http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_meat Havent tried it, but i gather dog is ok. Bear is as true delicacy throughout native peoples of the world, so no surprise with the dog. I always thought strict carnivores, for whatever reason, were terrible eating, but thinking about it, it cant be true, must depend on the animal. We all love a bit of flake, after all. Australian aborigines built hawk traps, so they cant have been that bad..... I know someone who had fox, after following a recipe of some sort, the verdict was "f****t***m##d***w!!Made me@%$&^**@puke." Verdict on fox, is "don't do it." Maybe it was a dud recipe. For that matter, I always figured rat should, kinda taste like chicken? Dunno. Anyone ever shot a wild goat? If smell were an issue, doubtful anyone would eat meat, even later, garlic slow roasted-the smell kinda hang's on, you know. Know someone who tried beaver and otter, and muskrat, prepared the native way-they thought it was alright-but maybe it's to long ago for them to truly recall what they thought of it.
goat is big in jamaica. it is similar to mutton. cat tastes like chicken i tell you. perhaps more similar to rabbit - but thats also similar to chicken. squirel is similar also.
