• Kangaroo Burger, Anyone?

  So my friend recently visited Australia and she told me about some food that they eat that we kind of eat here...

  Viola! Kangaroo burgers. I kid you guys not.
  
  Apparently, they say that kangaroo burgers taste "gamey", which means (I had to look it up) like wild taste that game has, kind of like deer-y taste? It's supposed to taste really earthy, strong, and tangy; it's one of those things where you have to try it to really understand the description and flavor of. They only eat a diet of weed, acorn, wood bank and etc. instead of the animals that we eat which eat grain.
  
  I grew up as a really big meat eater, beef, pork, chicken all the way; I'll eat anything with meat. But when my friend mentioned kangaroo burgers, I kind of cringed because I think of kangaroos as animals! Then again so are chickens, cows, and pigs, but I think it's a cultural thing. Kangaroos are found everywhere in Australia, so their main meat is kangaroo meat, so I guess it's understandable.
  

  

  See what I mean. Kangaroo crossing. Beware!
  
  Honestly, after getting used to the idea of kangaroo burgers, it doesn't seem all that disgusting anymore.
  
  Other weird animal dishes.
  

  

  
  Korean dog meat. Sadly, if someone put this in front of me, I would probably have eaten it without question. It looks like normal Asian food!
  
  So be careful with what you eat when you're abroad, it might surprise you that what you're eating isn't what you thought it was.

  What other meats did you come across with while traveling abroad that you don't normally eat in your country?
