The one thing that doesn’t taste like chicken, apparently, is human. From an insane article in the October 24, 1885 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

Washington, D.C.–In the Diocesan Conference of Colored Methodist Episcopal Preachers, which is being held here, Professor A.E. Soloder, a distinguished and highly educated cannibal, upon being introduced, said:

‘I am a native of the Fiji Islands, gentlemen, and I have eaten human flesh many a time. I was born a cannibal and I was accustomed to eat missionaries. In my early days I lived principally on roasted missionaries and boiled rice; but I have been a missionary myself these thirty-five years.’

‘What does human flesh taste like?’ inquired the bishop.

‘Pretty much like a mule,’ explained the distinguished stranger. ‘You can hardly tell the difference,’ said he, ‘between young monkey and squirrel, and boa constrictor is very much like missionary.'”
