Not true where I currently live. Plenty of taste. Plenty of differences. Dog has a distinctive taste, as does snake. You wouldn't really mix up the taste of mutton with anything else [while insipid 'lamb' can sometimes be muddled with 'beef', I suppose], nor would you confuse duck with chicken; free range chicken here is very different from the chicken served up in fast food franchises. Perhaps you have too much taste-equalizing industrialized food production where you live? I remember chicken from the supermarket in Japan was essentially tasteless.
