Ground hog recipe?

[TNGhost]

Hog, dog or frog, meat's meat!

I'd eat groundhog long before I'd eat coyote.

Nearly anything warm blooded was potential table meat at my grandparents' farm. Ground hog included. I believe they par boiled it and then breaded and fried. Seems like a lot of foods were fried back then. Cast iron skillets. Lard. Wood fired kitchen range.

What doesn't taste good coated with a seasoned flour/cornmeal mix and fried in lard? Even cardboard becomes edible like that.

Do you mean there is another way than fried, to cook meat?

Used to eat it all the time. Young ones are best. Par boil then roll in flour,and fry like squirrel, or rabbit. Sometimes that's all the meat we had.

That' exactly the way my Granny taught me to fix them. Just as good as any rabbit, squirrel or chicken recipe you'll ever find.

Just be sure to use a young one & remove those glands scattered around under the skin.

Here's a page out of a book entitled Southern Appalachian Mountain Cookin', compiled by Louis and Bil Dwyer in 1974. Note this page has a recipe for Country Style Groundhog.
