Following the beginning of this thread i went away and ordered Zebra, Bison, Wilder beast, Impala and Crocodile Fillets.
So far I have eaten Crocodile – unusual texture but great lean meat.
Impala – very much like a good fillet, nice and rare
Zebra – If honest little less gamey than expected but still a high quality piece of fillet.

Is that a sweet potato?
Looks like it....and they rock!
I haven't yet. I haven't really had much of it at all! Been a pretty busy couple of weeks, and I keep forgetting to defrost something. Going to have some Springbok this weekend, and maybe something else so I'll report back.
It is indeed, i use it as part of my diet for carbs.
either in the oven or 6 minutes in the microwave yum
So left this thread to die a bit.
I was planning on doing something fancy and doing reviews of the meat but my camera broke a few days after I got it and money was pretty tight so wasn't able to make anything amazing. I just basically cooked the meat simply, to enjoy the flavours and texture of unusual meat that you can't really get down the supermarket.
I'm a competent cook and wished I was able to do something more special but meat is meat right and I enjoyed tasting them at their 'raw' state so to speak.
Just a quick couple of words:
Zebra Burgers - Pretty tough and gristly. Had a weird 'earthy' flavour to them and quite a smoky after taste. Certainily not inedible but I wouldn't get them again. I prefer beef.
Bison Burgers - Much nicer. A lot more 'meaty' than your traditional beef and just seems to be full of flavour. Really good.
Zebra Filllet - As above, quite tough and not very juicy. How much was lost in freezing I don't know. I expected it to taste like Horse which I love but it just didn't live up to it. Again, I wouldn't order again.
Ostrich - Pretty good, can't fault it. Not amazing, not bad though.
Springbok - This was great. Like a really good sirloin really. I'd happy eat this again. I reckon it would be really versatile as well as it seemed to go with all the sides I had. Slap on the BBQ and it would be fantastic I reckon.
Crocodile - You couldn't BBQ this. Too much water in it.
Wild Boar (and apple) Sausages - These were fantastic. Pretty 'gamey' but really good. You wouldn't want to have them every morning in your butty because they were so rich but nonetheless were a nice treat. Getting more and more common in supermarkets as well which is a good sign I guess.
I also got some shark which I haven't eaten yet, and a big bag of snails which I haven't eaten also.
