Well? You can pick 3.
I've eaten all of those listed except deer (and commie vegans). I'd have to go with sheep (lamb kebab :mmm: ), cow (beef :mmm: ), and pig (bacon :mmm: )
Horse is delicious...
Lamb, fish and gamey stuff (I'm conflating deer, rabbit and fowl for that) :mmm:
Bambi.
Chicken and bacon!

Almost there: baby goat (kid?) is better than lamb IMO, crustaceans are delicious, deer and other big game (boar!) are excellent.

I've only had kid once, in Spain. A braised shoulder I think. It was very good, but it's very rare in this country. Where I live you can get plenty of goat but not kid.
Boar's a good pick too.
Pig, cow, and alligator
This is my favorite season to go to a restaurant: deer, boar, pheasant, pidgeon,... on the menu. :mmm:
Just for you, my dear carniverous friends. A meat advent calendar:

Today's meat is... ostrich :)

Horse is great. It tastes more like steak than steak does.
Voted pig, cow, and sheep. I would have included deer in the mix but venison SUCKS if it's not prepared well.... not as true with the others.
What about live animals?

I've only eaten live octopus (well, it was alive up until we cut its legs off, then dipped the legs in sauce and ate it).
I dunno, duck? I really don't feel comfortable eating duck though. I'm still guilty off that one time I did.
I guess in more general meats its between beef and pork.
Awesome beef > awesome pork
Average pork > average beef
Rubbish beef > rubbish pork.
I'm not big on lamb, I prefer mutton, but still don't like that too much. Chicken and turkey are ok but are rather meh. Deer is OK but a bit fragmentary, you find it in your teeth for days to come.
I forgot about duck :mmm:
Sea cockroach, pig, and cow.
Kangaroo is wonderfull.
Pig, fish or other sea creature, and Other.
Personally, duck, horse, scallops, kangaroo, ostrich, goat, beef, the many forms of pig, alligator.... so much to choose from...
Pig, sheep, and duck. Duck's awesome, as long as you know someone who can dry it out and prepare it properly.
Hmmm
Bighorn sheep was very tasty. I also liked moose a lot. The best burger is buffalo, I can buy it in the Safeway here, but elk burger is a close second.
Pig, deer and sheep.
In this order.
Ox.
sea horse is the steak of the sea.
Pig and sea creatures, shrimp, crab, lobster, scallops, mussels, clams
Duck is great. If I'd remembered I would've put it on the list.
Pigs, chickens, cows but pigs are the best. Their non-kosher deliciousness simply cannot be rivaled.
Frankly, I don't see what the pork craze is about. I don't think pork is particulary tasty per se.
Unless we're speaking about Iberic ham or other cold cuts. :mmm: :mmm: :mmm: :mmm: :mmm: :mmm:

Ribs and chops I don't particulary care for. Veal is better for the former and lamb for the latter. Bacon and sausages are spiced a lot, so the flavour of the meat is not "pure".

I wonder if pig is winning because of the format of the poll. I voted for it, but it's a clear #2 to cow imo.

Veal ribs? That's a new one on me.
Yes pork sausage gets spiced, but we have to credit the pig for it's ability to merge with the spice and become greater than the sum of the parts.
Never heard of spicing bacon.
Shrimp, bacon, steak.

Don't mind caribou either. :mmm:
I had moose soup yesterday. It was good.
I voted fish / sea food (on account of there being so many possible tastes and kinds), pig (on account on so many parts of pigs being edible and tasting so good) and deer (since I included other types of venison in that).
Cow, Turkey, and Other: Bison.
Quite a few votes for fish/sea creatures, I didn't have Languish pegged as a seafood loving community.

I'm slowly starting to enjoy pork. I think it got ruined for me because when I was a kid the only pork I ever remember eating was ridiculously over-cooked - at the time I just thought I didn't like it.

They have Spam with bacon in it now.
Turkey is the best. In fact, the turkey is proof that God exists and that he loves us. Tastiness is not a trait that would be favored by natural selection, and so therefore the existence of the turkey must require divine intervention. Divine, tasty, delicious intervention.

That was only true until man discovered: Animal Husbandry.
Pig, cow, creatures of the sea.
Chicken needs some advocacy. The culinary achievement of fried chicken alone guarantees an esteemed place for the chicken, not to mention delicious roasted and rotisserie chicken, and chicken salad.
I've been reflecting on the pork craze, and came to realize that all the pork stuff I like is, basically, processed in some way or another, and the one I don't like so much is more or less "pure" meat, which has lead me to conclude that pork is great as base meat for processing, but not so much to eat as it is.
Comments?

Pork loins and pork chops make mighty fine eating just plain.
Not sure what exactly you mean by processing, but pulled pork: :thumbsup:
Larch is teh goofy. Pork's fine pure; it's just not a meat that you can simply stick in the oven and bake. Broiled pork chops, though, I don't even need a marinade for (although I'm fond of marinating them and then basting in sesame teriyaki).
I also happen to like straight-up pork better than straight-up either beef or chicken (fried chicken is okay, but I get sick of it pretty quickly).

I didn't vote for deer for the same reason. Yeah, it's possible to screw up anything when cooking it, but venison is much easier to screw up than beef.
Actually the best meats of any variety I've ever had have all been from Animals that were slaughtered in not quite a brutal way as most. - Organic free range beef, chicken, pork.
I do like lamb occasionally, and fish? well fish is like a whole other world of meat. there is too much variety to put it all in one camp. but my favorite sea creatures to eat are Atlantic Salmon, Pacific Salmon, scallops, lobster, shrimp, in that order...
Moose
I was thinking about the pig thing too. I rate sausages over bacon and with pork itself I like fatty slow cooked stuff like pork belly :mmm:
I love sausages more than life itself, but I felt the need to cut down after finding out how carcinogenic they are. :( I can only court so many cancers with one body.
I bought a can of Spam with bacon today, and tried it. Sliced thin and fried on toasted bread with Miracle Whip.

Nope.
I suppose since you ate Miracle Whip that you don't like Mayo? Baconaise is everything good but bad for you about Bacon combined with everything good but bad for you about Mayo.
You can feel your arteries hardening as you eat it but don't care.
Can't stand regular mayo. However, Miracle Whip is god's spunk.

What's the best way to cook Spam? I've got a tin of it that's been sitting in my fridge since March. Should I fry it in a pan, maybe with some eggs?

Sliced thin, fried. When it browns a bit, its ready. On toast.
Skip the eggs.
If anybody else needs help with their poor food, I'd be glad to help. After all, I lived on this shit for awhile.
Address me as "CHEF" though.
Thanks, chef. I'll try it out tomorrow.
