Alligator andouille sausage is very good. Especially in gumbo. I may have to order some from a grocery store in New Orleans.

Have had rattlesnake (fried) too. Reminded me of something between fried chicken and fried clams.

I used to work for a southwestern state natural resource agency (game & fish), so have had: javelina (a piggie like critter that's acutally in the rhino family), bear, mountain lion, and deer meat (venison).
Growing up have had: squirrel, rabbit, snapping turtle, caribou, and mountain goat (Dad and various uncles were hunters). The snapping turtle made the fatal error of attacking Dad's fishing line, but good meat is not allowed to go to waste.
Lived in an Indian Reservation in Arizona: elk, and antelope. Elk is stronger flavored, makes great stroganoff, not so good in Chinese food.

I'd eat any of it again.
Should I also list ducks, dove, quail, and wild turkey? Did I mention that Dad and various uncles were hunters?

Actually, my brother made yak balls. We spent the weekend in ribald laughter over that. I still can't think of it without laughing.

When I lived in the middle of nowhere, I'd kill a rattlesnake 2-3 times a summer. Each time, I'd tell myself that I was letting perfectly good meat go to waste by not picking the thing up and cooking it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get past the picking it up part. So, while I've had plenty of opportunity, I've never had rattlesnake.
