• Whale gums taste like cream cheese.
• Young monkeys are spicy, but first they must be stuck in jars and buried in the ground.
• An armadillo--especially the 12-banded Brazilian variety--baked in it's scaly coat is a wonderful treat. The flesh tastes somewhat like a rabbit.
• Manatee meat tastes like pork and veal. The tail is the juiciest part so make sure you get some of that.
• Lizards can cure cancer if eaten alive, or so it was once thought in Guatemala. (Imagine allowing a live, wiggling lizard to slide down your throat!)
• Elephants' toes were once considered a luxury in Ceylon. The only way to eat them is after they are pickled in strong toddy vinegar and cayenne pepper.
