The now extinct Dodo mustve have been delicious.
Although, I think their lack of speed was their downfall.
I heard a fellow geologist describe a plaice once -

A marvel of evolution, over millions of years its entire body twisted sideways so it can lie flat against the sea bed , its head twisted so both eyes are on the side of its body to look upwards. Camouflage to blend in with a sandy bottom.

How was evolution to know it was going to end up the perfect size and shape to fit into a frying pan. lol
 


Stormy Petrel for me.
What about cormorant? Reminded me of this recipe i read once;

Having shot your cormorant, hold it well away from you as you carry it home; these birds are exceedingly verminous and the lice are said to be not entirely host-specific. Hang up by the feet with a piece of wire, soak in petrol and set on fire. This treatment both removes most of the feathers and kills the lice. When the smoke has cleared away, take the cormorant down and cut off the beak. Send this to the local Conservancy Board who, if you are in the right area, will give you 3/6d or sometimes 5/- for it. Bury the carcase, preferably in a light sandy soil, and leave it there for a fortnight. This is said to improve the flavour by removing, in part at least, the taste of rotting fish. Dig up and skin and draw the bird. Place in a strong salt and water solution and soak for 48 hours. Remove, dry, stuff with whole, unpeeled onions: the onion skins are supposed to bleach the meat to a small extent, so that it is very dark brown instead of being entirely black. Simmer gently in seawater, to which two tablespoons of chloride of lime have been added, for six hours. This has a further tenderising effect. Take out of the water and allow to dry, meanwhile mixing up a stiff paste of methylated spirit and curry powder. Spread this mixture liberally over the breast of the bird. Finally roast in a very hot oven for three hours. The result is unbelievable. Throw it in the bin. Not even a starving vulture would eat it.
 
Thought I'd accidentally gone on Just Eat for a minute!

I voted pig, but it really depends.

Pig -> Bacon yay, dry ass pork chop nay
Cattle -> Burger or hot dog yay, overcooked sunday lunch nay
Chicken -> KFC or curry yay, dry ass chicken breast nay
Sheep -> Tender roasted leg yay, bony gristly shoulder nay

Ye get the idea. Rabbit isn't half bad. I've probably had horse or bat at some point without knowing it.
