Peoples Attitudes, Depression, Roadkill Recipes and Other Thoughts

HOOOOOOO RAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! Now we're talkin'.

I don't have a recipe for squirrel, but you can't tell the difference between one of them or a Rat when they're skinned out....and Rat can be mighty tasty.

Monkey isn't too bad either, but you have to boil it 1st. Roasted monkey is like piano wire unless it's tenderized.

If your real hungry grub worms and lizards will help fill the empty spot.

squirrel recipe

Hey Al,

We use to cook squirrel in the pressure cooker. (they're kind of tough). Flour, salt and pepper coating, a little water and some nice cooking wine. Can't remember how long in a pressure cooker, but it fell off the bone

Are ALL of you on Zoloft??? Were you born before grocery stores or what? I mean - I live in Ohio now, but I'm from Kentucky and never even had occasion to sample 'possum. They graze in my yard every night - or root or whatever they're doing - and eat the cat food I throw out for the skunks and 'coons and the wild cats, etc. Don't have an urge to cook and eat a 'coon or a 'possum, though.

This all sounds like a story from Survivor or 'Reality' TV..... How many of you really view the animals you're talking about as delicacies (sp)? How about skunk? I could have you all over for dinner cheap! I have access to lots of free 'game'....

I know a guy who went through some special forces survival training some years back and he said he ended up catching and eating baby Robins, grubs, beetles, worms, leaves - whatever he could find. He said it was a pretty long week. Lost a lot of weight. I guess sometimes it depends on how hungry you are, too. Sounds like Randy took the same course (or same kind of course) as my friend. The guy I'm talking about was an Air Force pilot.

I'm not too sure how long I'd last in Asia. And No - I haven't tried raw fish either. Rat? No thanks. I'll have to be pretty darn hungry.

Wow! What a thread! :thedeal: It's the longest single thread in all the forums. I wonder what that tells us about ourselves?

I guess it says: "All work and no play......"
Sounds like this thread is a great sress reliever.

I personally have eaten rabbit, squirrel, deer, dove, quail, and froglegs(caught them myself). Even had groundhog once.

keep on swingin

It's better not to ask...

Having spent some time overseas (Australia, Philipines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Bali, Fiji, etc.) I've found that sometimes it's best not to ask what you are eating. If it tastes good, just enjoy...

There are things that I've eaten that I certainly don't want to know what they were, especially in the Philipines. However, in Mexico, coming back from Rosarito Beach, there are these little taco stands on the corners that sell soft-shelled (corn tortilla) tacos for like a quarter... they cut the meat right off a spit and throw some salsa on it... Yummmmmm... Very tasty, especially after a long day of fishing....... for the worm at the bottom of a bottle of mescal. (sorry Energy... just had to throw that tease out there). I DON'T wanna know what's on the spit...

Great thread!!!!

Good Morning!

Marc, I don't eat most of the stuff we tease our PETA pal about...a lot of wild game just isn't worth the work you put into it. But, hey, I've got a neighbor that keeps the black snake population under control by eatin' 'em. Says their really good if you catch 'em when they're wrist size or bigger. Who am I to argue? I just don't accept dinner invites around here, or if I do I don't ask any questions. You're pretty safe if you stick to the collards.

This thread is lots of fun, and I kinda feel like we are learning a little something about the personalities of our colleagues (sp?) while we are at it. A persons sense of humour tells a lot....and its telling me that we are all about a half bubble off plumb.

So, tell me guys, we've got these little animals down here called nutria......

Oh no!!! I saw a television show (Anmial Planet, TLC??) on these critters and some Cajun chef cooking them... Now, I'm pretty adventurous, but eating a giant rat... that's a bit too much... They are supposed to be nutritious & delicious. Do you supposed it tastes like chicken or rat?

What a fun thought....

 

[SteelMaiden]

Well, my Grandfather always did the "just like chicken" thing...but I never believed him, I guess I've always been a little on the cynical side.

So people really do eat 'em, huh? I'm still the Yank in Dixieland, so I quite often put my foot in it. It took me six months to figure out what y'antew meant (you want to go to the _____ with me?) or how about "I'll carry you there" I don't think so, unless you want a trip to the e-room to take care of the hernia. (translates, I'll give you a ride in my car, pickup, whatever.)

Hey Marc, does the translator function translate southern redneck? Now that I can use!

To any of you good ol' boys out there, I tease my newfound friends mercilessly, but they know I think y'all are OK by me. You still eat some really strange stuff, but you are OK.
