Mmmmmm... fooood.

It will always be tough to compare because it can be tough to cook everything to spec, in the moment. Not all filet mignon are the same quality. There might also be better ways of preparing dog or whatever animal that you may not be privy to.

A wild boar can taste quite different, too, and usually, imo, better than any pork from the store.

That being said...

Cougar is decent... all the big cats taste about the same. Bear can be better, imo. Not always. There is a difference in taste between the Kodiak fish eating bear and the berry eating bears of Denali. Bear jerkey is pretty decent trail food.

I ate cougar/mountain lion in Colorado and bear in Alaska.

I've kinda lost track of all the stuff I went out of my way to try. Coyote and dog are both meh. I think of it as "the Grey meat". I had dog and bat in the South Pacific, Coyote in New Mexico.

Cat meat is better than dog, but I felt weird eating it. Not as good as big cat. Both the dog and cat were served with bones which... wasn't to my liking.

Alligator is actually pretty good in garlic butter. You can get it all over Louisiana.

Snake isn't that bad, either, though the capture and preparation is definitely minus points. I had some fer de lance, once... "for protection". I had rattlesnake in something similar to that butter sauce for alligators.

Darwin was really into eating his discoveries and I always thought it would be a wasted opportunity not to try random stuff.

There is an exotic meat market near me, that I've tried many things from. Of all the those meats, I actually find my favorite to be bison mixed with beef into burgers. Honorable mention are the bobcat sausages.

The best place to hunt and eat is New Zealand. You don't need tags or have limits for feral sheep, deer or pig. They're fat and healthy.

Turduckens are pretty exotic, if you think about it.

I had something similar in the middle east, once. There is apparently some mythological recipe about a camel stuffed with lamb, stuffed with chickens, stuffed with a bunch of other stuff. The version we were served did not have include a camel, but was basically a Middle Eastern Turducken.

It was the only decent thing I ate in the Middle East. I generally hated their food and they always ruined coffee with cardomime.
