My experience has been the same. I no longer eat any mammals but back when I did I came across all kinds of meat I'd never had before while traveling the Pacific Rim. I tried them all, usually without knowing ahead of time what it was. Dog, cat, monkey, water buffalo, reindeer, etc. They all tasted just like slight variations of any other red meat, such as beef.

This will certainly catch flak, but I'll bet my lunch money for the next month that a human would taste pretty much the same. Regardless of what social attributes we attribute to one animal or another, once you look past that all of the mammalian species are just a bag of bones and muscles (meat).

It is also worth noting that the same revulsion and disbelief you feel towards people that eat dogs and cats is felt towards you by some other cultures and subcultures for your habit of eating cows.
