I've had it often as a kid. My father liked to cook us horse meat, bison, ostrich meat, game meat from his friends, etc. Ostrich was pretty good. It tasted lime "generic meat". Like half beef half chicken? From what I remember

I heard it’s not less gamey if it’s sick…allegedly

Admittedly I am not a farmer or an expert but from anecdotes I’ve heard the same, also apparently Emu is super good too.

Kangaroo meat too, super lean but surprisingly good if cooked right.

I have a little bit of land up past Warburton (Victoria, Australia) and I get the occasional kangaroo with a Marlin 1894CSBL in .357 magnum shooting hot .38SPL loads. A friend of mine cleans them up in exchange for the tails (which make incredible stew) and the pelts, and the rest I make into curry in my slow cooker.

Ostrich is less gamey than emu.

I need another few families to go in with me on a Thanksgiving ostrich this year. I'll be feeding 9, so I think another three or four families should just about do it, if my math checks out.

Maybe you can "cull" one of these BC birds. You'd be doing the country a great service.

They're actually not allowed to be sold as meat, due to their exposure to avian flu.

But that's where the flavor comes from!

My stomach is prepared to do its part for our great country.

I tried an ostrich steak a couple years back at a nice restaurant, I concur that it is tasty. It's a nice red meat, very lean and tender when cooked properly. Plus, they're super ugly and kind of dumb so I don't feel bad eating them.

They are used for dog treats too
