I like a bit of rabbit myself. Another one of those 'taste like chicken ' animals. Normally I have it when on holiday somewhere in Europe, doesn't seem to be popular UK/Ireland. Surprised lamb was mentioned, I thought it was one of the standard meats. Had some last Sunday at my folks. Always goes well with mint sauce and roasties I've tried rabbit stew once and it was freaking delicious. I've no problem eating game meat. Would eat it much more If I had more close friends who hunted.

I had reindeer meatballs in Finland. It was fine. Reindeer and elk are pretty common food over here. Last month I bought loads of canned ones.

Always goes well with mint sauce and roasties I suppose part of it has to do with geography. There's beef, pork, and chicken raised here, but sheep isn't due to the tropical climate. So what's available of it is frozen and quite pricey so the market for it isn't large.

Lamb is on the more expensive side even here which is a shame as I'd probably eat alot more of it.

Snail. I couldn’t possibly tell you how it tastes as I ate it more than three decades ago. When I was a kid, we used to play 'rock, paper and scissors' and loser had to eat fried up bugs... I had snail (with blue cheese sauce) once with my brother in a restaurant. It was chewy AF. Not delicious at all. The chief watched proudly the dish as I tried it, I was in the verge of vomiting... 😂

Feels odd to me seeing mentions of deer since that's a perfectly normal, if kind of rare, meat here in WV given how many people hunt every year. Kind of always have someone or other lining up to give you some they have lying around.
It's very good incidentally.

Speaking of snails, there's snails from the sea or some other body of water that gets sold here. Can't eat it. I've been traumatized by Uzumaki to not eat them. Frogs as well. I'm not even gonna try to gloss over it. Frogs makes me scream. No lie, frog got inside my home one summer. I covered myself up to slightly poke a frog out, screaming all the time.
Now, mussels I can eat. The whole mussel is... well, it looks sexual. Stew it with Sprite or 7UP. I can empty the pot. Ginger, garlic, onions, chili, and the Sprite plus rice broth... that's a Sunday lunch.

And also, mentioning crocodiles made me find out that lechon crocodile is a thing here. Just a whole crocodile stuffed with stuff and roasted.
Like, in the Philippines in Luzon, which is the most urbanized island out of the three main islands. It looks good. I'd want a ton of rice on it.

I could go find white tale deer, moose and caribou meat in my chest freezer right now. I’ve eaten bear, mountain goat, bison, mule deer, prairie chicken, rabbit off the top of my head.

While living with some guys who liked to hunt I tried venison, squirrel, rabbit and goose. In restaurants I have had bison, alligator, yak, ostrich, goat, and elk.

When I lived in Japan we used to regularly go to this restaurant owned by a guy who just loved to cook the weirdest stuff he could get his hands on. So we went through alligator, kangaroo, reindeer, camel, and slightly more standard stuff such as horse, turtle soup, and snake sake.
I had raw ostrich a couple of times and when prepared correctly, it's one of the most delicious things you'll ever eat.

Snake and crocodile
I don't see the point of eating them. Snake tasted like dry chicken with lots of little bones. Crocodile tasted like dry, chewy chicken with out many bones.
Neither were anywhere near as nice as chicken. Just eat chicken.
I tried these grub things in Thailand--they were sort of fried, so they were crispy and served with this sort of curry powder. Actually were quite nice,

Surprised lamb was mentioned, I thought it was one of the standard meats. Had some last Sunday at my folks. Always goes well with mint sauce and roasties It's not super exotic in general, and obviously eaten a ton of english-speaking places, it's just that in the US, it's not that commonly eaten in most of the country. Supposedly, part of it is that it was used in rations in WW2 and soldiers got really sick of mutton and it lost popularity due to that, though I suspect the bigger issue is just the beef, pork, and chicken have so much more presence for most people. Duck is similar in that it's great, but it's not that commonly seen.

Jellyfish. The seasoning was alright, but I didn't like the texture which was like a really hard, chewy, rubbery kind of thing.
Also ate whale when it was offered during a food tour I went to in Norway. Kinda had the texture of beef in a way.

Oh yeah, almost completely forgot that I had escargot in Paris. It wasn't bad at all, but then again anything drowned in butter and garlic is going to at least be decent.
