Weirdest Animal You Ate

[Crossfire]

After the possum discussion, this should be interesting: what is the weirdest animal you've ever eaten (especially if you killed it yourself). I'm probably pretty tame as I've never eaten possum or raccoon; but I have eaten snake (black & rattle), eel, crawdads (mmm), goat and turtle.

:barf:

Iguana when I was in Yucatan. Octopus and sea urchin also, but that's not all that unusual.

I lived in Hespeler a few years back and had a friend that lived in new dundee , his folks had a emu farm, For a summer I ate a fair amount of emu eggs....Big green dinosaur looking things.

Ok had a moment to think it over again, I do recall I had a crazy uncle in a city outside of Elliot Lake called sprague "lived there as a young kid" and he fed my dad and I some sea gull eggs, my mother almost threw up I recall,
she then refused to ever visit crazy old uncle Jerry ever again, Made quite the fuss over it I recall.

Helloa couple of years back i was on holidays in New Zealand at a place called Hokitika and low and behold the Hokitika wild food festival was on the fare was earth worm burgers these had been cleaned out with a diet of corn meal, possum tartare no way i'd eat a possum something that stinks that bad skinning aint for eating, these huge grubs - white like a witchity grub these are good food and giant forest cock roaches like a poker card big oh and the biggest maggots I have ever seen and the festival is absolutely sold out with the town bursting at the seams, the postal department prints a set of stamps as :shocked2: mementos . :shocked2: :haha:

 

[trent/OH]

Possum, raccoon, porcupine, snapping turtle eggs, big snails from a local lake, sheephead (the fish),grasshoppers, but the one that really weirds people out is cicadas. Raw.

 

[Jumpshot]

Crow, in the General Muzzleloading section. :grin:

 

[Many Klatch]

Raw conch, with a little lemon juice. Not all that bad once you get past the squinchy part. It's better with a lot of Red Stripe beers though.

TURDUCKEN.

 

[Wefarmasmidgen]

Ohhh, wasn't that turducken good though? We really enjoyed it.

 

[Mountainman56]

Rattlesnake, porcupine(it does NOT taste like pork) and cougar. Had the cougar at a wild meat dinner in Alberta 10 or 12 years ago and it was absolutely delicious. It was also the first meat to disappear off the table........kinda makes you think about stray cats in a whole different way. :hmm:

 

[ricklandes]

I think the strangest was probably BBQ beaver. The tail we did not eats it is a bit tallowy and kinda makes your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth :wink:

I have had lion, wild boar, bison, red, black, fox and grey squirrel, racoon saddles , octopus, squid, antelope, elk, mule, axis, coos and whitetail deer, carp and about every other fish I could catch, snapping turtle (soup, fried and honey glazed), frog legs, fryed fresh fish eggs, impala, snails, wild clam, crawfish, and hot dog(s)! :grin:

Crossfire,
I think I have eaten at one time or another
just about everything,but opposum.Muskrat,coon,
frogs,snake,and at one time in a galaxy far,far
away some bugs I didn't even know the names of.
For some reason I have never eaten lamb either,but it is something I would like to try.
I also have never eaten dog or cat as far as
I know.But there are eating places where I may
have and not known it... :hmm: Ever eat at one
of those spots.Every city has them.
snake-eyes :hmm:

 

[Gemoke]

I guess that would be the bob cat. ate it at a wild game feed.

 

[Blizzard of '93]

gator, opossum and rattlersnake, none of which are my meal of preference. but you can live on it. :shocked2:

 

[George Holton]

Well lets see; porkkupine tasted like resin , cat was ok, coyote wasnt bad ,never a possum,anything that runs out of the hind end of a dead cow is a big NONO.Coon was greasy. rocky mountain oysters were chewy, Buffalo good. :surrender:

 

[david50]

boiled dog,if you ever get a chance to try it take my advice and...DONT

 

[JWP]

I had an old timer tell me that he ate skunk :shocked2: He said you have to cook it a long time because it has worms through out the meat. I've never been that hungry and honestly don't know if I could do it. Don't get me wrong, limburg cheese is stinky but skunk :barf:
Anyone out there ever done this or know anyone who has ?

 

[Bearbait2]

Bat.

 

[J.D.]

To be honest, I don't know. Everyone contributes to the pot when we are in a primitive camp, and knowing the crowd I run with, its better I don't know what is going into the pot.

What you don't know won't hurt you, right? :hmm:

 

[Jumpshot]

Bat.

Now that's weird. I didn't know there was enough meat on 'em to eat.
