Top 5 Countries for Carnivores – interesting meats

Florida, USA - Alligator

In the depths of the Floridian Everglades lives the alligator, a massive man eating reptile which can reach a length of over 5 meters and can live for fifty years. But you can get your own back by tucking into an alligator steak at various restaurants in Florida State. Alligator meat is said to be low in fat compared to beef or lamb, and it has a fine, light-grained texture comparable to pork or chicken. Find cheap flights to Miami

China – Snake

The Chinese certainly can’t be accused of being fussy. The variety of animals they eat seems to encompass every living creature that roams the earth, air and sea, including snake-on-a-stick that can be bought from street vendors in cities like Beijing, alongside scorpion-on-a-stick and seahorse-on-a-stick.

Slovenia – Horse burger

Though some countries shy away from eating horse, it’s commonly consumed in many European, South American and Asian nations, including Slovenia, where horse meat is readily available from supermarkets and restaurants. The renowned Red Hot-Horse take-away joint in capital Ljubljana offers a tasty horse burger for just three euros. Find cheap flights to Ljubljana

Japan – Kobe Beef

Made from the Wagyu cow, Kobe Beef is one of Japan’s most famous specialties. Kobe cattle are well cared for; their diet includes beer and they are regularly massaged by hand, which produces a succulent, mouth-wateringly marbled meat. This tender loving care doesn’t come cheap though; at more than £200 per lb, Kobe Beef is the most expensive in the world. Find cheap flights to Japan

South Korea – Dog

Although not a regular part of the average Korea’s diet, boshintang (dog stew) is a traditional Korean dish eaten by older Korean men who believe the meat enhances sexual stamina and virility. During the 1988 Olympics, the South Korean government reputedly banned eating dogs in areas frequented by tourists, as the practise is considered cruel by many Westerners (and Koreans) largely due to the manner in which the dogs are raised and killed.

Scotland – Haggis

A common dish up here in our native Scotland, it’s without doubt our most famous food. Although the dish is a popular Scottish meal found in many Scottish restaurants and cafes, wild haggis itself is rarely seen in its natural highland habitat, due to its shy nature. In addition to haggis, Scotland is famed for its wild venison and Aberdeen Angus beef. Find cheap flights to Edinburgh
