The Eye of Round is atrocious when it's either:

A) cooked improperly
B) used outside of roasts

A is my most common experience with Eye of Round, it's basically chewing on a tire if it isn't shredded up.

It's unsave-able. It's okay for swiss steak and shit like that. The problem is even the very few dishes it's marginally acceptable for, there are other tough cuts that are actually good in them. For instance why not use chuck for swiss steak? It's better in every way.

Maybe it makes good dog food.

The answer to bad cuts of beef is to grind it up and either make chili or tacos with it.

I'd rather make chili or tacos out of ground chuck too, and it's only marginally more expensive.
 
!) Wild Rabbit = THE WORST. My god, it's full of worms... Watching the wriggling while preparing the meat made me wanna barf.
2) Raw Snail. Gross. But I like Raw mussels...
3) Duck. Greasy motherfucking bird.
4) Squirrel. See #1, summer sausage is good, however...
5) Castrated adult Cock. Fucked up chicken. old and gamey for a raised animal.
6) Goat. Fucking nasty meat, no grain or uniform texture. Terrible mouth feel. Indians (asian-kind) can cook it right, however.
...
'Regular' meats
1) Turkey: dry and boring. Gravy makes it gross and fatty.
2) Chicken: dry and boring. Deep fry makes it gross and fatty.
 
Turkey. There's probably a way to cook it that doesn't make it taste disgusting but I've never had one that wasn't dry and bland.

The grim reality is you need the gravy to savor the full potential of a roast turkey or its just half dicking things at that point.
 
Pork is disgusting. you know that when you need to drench it with salt and god knows what to make it edible that your meat tastes bad

Hot Dogs are god tier though

I don't think "contaminated with parasites" is a fair complaint, I've had plenty of rabbit, never had a wormy one.

First, never disparage fried chicken.

Second, if your chicken is dry, you needed to stop cooking it about 20 minutes ago. There's no reason for chicken to ever be dry, unless you're, like... Trying to grill skinless chicken breasts on the grill, maybe. Yeah, then it would be a lost cause.
 
While I am strongly of the opinion that all meat from roadkill to rat to rabbit can be delicious if prepared right and cooked with the right ratio of fat to meat, even if said preparation is just mincing with herbs/spices and squeezing in to sausage skins, the one time I tried crocodile was fucking disgusting, although given they were fairly suspicious looking crocodile sausages I am willing to try the meat prepared in a different way if given the opportunity
 
I've only had both of them once and more as a novelty than anything, but Shark and Crocodile I could do without. Not that it was really bad, just kind of boring and bland. This was more than 10 years ago however so maybe my opinion has changed. Also, escargots usually just taste like their garlicy sauce they soak up but texture wise they're nothing special.

I've had really good alligator sausage done andouille style. It also had pork, I believe. It was highly spiced and served in a sizzling skillet along with sizzling honey. The right combination of spices can defeat moderate gaminess. Also I think the alligators were farm raised so presumably they controlled their diet.
 
Put me down for Turkey and Lamb. I don't mind the flavor of Turkey, and around Thanksgiving I WILL eat and enjoy it. Deli turkey though? Absolutely fuck that. It's always so greasy and nasty smelling. It has mouth-feel more similar to Kraft American singles, than it does any actual meat. Gimme a fresh, well-cooked bird, thanksgiving style, or miss me with that shit. Lamb gets a no from me, mostly because it is the turkey of mammal meat. The only way I'll eat it is in the form of a kebab or gyro.

As for my favorite meat, it is a three-way tie between steak, pork, and crab. I do love me some duck l'orange, too. Venison is nice, but it has to be done just right. Either ground in with really fatty beef, cooked like a steak, or as jerky. It's not hard to do correctly, but if you're cooking deer and you're not from the upper midwest, you're probably doing it wrong.
