Somehow, I just can’t imagine eating a cat (lion, tiger, etc.),or dog. Yet I love eating squirrel, which really is just a specialized rat. That well-muscled haunch is so good. Raccoon, another rodent,is relished by some folk, and I’ve been served rabbit a few times, in the Navy, of all places. It was good.

I had no idea people ate big cats. It's not something I would do -- cats and dogs (of any size) seem like friends to me, so I'd pass on that dish. But I've had alligator, kangaroo, boar, bison, rabbit and whatnot. If I had an opportunity to eat raccoon, possum or squirrel, I'd give it a try.

I'm annoyed that my local stores don't sell goose, pheasant, goat or rabbit. I can get beef and chicken; that's about it. Even lamb is not so easy to find in my area -- which is a shame because I love lamb.
