I've eaten porcupine in Cameroon. Nothing particularly striking about it.
My theory is that most unfamiliar meats taste like chicken (porcupine),
veal (gazelle) or squid (crocodile tail). I'm sure some taste like beef as
well, though more or less tough or rank. There are gradations - boa tastes
like squid on the outside, but strangely granular (like marrow) on the inside.
But one can get a long way by triangulating between those basic
textures/flavors.

Wikipedia indicates that they are eaten as a delicacy in Kenya where they
are a pest. They are also eaten in Southeast Asia.
