What's the most unusual protein you've consumed?

[ribonucleic]

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 never would have guessed that a dolphin tastes like fish "ribonucleic", thanks for the info.

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.

did that include Scout-master cream?

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.

haha, did they ever take you on a snipe hunt? 

My dad and grandpa sent me on one of those when I was a kid.
 

[youandme]

I heard they made you eat trouser snakes.

lmao, I don't know if anyone caught that

[Princess L]

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.

[Princess L]

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 

[EL Mariachi]

Well if you are on the Apenis Principle then this is usually how you get your protein.
