Alt: my friend Ben's mother is a restaurant critic for the Evening Standard.
He's eaten some waki stuff in his time, and claims the Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi to be his favourite restaurant of all time. Reading recent reviews it seems you can no longer get game meats there, but according to Ben you used to be able to eat 'all kinds of endangered species' there. I am fucking gutted that I missed the boat on that.

As with Vippers I would say foie gras is one of my all time favourite meat dishes, but for variety I'd take the pig as tastiest...although my favourite meal (certainly in my top two) is a cracking (beef) steak. What a man of contradictions I am.

Honey Badger. Or otters, maybe. Or Humbolt squid. There are too many brilliant critters out there.
Of the ones I've eaten I think cow or pig is probably the tastiest, after all we've been breeding them for maximum deliciousness over thousands of years. I would quite like to try tortoise, QI tells me they are rather good. Also I want to eat crocodile, although I will be furious that the meat isn't green.
(, Wed 13 Apr 2011, 11:52, Reply)
the QI tortoise thing sounded fascinating
they must have been so delicious

crocodile is probably much like alligator, which I have eaten. It was tough and bland. I think that may have been because it wasn't dealt with properly.
