For me it's ostrich. I've eaten a lot of elk and bison, but they're so easy to get in my area, I don't seem exotic (my mom's freezer is always full of bison hot dogs). I've eaten a lot of ostrich too. I had a roommate for several years who loved it and would cook with it all the time (mostly chilli, but he'd also make meatballs and other stuff with it).

My exwife and I once watched some people get served live shrimp at a fancy sushi restaurant. They were squirming around, trying to escape. They (the people) couldn't figure out what they were supposed to do with them. They asked the chef to demonstrate how to eat them, but he either misunderstood or was just like "lol, white people" and took them back, chopped their heads off, shucked their shells and returned them to the people.

When I served in the King's African Rifles, the local Zambezi tribesman called human flesh "long pig."

Never much cared for it.

Alpaca.

I had a steak. It was fantastic.

I had clear, salty alpaca soup. It was food. I was in the Andes at some roadside truck stop. It was memorable, but the steak sounds much better.

Bison steak. Iโ€™m not a steak person so it was likely wasted on me.

"Exotic" meat's meaning animals besides the "normal" ones, are generally not great. They are novel, but the quality of the meat is low since normally the quantity of that kind of meat is low. Also there is a reason the meat is "exotic" in the first place. If it were particularly good, it would be mass produced since you can grow meat in a lot of places and the costs don't really vary that much.

I'd say if you want "exotic" meat, as in high quality beef or whatever, go for it. If you want "exotic' meat like elephant meat or something like that, it's not worthwhile.

You are leading to the fact that initially the choice for the mass food industry was the choice of duck or chicken, the choice of chicken... That's how it happened.
