Whole raccoons in the frozen food section of a market

[Bigfoot]

I once drove up to a Taco Bell and said "I'd like a roadkill burrito, possum if you got it." It got lots lots of laughs that I heard over the speaker.

Heck if I was really hungry for coon or possum I could have just gone to a market. How would you like to see this in the freezer?

Dave Canturbury said in his YouTubez that he doesn't typically eat 'coon because of the parasites that inhabit their flesh. Never cared to see if that was a true statement or not, never been hungry enough to try racoon.

 

[Medic!]

If your hungry enough. You'll eat the parasites!

Just cook it well.

They might make good crab bait, but not at that price.

Tried using one for crab bait last year.

Dumb thing floated!

Price of beef is so high road kill may become popular. I question the way it has been handled as meat, I doubt inspectors have guaranteed it. Just keep watching as America turns into a t urd world nation.

 

[Medic!]

I can cook you a coon so tasty you will beg for more.

We may become a 3rd world country. But I will always be able to shoot, trap ,catch a prepare a first class meal.

In my line of work I'd make a FORTUNE!
Opossums, raccoons, squirrels, rats, mice, birds, chipmunks.. You name it..

But to be honest.. I wouldnt eat a single one.. Suburb and city varmints taste nasty due to what they eat around here compared to those you find out in the "wild".

Is that due to the tape worms you'd get afterwards

 

[Medic!]

Well? That's one way to keep your hunger for life!

I saw what rabbit was going for the other day and am now 95% sure I'm just going to start raising them and screw the super markets.

I'll just tell guests it's chicken

Did you remove it from the freezer bag?

I learned from The Sopranos (yeah that's it) that to get a 'mammal' to sink ya gotta stab it thru the lungs.

I pay less per pound for a NY steak and it's processed. Course this is LA. Also it's an.. um..international market.. so exotic food isn't so unexpected. They'll eat just about anything, those international types.

Porcupines are also Tasty...

The Rabbit "I'll just call it Checken"???? Hope your not serious:

Rabbit tastes like Rabbit
Rattle Snake tastes like Rattle Snake
Bear tastes like Bear
Nutria tastes like Nutria
Chicken... Well that tastes, Just like Chicken!!!!!

However, the Neck of Venison, with just Pintos, tastes like Heaven!!

philip

I've been hungry enough in more than one situation. When tryin to fill my belly, had nothing to do with tasting.

I'm talking ''So hungry you could eat the balls off a grizz''!

My neighbors feed those little furry rats all the time. I am sure with all the nuts and seed they eat they might actually taste ok. I swear they are filling the feeders once a day

Course that would really piz off a grizz, gotta assume he'd already dead. So why the balls first?

Almost afraid to ask.. Not sure I wanna know.
