   This was nearly 40 years ago in NYC - a restaurant in Greenwich Village   
   was serving a 'Game Menu' of exotic meats.   
      
   I had Lion, Alligator, and Rattlesnake as well as Elephant. All were   
   from game ranches in Texas.   
      
   Other unusual meats I've had include Buffalo (not so rare now),   
   venison (ditto), (fermented) Shark, and Foal (the last two in Iceland).
