I learned long ago to always cook my marmot kidneys.
I like ‘em best with a nice Béarnaise sauce.

Marmot meat in Mongolia. Euphonious, but poisonous.

Ground hogs have moved into our area now quite a bit south of their former limits. Allegedly they had not moved here because the summers are too hot for them. Guess they have adapted in the last 40 years. I thought that was impossible and that all aminals would die of glubull warming. Wait, maybe it is actually getting cooler and the data is all made up or adulterated. Naw, that could never be.

Before I went to Mongolia in 2016, I had a physical and had to receive some vaccines. The physician literally told me not to eat or approach marmots.
I am surprised that this happened, although less surprised, given that it is an ethnic minority involved. The Mongolians I encountered ate everything well-cooked. They drink milk only if it is boiled in tea, or fermented and dried. I told my guide about the popular American snack of jerky, which is essentially raw dried meat, and she seemed disgusted by the idea of eating raw meat, even dried. While there, I ate goat, sheep, cow, and camelall well cooked.

A Mongolian couple has died of the bubonic plague after eating raw marmot kidney,
WTH???? Aren't they the inventors of the Mongolian Bar-b-q restaurants that are springing up all over this country?

No it's not, God gave us fire to keep us warm. He obviously made a mistake when He gave us marmots and beets.

I blame the guidebook. I was trying to ask the way to the nearest McDonald’s but apparently the phrase actually translated to “I’ll have a heaping portion of raw marmot guts, please!” It turns out that Mongolia is the only Asian country not to have a McDonald’s. But, you know, they do have raw marmot guts, so there’s that.

Authorities have warned people against eating raw marmot meat An understandable precaution ...
