Shoving an ostrich into a bap must make a bit of a mouthful  :nod:

Shoestrings in Chippenham used to do/still do Ostrich burgers. I enjoyed them very much.

Had medallions of, on Friday - Chewy.

Lovely meat when fresh but so much of it is frozen and got knows how old it is.  Never had an ostrich burger but I dare say that they would be perfect.

Wild Boar and crocodile has to be my favourite “exotic meats”.

If its chewy then its overdone. They were juicy the ones I had- they were frozen orginally.

The Three Crowns in Brinkworth does ostrich (and crocodile, kangaroo etc etc) and when I had it it was delicious.  Not chewy at all.  No idea if it had been frozen or not.

I had camel sausages & Emu Burgers in Australia!  The sausages were vile (I didn't like the texture of the meat) but the burgers were nice!

Emu and Ostrich are lovely, wild boar is also awesome, if you arent sure then have it as a burger first, crocodile I wasnt too keen on but the rest are freely available in a lot of gastro pubs.

I would recommend reindeer if you can get it. Had a steak in Finland a few years back and it was gorgeous.

Boom boom.

I tried some kangaroo steak in Australia, but I couldn't eat it. It was nice but in the back of my head a little voice was going "you're eating skippy ya bastard". I know, super gay.

 :doh: you have to prop open the burger with a small stick while you eat it so it doesnt bite you.

You're living too near Kent! I have no idea what either is but it sounds suspiciously on a par with baked hedgehog.
