    Follow up question, are there any meats that aren’t edible?

    I’ve heard that you shouldn’t eat the livers of predators due to poisonous amounts of vitamin A that can be built up in them, but that’s strictly offal rather than meat.

      Depends on your definition of edible I suppose. Puffer fish are lethal poisonous if not prepared properly, probably not the only animal like this, and all high level predators have bio-accumulation which renders their bodies generally unhealthy to eat in large quantities.

      I was thinking more along the lines of palatable I suppose. Canada Goose is apparently nasty which is a shame considering how numerous they are nowadays.
