Liver is quite common in the USA, both in restaurants and in grocery stores.

Horse is a common baby food in Italy - soled in jars at most supermarkets (as is donkey and sheep).

The problem with eating whale (as opposed to dogs or iguanas) is that whale populations take very long to restock - as whales only have one calf every few years or so and grow very old (some upto 100 years). Lastly, pregnant females are preferred for eating because they carry a lot of blubber.
