Survival aside, if given a choice and winning a sizable bet weren't part of the picture, I'd politely decline brains, bear, muskrat and its ilk, and most insects and bugs unless they were dried and ground and mixed with other stuff (or covered in chocolate). Cat and dog, I'm not sure. Liver in general, unless I knew how the animal was maintained and fed (which pretty much limits me to one nearby chicken farmer).
