Bison steak. Iโ€™m not a steak person so it was likely wasted on me.

Alpaca.

I had a steak. It was fantastic.

I had clear, salty alpaca soup. It was food. I was in the Andes at some roadside truck stop. It was memorable, but the steak sounds much better.

When I served in the King's African Rifles, the local Zambezi tribesman called human flesh "long pig."

Never much cared for it.

Valloch.

But not on purpose.

"Exotic" meat's meaning animals besides the "normal" ones, are generally not great. They are novel, but the quality of the meat is low since normally the quantity of that kind of meat is low. Also there is a reason the meat is "exotic" in the first place. If it were particularly good, it would be mass produced since you can grow meat in a lot of places and the costs don't really vary that much.

I'd say if you want "exotic" meat, as in high quality beef or whatever, go for it. If you want "exotic' meat like elephant meat or something like that, it's not worthwhile.

i like bison and would eat it instead of beef if it didn't cost 2.5x as much

You are leading to the fact that initially the choice for the mass food industry was the choice of duck or chicken, the choice of chicken... That's how it happened.
