A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn't realize was rotting from the inside out

Hotdog!

Mostly racoon from what I'm led to believe.

Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.

Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.

Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They're good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.

Soy curls are a miracle.

I added tofu to my rotating protein list and it’s been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.

Maybe an unpopular one... but while I was in Iceland I had foal. You can get it at any grocery market there. It's without question the best meat I've ever had.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.

[–] Arfman@aussie.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Crab. Always looked forward to the few days a month my family have crab.

Elk is fantastic. Elk chops with a sweet demiglas is chefs kiss

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Deer meat.

~Sorry for delete prev. comment. Did a typo and reacted stupidly.~

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Someone wrote beans so you're ok

The salmon seasons on the US West coast have been essentially non-existent for a couple of years. The Abalone season has been suspended for over 5 years. Both of those meats are absolutely amazing, especially when you prepare and eat them the day you caught them. I miss those two the most.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bison/buffalo burgers are delicious.

[–] call_me_xale@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

+1. It's like beef but leaner and more flavorful.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Quail is pretty good.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Ostrich. Easily the best game meat. It’s incredible.

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I like duck if it's done properly, but eat kangaroo more often.

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.

As a 10 year vegan, the meats I miss the most are gator tail and venison

Isn't that how you get salmonella?

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Only if you eat it under your umbrella

Venison probably. Boar is also good.

On poultry, I'd go turkey over duck. Not keen on goose, too fatty.

beyond beef 😝

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Horse! It's actually probably just my favourite meat in general even including the others

[–] brap@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (5 children)

I imagine horse is a lot like beef as Tesco got away with using horse meat in ready meals for who knows how long.

Buffalo is so fucking good

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 4 points 3 days ago

Ostrich and reindeer are both very good

probably catfish

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago
[–] accideath@feddit.org 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Probably venison and/or wild boar (if you don’t count the latter as pork). My partner’s parents are hunters and they’ve given us some excellent boar steaks and self made game sausages before.

mine is bork. it is a secret third meat that is neither beef nor pork.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Venison, lobster, scallops, crab, and shrampies!

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

Moose can be pretty good, but I think I would have to say Turkey

[–] scintilla@kbin.earth 4 points 3 days ago

Venison is great.
