If you're into adventure eating, I'd advise to NOT eat Junebug. Well, not alive, at least. Never tried it cooked.
I've had horse brain as the most "exotic" meat. My mom was nucking futs. She loved foods other people would puke if they ate. Horse brain ranks right up there as the worst food I've ever eaten. I don't know if I'd eat that over Brussels Sprouts or not. They are different experiences but equally as horrid.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
I grew up in a hunting/fishing family. Hunting in season and fishing and running trot lines in the warmer weather. Turtle is amazing! My folks used to cook it. Dad caught and cleaned the turtle. Mom battered the pieces and fried them like you would chicken. Put them in a pressure cooker with mushroom soup and cooked it the rest of the way. Great stuff, highly recommend trying it that way if it's ever an option. Squirrel and rabbit is great eating, some of my favorites. I'd rather hunt squirrel for meat than deer. Venison is good but you can't beat fried squirrel, and a lot easier to get them back to the truck and butcher up. Foul of any kind is good. Once we had a pigeon problem at my brother in law's farm. We plinked them from the rafters with a pellet gun. Dad came over and said there's no way he's letting them go to waste. Cleaned about a dozen pigeons and my sister cooked them up. I was super hesitant, but damn they were good. Pigeons are also called rock doves and eating doves is a thing so why not? Organic pigeons raised on whatever they eat and stray corn in the animal pens makes good eating.
I worked with an old retired military man. He told me about basic training and how they were all just drained. They got rewarded with a huge banquet near the end of basic. They all just ate and ate their fill. They let them know afterwards what they had eaten. Everything from monkey to dog and cat to rats and all sorts of crazy in between. They wanted to instill that in survival anything with fin, fur, or feathers was good eating. He said at first he had a brief moment of feeling queasy, then realized everything he had eaten was delicious.

Brussel sprouts are good if cooked properly.
People say that. People lie!
Although I'm not sure of the comparison, having only tasted the sprouts, I imagine Brussels Sprouts have a similar taste to feces.
Roast them and use bits of bacon and a bit of bacon grease. Cook past al dente but not soft.
One of the more popular side items in mid-upper end restaurants for at least 2-3 years or so. I can eat a small serving, but the wife can make a meal out of them. But, to each his own.

Another recipe, roast them in an oven dish. Before roasting put some olive oil on them (or butter) some garlic, salt and crushed pecans. The pecans go really well with brussel sprouts.
Definitely put olive oil and Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on most things we cook. Never thought about pecans with Brussel Sprouts. Will have to suggest it to the wife. Thanks for the tip!

Shave a little Parmesan or similar hard cheese over them when you serve. Definitely al dente, that's the most important thing. So many vegetables are actually good if they aren't cooked beyond recognition.
Adding bacon to ANYTHING makes it more palatable. Why ruin bacon with the vegetable equivalent of poop?
Like getting a summons for snorting coke.
Not for the cocaine, but for the plastic straw.
From now on I'm sticking to C-notes. It's cheaper.
