>>I've not tried ostrich or kangaroo, but alligator jerky was a lot of fun. <<
Ostrich is a bright red meat, quite tasty.
>>Crawdads are a LOT of work for the amount of food<<
Yeah, unless you find really big ones, better to pay someone else to do the cleaning.
>>Duck was, again, very, very greasy compared to chicken or turkey. I can see why it's fallen out of favor in the US holiday season.<<
Duck and goose are waterfowl. They have a layer of insulating fat. So either you skin them, or you prick the skin all over. I prefer the latter because then the delicious fat runs into the bottom of the roasting pan, where it can be sucked up and saved to make delectable roast potatoes or latkes or whatever.
