As for their flavor, with how they're constantly irritated, I'd assume they'd taste like some sort of insect.
even the peccary-man.
Considering people make peccary sausages...
Now that I think about it that doesn't sound like it would taste good at all, unless you are a really good cook with some proper seasonings and spices.
Other than that, I'd have no clue on other things, like texture, taste/smell, etc. Anything chemistry or biologically related, which dictates much of the smell/taste and texture, is anyone's guess. It could range from having the barest amount of mercaptan (a smelly trace chemical put into natural gas lines) or some form of thiols, like thioacetates (that sulfurous skunk smell) or worse thioacetone (the absolute worse smelling chemical known to science) to sour the thing, to somehow having the best balance of amino acids and nuceotides to trigger the best savory (aka umami) taste known to human kind; or both or any points in between!
That said, if Dr. Manse's log about the Carbuncle (depositing a not unpleasant odor on things it latches onto) carries over to other Anteverse II creatures, then there is a chance that all meat from that type of life form likely tastes alright. But the details would still be a mystery until we get more info.
Veal.
First: They are birdlike in their anatomy. Their faces are beaked, in a sense, their meat is smooth, pale, and only barely fibrous on the surface, and they seem fairly pallateable fried or boiled. There are darker cuts of more fibrous "dark meat" but they are buried deeper into the anatomy, such as the Pest Rump. From what we know, the only native "food" in their homeworlds are Anteverse Wheat, suggesting a grain fed diet, and due to the nature of energy to them, they might not need much of their own grain at all to survive. This further suggests a chicken or turkey like consistency or flavor, assuming Anteverse Wheat taste like oat or corn grain.
Second: They have yellow-green blood, suggesting Hemolymph (insect blood) or Hemocyanin (copper blood) instead of Hemoglobin (iron blood) .
So. Their meat is pretty easy to explain, from diet and anatomy. Let's break down the blood.
This is, actually, very strange, as Exxor have fully developed hearts and are land based creatures, implying that the blood they pump either does not absorb gaseous oxygen, or is not blood at all. Their environment IS oxygen rich, their plant life is massive and we can breathe just fine in The Far Gardens, so whatever their blood is, it is binding to oxygen in some way, unless it is binding to something harmless to humans yet vital to their survival, something that is ALSO present in our world as is. Co2, possibly, once again referring to the massive plant life, and how readily their bodies take on plant and fungal symbiotes. There is the possbility that they do, actually, have Hemocyanin, but their blood is bright yellow-green, suggesting a different form of plasma, a mammalian form of plasma high in biles, or a high sulfur content on top of the green tinge of oxidized copper. I highly doubt that there is a high content of sulfer, or humans would not be able to readily eat them. If the Exxor have lungs to bind gaseous oxygen, it is Hemocyanin suspended in something questionable, and if they do not have lungs, their blood absorbs oxygen in the same way bugs do: constantly, and through physical contact. This would suggest that some part of their bodies is constantly bleeding and absorbing. Myriad open wounds and the compatibility with symbiotes would imply that their left arm is possibly the Hemolymph pool involved in their "breathing."
Optimistically, we can say that the Exxor have Copper Blood, Blood Cells to transport oxygen through it somehow, and a VERY high content of Biliverdin, a bile that breaks down into Bilirubin. Biliverdin is the result of the breakdown of the Heme moiety of blood cells, erythrocytes, and is green-tinged, while the Bilirubin it breaks down into is deeply yellow tinged. This is responsible for the yellow-green-purple hue of bruises: Your blood vessels are ruptured, and the cells within have been ruptured and are disintegrating into your blood stream while the tissue heals. This also occurs naturally every 100 days as blood cells are recycled by the immune system, intentionally done to prevent blood cancer mutations and to introduce bile into the blood stream as an environmental antiseptic to certain free radicals. Jaundice is the main sign that your body is not filtering this bile out of your blood, as well, and biles naturally increase the acidity of blood and can become toxic if not balanced.
Now for some other details sourced through studies linked on Wikipedia: Biliverdin is also important in the development of Avian egg shells, and specifically, blue and green shelled eggs, as well as a shocking number of mammalian and aquatic life directly for their green hue. The placenta of dogs unusually high in Biliverdin can cause puppies to be born with green fur, if only temporarily. Many marine and amphibious lifeforms have high Biliverdin content in their own flesh, serum, eggs, and blood, but-
- and now to provide dueling examples of the meat:
Here on earth, there are two things that have both green blood and green meat.
Insects and a SINGLE Genus of skink. The Prasinohaema. Literally, green blood. Native to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. These lizards have green blood, green flesh, green skin under their scales and live in an unusual and biodiverse location, not unlike the Exxor.
So: I posit that the Exxor geneology are either
A: Savory, but rubbery. between chicken and lizard meat, with blood extremely high in green bile content that would taste acidic, but not unpalatable. This is optimistic, but not unrealistic considering visually, nutritionally, and evolution-wise how the Exxor appear on the surface. There are a myriad of other possiblities, but this seems to be the most likely, if the "dark meat" of Exxor Chicken is to be believed, though this would not have any implication to the energy density of the Anteverse II quantum physics or the Exxor's ability to teleport being directly tied to the hearts in some way, implying something anomalous with the blood.
Thus:
B: Sour, gamey, and possibly gritty, but incredibly nutrient rich and high in protein. Maybe TOO nutritious, as if the energy density is to be believed, a single pest would keep a human's caloric needs filled for an obscenely long time. Eating one would probably kill you, or just make you immediately vomit and ♥♥♥♥ yourself. Your body would not be able to digest the sheer caloric intake of something this alien without metaphorically or literally bursting into flames. Assuming you CAN and the starvation of these aliens has made them edible, their meat would be only purely nutritious, and the absolute lowest echelons of culinary delight. The insect correlation would mean that Exxor meat is unfortunately a long-term allergenic toxin due to humanity's innate allergy to chitin specifically evolved from maladjustment to the eating of bugs, an allergy that like Lactose Intolerance is normal and will develop severely if not regularly defied with regular dietary additions of shellfish.
I would LIKE to believe it's option A, Chicken-Lizard meat, but there's an equal chance it's B due to the life cycle, environment, evolution, and a great deal of factors we simply do not know.
For all I know, they taste exactly like ostriches or something.
