Ostrich or bison for red meat. Yes definitely; very under-rated IMHO. Any meat lover should at least try them. You may not like them (I find ostrich a bit too dry) but the are different enough to warrant investigation.

Also wild boar meat.

Brilliant, where do you get that stuff anyway? In restaurants or home made? Would love to try just for it's rarity.

Where I live there is always "that one shop" that does one of these unusual meats. You just got to look.

For wild boar, an Italian shop is your best bet to get some kind of salami or cured meat.

Can find ground bison at the grocery store just like regular ground beef (in Austin). Also, you could get either of them in a burger at a Fuddruckers.

Well, I'm in Australia, and the nearest thing I could find in our supermarkets is kangaroo meat, sliced and packed

Have you had kangaroo meat? How is it? (Hopefully you won't say "tastes like chicken".) There is a great butcher I visit who often has frozen kangaroo meat, and I've considered trying it.

Yes, cooking ostrich can be tricky - it is easy to make it too dry. Last night a friend recommended you marinate it in balsamic vinegar first.
