Not sure I'd count ant or grasshopper as meat, but hey, this is your meme.

The only items on your list I have not had are bear and dog. I agree cat should be there, and horse and guinea pig (for animals more typically seen as pets in the U.S.), though I haven't had any of those, either. Have had kangaroo, squirrel, opossum

There are more than a few water creatures, vertebrate and invertebrate, I've had that aren't on your list like crayfish/crawdad, octopus, squid, sea cucumber, skate, marlin, sardine, sturgeon, orange roughy, ono ... too many! I use this website and related iPhone app to keep up-to-date on what to choose: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/seafoodwatch.aspx

I totally forgot to list octopus and squid, probably because I don't like them :-) I forgot that I had crayfish when I was in New Orleans. That's right - I remember a cooking show where they had to prepare a dish using sea cucumber (which is basically a marine slug). I was originally just going to list "fish," but decided to be more specific. I knew I hadn't listed them all.

I am impressed by the range of your culinary adventurousness!
