Growing up in rural Georgia, I did enjoy wild rabbit as well as turtle soup.
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

You listed Giraffe twice. Likely an effort to show off!

Pigeon is eaten in many parts of the world. In some parts, such as the Middle East, it's a delicacy. They're raised like quail, game hens, or chickens, so there's no cause to be squeamish.

Riiight. In New York, we call pigeons "flying rats."
In the Sepik River Basin, New Guinnea, they eat giant worms, though they swear they've given up human flesh. "Yum," they say.

Like I said, the pigeons are raised in cages -- which would imply they're not the same ones you'd see flying around in New York. Did you know that pigeons are actually the feral descendants of birds domesticated as a food source thousands of years ago? Their poop was also used as a fertilizer. I, for one, would not mind seeing them back on more menus. Although I've never had pigeon, I hear it's tasty. Much closer to duck than chicken. Also, the passenger pigeon was hunted to extinction because it was a very popular food. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/07/does-pigeon-mea/

Similarly, the best kind of escargot are the kind that infest lawns in California. Go fig, eh?
