I hope this question doesn't make you too jumpy, or want to bury your head in the sand, but while you're at it, what's your take on:
  • ostrich
  • emu
  • kangaroo

Suzanne,

I've only had kangaroo sausage (at the Sunburnt Cow, on Avenue C) so I can't speak to 'Roo, nor Emu either. Ostrich never did anything for me; it doesn't have a distinct taste one way or the other, and the clean, lean, dark meat seems primarily eaten for its exoticism and low cholesterol count -- neither of which strike me as good reasons to eat any meat. My old friend the Scrapple King wrote some interesting notes on Ostrich in the "raw meat" thread, though, which you might find interesting.

Your Pal,
