Are we supposed to respond with a yes/no answer or with a picture of other would you eat it food?
Guinea pig is eaten in a lot of places. Really tastes a lot like pork, IMO.
If, I can get that 'gator barbecued with eastern NC sauce then I'm in . .
I can't handle eyeballs. Ordered a seafood stew/soup once that had an eye floating around in it. Nope, I was done before I started.
Oh heck yeah. Now you're talking. I would eat everything in this thread if I could dip it in Miracle Whip.
As a UNC fan I feel obligated to thank the passer, @tw3301, for the idea. My taste is a little different than his though. NTTAWWT
I've had alligator that was very good and I've had some that was too chewy. I've had red head that was very good also.
I ate gator when I was on a work trip in Louisiana several years ago. My company was acquiring a family-owned business and two of the sons insisted on taking us to a restaurant located on the bayou. The place was a dump but it was pretty big and loaded full of customers on a weeknight. I took that as a good sign.
We tried a lot of local food including gator, which was served cut up into cubes and fried. One of my coworkers was from Long Island and I got some pretty funny pictures of him trying the crawfish sampler (boiled, fried, etc.). He kept dipping them in his glass of water to rinse them, which the two brothers thought was the funniest thing they'd ever seen.
Anyway, the gator wasn't bad but it's not something I would seek out. I'm honestly surprised they don't serve it at McDonald's down there like they do with lobster in Maine.
Capybara is the largest rodent in the world, weighing up to 150 pounds. They're eaten throughout South America.This work?

There have been sightings of capys along the banks of the Cape Fear between Fayetteville and Tar Heel.
Coming up next on Animal Planet...Capybara is the largest rodent in the world, weighing up to 150 pounds. They're eaten throughout South America.
No, these were alive.
I love me some crawfish. Your co-worker from LI sounds like a real wanker.
A guy from the Cedar Creek area of Cumberland Co. was out riding an ATV through a field a few years back when what he said was the biggest snake he's ever seen rose up out of the knee high grass to shoulder height and looked at him. Everyone was speculating that somehow a cobra had gotten loose or been released.My first thought was "sounds like a bushmaster to me." I had an up close and personal experience with a bushmaster in Panama; so personal in fact that I now consider myself a fricken' bushmaster expert, lol.
Sure enough, about a year later another guy killed what turned out to be a bushmaster in the same general vicinity of the original sighting. He said it stood up at least 5 feet tall and came straight at him and that he was so frightened at first that he almost dropped his shotgun and ran. Instead he shot the snake with a load of buckshot. After he had blown it almost in two he shot it twice more just to be certain, lol.
ETA...I found the original story on WRAL.

I ate rattle snake in Arizona and my wife almost lost it. I like to tease her with some local cuisine when we go in the PG example beef tongue , chicken feet , Hog heads , ears etc. etc. We were in the Pig one afternoon looking for something for dinner and I came across beef tongue. I took it over to her and said "Let's try this cause I hear it's really good" , well her eyes got really big and she said "what is that , it looks like a giant cat tongue". I told her it's a cow's tongue and she starts mini-heaving and said please take it away before I throw up in the store.
I hope you understand if I don't click that link.
I could go ahead and post the photos if you'd rather.
That only works when you surprise me, like in the Random Picture Thread.
ETA: Jerk.
