For 4 people you need:
Creole rice:
1 small onion, peeled
1 stalk celery
1 small green sweet pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup mushrooms
3/4 cup rice
1 1/2 cups stock
seasoning

Eggs and sauce:
4 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/4 cups tomato juice
salt
1 teaspoon made mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
pinch brown sugar

1. Chop onion coarsely with celery and pepper, removing core and seeds.

2. Fry in the butter for 5 minutes without browning.

3. Add sliced mushrooms and rice, cook for further 4 minutes, add stock.

4. Cover pan, cook for 20 minutes or until no moisture remains. Season well.

5. Meanwhile hard-cook the eggs and make the sauce.

6. Melt the butter, stir in flour, cook for 2 minutes, remove from heat.

7. Gradually blend in tomato juice, simmer until thickened, add remaining ingredients, and cook for 5-10 minutes. Season well.

TO SERVE: Put rice into a hot dish, top with halved shelled eggs. Pour sauce over or serve separately.

TO VARY: If green pepper is not available, use canned pimiento. Omit mushrooms and add chopped bacon.
As far as I can tell the nearest genetic link to real deviled eggs is the mustard.

You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
You know what's not good? Possum meat is not good. You'd think squirrel would be gamier but it's really not-- possum just has this revolting flavor going on that reminds me of opening a drawer in some long-abandoned back bedroom and finding a squirming nest of pink baby mice and just breathing in that sickly sweet stench. And people always seem to want to stew it, which means that every last ounce of potatoes and carrots and squash and whatever is marinated to the core with that foul, greasy flavor.

Snake is p good if grilled right, but it never is.

Possum meat demands a lot of soaking before and throwing away of the soaked water. It tastes fine if you soak it in brine, similar to tripe

I've had camel burgers at a remote outback place in Kings Canyon, Australia and it was really good.
Crocodile is pretty good too, very lean, tastes like a fishy chicken and is good in stir frys.
We had Cuy in Peru, it's good, nothing special though.
Goat is fantastic in curries because it needs a long slow cook to tenderise it otherwise it can be a fatty and chewy.
Rabbit is great, had it in the UK, Italy and Aus. I can actually get some from the supermarket now if I wanted.
Kangaroo is very lean but very tasty as long as you cook it medium rare.
Venison is like a gamey beef and can be used a few ways depending on the cut.
I feel sorry for America if lamb is not a regular meat, it's my favourite meat and again different cuts are good for different methods of cooking, like backstrap is great done medium rare, while shoulder or leg are good for stews and curries.

Organ meats and offal are quite trendy in Australia at the high end restaurants, so we've had deep fried pigs ear in one place and brains in another. Brains were good, pigs ear was just crispy and a bit chewy but made for a good textural garnish.

There's a place near me("near" being literally in another country, but that's Europe for you) that does absolutely insane Pi Pa duck. It's fun to be able to say that I've travelled abroad for the express purpose of eating a certain dish. Obviously I can also get duck here, but nowhere near as well prepared.

Snakes and alligators and such are totally unheard of here though which is a pity.

We raise rabbits for food at home and I'm not sure what the big deal is as far as eating them. Very mild, firm white meat. Low in fat so cooking low and slow is good, or in stews and soups. We also have a fairly sizeable groundhog infestation because we live in bumfuck rural Pennsylvania. This leads to the occasional groundhog stews, as my wife and I think it's a waste to kill them and not make use of them. The groundhog has a very dark red meat but is fairly inoffensive as well, somewhere between chicken and beef in flavor and texture. It's basically just a big ground squirrel so if you make sure you get all the organs out cleanly (the lungs like to hide WAY UP IN THERE) it is actually good.

It's possible it was rubbery from the way it was cooked. I wasn't put off enough to say I wouldn't try it again. Case in point, never had catfish growing up and when I finally did, it was in a fish fry and it was awful. There was no taste beyond this tongue-wrenching gaminess and overcooked cornmeal breading. Each time I had it after that, still the tongue-wrenching gaminess to where just thinking about it made me queasy. It wasn't until moving out here and talking with a co-worker who was from the Deep South that suggested that the person who was cooking it just didn't know how to cook it and that's why it was so awful. He even brought me some from when he had a barbecue and it was like a different fish altogether the taste was so much better. Lesson learned: My ex-husband can't cook catfish to save his rear end.

Alhazred posted:

I probably should've clarified that they weren't so much exotic but very rare to come across where I grew up unless you had family that went out and hunted or had a farm. It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I got to try these. Even with rabbit, only way we had rabbit meat was because my paternal grandpa raised some for food. But then in my old neighborhood, we still had people who remembered the only way you could get traditional Italian cooking staples like olive oil and garlic was making a trip back to Little Italy.
