Most Australian marsupials are protected and therefore unavailable for eating. I'm with ducks on the koala thing. I doubt they'd be very tasty.

I've had several of the things mentioned in the list, along with crocodile.

You can get shark meat in most fish and chip shops here. I would have thought it would be the same everywhere.

Depends on how close the nearest sharks are I assume... I've eaten shark, but it's not commonly on the menu.

I've eaten quite a few things on the list, but missed out on the larger animals - just not available over here. I'd like to try squirrel - so may are shot/ poisoned as they damage trees, it seems wrong to waste the meat.

I ate horse in France. Can't say I was bothered one way or another. It was in a highly flavoured sauce, so I can't comment on the taste. It was tough as old boots - but I think that was lack of cooking skill/ cheap restaurant.
