Good eating
Who?
I’ll eat Squirrel Dumplings, but they HAVE to be smothered in Possum Gravy with Poke Salad on the side. ;)
I’ve been to MANY game feeds - probably the two most ‘exotic’ things I’ve tried were Antelope and Bobcat.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, passes up my crock pot of ‘Coon and Kraut’ or my Bear Sloppy Joes. ;)
Gopher?
Only thing I had a problem with was the lynx. Tasted fine, but I was forever picking hairs out of my mouth.
Boys are different animals.
Poor squirrell. Crazy kid. Squirrell dumplings indeed.
Oh, uh huh, so mama isn’t THAT country and it wasn’t meant as an insult. Yes, it was.
The principal should have had the kid take the squirrel to the science teacher to do a dissection. Make the situation useful. Or is the science teacher’s only lesson plans on the dozens of genders?
Hasn’t everybody done that at least once?...................
I’ll eat anything that doesn’t eat me first..............
Isn’t there a nasty disease from eating squirrel(squirrel brains that is). I guess that if you stick to the meat, you should be okay.
Texas Parks and Wildlife put out a memo many years ago about the dangers of leaving the heads on tree-rats while cooking them. It can bring on dementia.
I know there is some kind of zombie disease from eating deer meat.
Obviously a p*ss-poor job of skinning that cat, LOL!
To me, it (Bobcat) had the texture of pork, but a flavor I’d never had. It was mild. Kind of nondescript.
Our usual weekly menu is basically:
Bear
Elk
Beef
Chicken
Pork
Fish
Repeat. He’s a meat, potatoes & veggie guy. Some nights I just feed him and have a salad. I can only take so much!
I FINALLY found a way to use up the wild hog he got in TX a few years back; it needs to be marinated overnight in a salt and sugar rub, then it can be braised with apples and cider and it’s FINALLY edible and not tough. Of course, we’re out of it now because once I found that way to cook it, it was really delicious!
Also an Instant Pot (pressure cooking) is fabulous for tough cuts of wild game. I did up some freezer-burned bear from 2015 for the dogs. They went nuts for it.
He’s bear hunting now, but doesn’t have a tag (thank goodness) but next up is Elk in CO. I like Elk; it’s great on the grill. :)
There’s a reason we’re at the TOP of the Food Chain! :)
Realized my son is truly Southern when he was biking around the neighborhood with a live & large crayfish in his pocket.
