    Arrow What meat have you tried ?

    Japanese people are voracious meat eaters. Interesting as they were mostly vegetarians, apart from fish ans seafood, before the late 19th century.

    Nevertheless, most Japanese limit their culinary experiments to the 3 main meats : beef, pork and chicken. Most of them make faces when you tell them about lamb, and very few have ever eaten turkey, pheasant, rabbit, venison (deer), wild boar, horse, goat, frog, snail, ostrich/emu, kangaroo, camel, antelope, crocodile/aligator, snake... (but thet do eat whale and dolphin !)

    My question is, which of these meats do you like - and which have you never tried ? Personally I am yet to try some smaller birds like pigeon or thrush (eaten in France), or snake. Although I have tried whale sushi once, I am not going to try again and I won't have dolphin and probably not dog either.

    So far, there isn't any meat I really dislike. It's all about how it is cooked and serrved.
