There’s a few animals I was surprised to find out some find weird to eat: rabbit, horse, reindeer. I was especially surprised by rabbit. It’s such a commonly hunted animal too.

I don’t know about eating a whole horse but horse meat is sometimes used in meetvursti and similar meat products and horse meat is sold as cold cuts here in Finland. I like it

I checked and the meetvursti I have in the fridge right now has horse meat in it. Apparently bred and slaughtered in Argentina.

And crocs! I went to a buffet at the old Centrepoint Tower revolving restaurant that had emu, kangaroo and crocodile all to eat. I love me some kanga mince, but the steaks are a bit too tough for me. You’ve gotta slow-cook croc too because it’s pretty tough, but it has a really nice chicken-mixed-with-irony/bloody taste.

Yeah croc gotta taste nasty. Most meat eating animals (like humans) avoid eating other meat eating animals if they can.

There was some speculation that humans are good at throwing rocks specifically for hunting rabbits before tool development. The sling made it even easier.
