bat meat
Bat meat
Bat meat is edible bat tissue of unspecified species, cut and processing, potentially encountered fresh, frozen, dried or cooked rather than as a uniform product.

About Bat meat
Bat meat is meat from bats, identified here at the broad animal-food category level. The name does not specify a bat species, cut, country or culinary tradition, or whether the meat is fresh, frozen, dried, or otherwise processed. It may be encountered as a prepared or cooked meat in some food contexts, but no particular preparation can be inferred from this label.
Its appearance, texture, and flavour depend on the species, cut, and handling, none of which are given. The term denotes animal tissue used as food rather than a uniform product with a fixed composition. Nutrition comparisons should match the particular species and edible portion as well as the raw or cooked and processed state.
