalker who cons guys into sending him nearly-nude photographs of themselves for purposes of dietary advice i never give, i'd probably vanish from the boards as well.

a good question for tweeter: considering adonis never gave him anything via the formula and whatnot... what exactly did he do that could be called "the adonis principles"? seems like all he did was try and eat 1800 calories a day with zero regard for macronutrients or sources. if that's "the adonis principles" then every "portion-cutter" does them.

You can get all kinds of animals from the sea at sushi places. sea urchin, eel, octopus, squid, fish eggs, all this is very uncommon to eay for many people, for a japanese it's totally normal.

i had alligator in Florida, frog legs in Thailand, snails in France, Kangaroo in an Australian restaurant in germany, ostrich steak, cow's tongue. i really think meat is meat.

It's not very odd but I ate caribou a few times cause my stepbrother does lots of hunting especially in Canada. I had a Caribou cheese steak which I thought was better then the normal beef variety. I heard Pat's Steaks in Philly got caught using horse meat and my friend wouldn't eat there cause of it, I said to him what's the big fucking deal it's still meat and just as good.

When I went to the Phillipines...we ate whats called Balut...its a developing chicken egg with the embroyo still developing but not yet with feathers or hard tissue. They would boil the egg, crack the top and drink it like chicken soup...it was delicious!

Also ate frogs too and dog in the Phillipines. Frog tasted just like chicken. Dog tasted lighter than beef...it looked like beef but it didnt taste like beef

bear, deer or venison, rabbit, osterich burgers and steak, raw quall, also cooked, a bit chewy raw thts for sure,  raw hamburger my dad was friends with these arabs who used to soak raw hamburger in all sorts of stuff, not bad again raw meat is always chewy and now a days i wouldn't eat it for any amout of money but they had this supplier of organic grain fed beef so i guess it was okay.  I am currently waiting for my neighbors dog to die so i can give tht a try, and my cat is getting older so i am waiting her out too.

Ok there is Dolphins (mammals) and Dauphins (fish, aka Mahi Mahi).  The latter tastes pretty damn good.  Hope that helps.

Most establishments just call it Mahi Mahi now to avoid dumba$$es thinking it flipper.  So are buffalo wings buffalo? ??? ;D 8)

Correct. People just cannot understand that dolphinfish is not dolphin. People are probably willing to shell out more for it if sounds exotic, too.
