I've never eaten a cat, a dog, and I was only able to look at the raccoon when it was on my plate. I couldn't bring myself to do it. 'Specially when I saw it was missing an arm.

You need help, old man. :lol:

Yes I do.

I am completely bored.

I tried to debate the true owners of Palestine but no one will challenge me when I posted the TRUE owners are the Neanderthals.
 
While I have no qualms with those killing it...

I'll give it to Dianna. The one in the picture was kind of cute.

Now possums. Now there are some vile looking things.

Are you 100% sure you've never eaten dog or cat? Are you positive about the kind of meat you are eating when you go out to restaurants? They have been known to do tricky things, probably especially now with cutting costs to save money.

As far as meat, I'll try anything once. Never had racoon but I would probably try it, as long as it's cooked right. One of my favorite meats is goat and just look at how cute they are

Maybe it's so good tasting because it's so good looking :lol:
 
That's why we, you know, feed our cats in the house. You never leave food outside in a wild area... or any area, for that matter... or you'll have skunks, coyotes, racoons, even mountain lions sitting outside your back door. You don't tease 'em in with food, then shoot the poor things. Oyyyyy!
:(

Except this was an outdoor ranch cat see. They moved to the main house and the cat refused to leave the ranch house where we were staying. poor thing was starving.

City folk really need to spend a year living out where the wild things are just that, WILD. You need to go to foreign countries.

Let me tell you one of my favorite sea stories, it's a real story and here is what happened:

We pulled into Pusan S. Korea for a few days, so we all went out and did our thing. Everyone wanted fast food, I forgo McD's and other American joints (cept france, I just HAD to order a Big Mac and a beer ) and eat local fare. There were some old ladies with tents and little gas hibachi's selling what looked like hambugers. Cost me 2 bucks and I even got a coke with it. Of course, she fried an egg and put a cucumber on it but hey! When in Rome...

So I bit into it and was aware IMMEDIATELY that this was NOT in fact, beef. Ate it anyway, good eats, didn't get sick. One of the gals was disgusted, worried about the "beef" out of her cooler she had gotten to cook my burger. When I pointed out that it was not beef she didn't believe me. So I dragged her into a grocery store and showed her the price of beef where we were. 8 bucks a pound. There was NO WAY my big fat burger was beef for 2 bucks.

One of the local ladies there spoke english and over heard us, she said "Most of them, they sell rat or dog meat, that's what you ate" I just smiled and she had to run out and retch. Hilarity.

They are seriously adorable. Seriously. Adorable.

LOL, no kidding! When my son was about 14, he came flying into the house from the backyard, white as snow and dripping with sweat, screaming that a rat as big as a dog was sitting on our blockwall fence.

Yes. It was a possum. Sweet little thing. Ugly, but sweet. I just petted her butt and convinced her to leave the fence on the side that wasn't our property. She looked a bit dejected, but finally wobbled around and hopped off.

A two-foot rat indeed. My son never lived it down. I wouldn't let him. :mrgreen:
 
Clearly you,ve never eaten guniea pig. I tried once in Peru and it was literally one of the nicest things ive tasted.

*eyes closed, fingers in ears*

lalalalalalalalala, I can't hear you!

I think that would only work if you stuck your fingers in your eyes since you're reading this. ;)

Pretty damned sure. We don't eat out that often, and when we don't go to "unique food stands" with strange smells emanating from the kitchen and animal traps in the alley out back. ;)

No, no, no goats for me. I found a baby pygmy goat in our pasture once, all shivering and cold with its umbilical still attached. I cuddled it in towels and warmed it with my body. It snuggled its head in my armpit, sighed and went to sleep. I fell in love with that sweet thing... was crushed when we finally found the ranch it had wandered away from and reunited her with her mama.

I don't eat cute things. In fact, I won't eat anything that I have personally met, which is why my husband's gung-ho desire to raise our own pigs, beef, and poultry was doomed to failure. Once I looked into their little eyes, I named them and that was that.

I want my meat the way God intended... neatly sliced and wrapped in cellophane. So there.

I closed my eyes. Pay attention.

Well, I don't exactly live on a savannah, but I do live in a place where wild animals abound... as in sleep under our deck, wander up our driveway, mate under our dining room windows, and lurk behind rocks ready to inject venom into our flesh!

I appreciate the problem of feral cats. We try to feed as many as we can because we love cats so much, but we just won't leave the food out there overnight. I'm serious when I said mountain lions... we've got 'em here, and when you see one of those massive pawprints in the mud outside your garage door, you really don't want an introduction to the creature that owns the paw.

Awww, poor lady. The only difference is that I probably wouldn't have eaten anything that was unrecognizable to me, especially in a foreign country. Which probably means becoming vegan for the duration of the trip! :lol:
 
I'd be willing to give it a shot. I need some more animals to add to my list of odd eats:

Alligator - Phenomenal
Octopus - Good, if cooked properly
Ostrich - Horrendous
Eel - Fantastic
Rattlesnake - Great
Shark - Decent
Duck - Awesome
Antelope - Fantastic

Eel and shark are two of my favorites. A good piece of shark is like eating a white steak.

And I love moose and deer. They are my absolute all time favorites.

These things are not cute; therefore, they are legitimately edible. (Except for duck... ducks are cute, especially the ones that frolick in our pond.) I would try everything on that list except duck.

Most of those aren't that odd to me. I consider Snake, Antelope and Eel to be the actual "odd" ones. Alligator, Ostrich, and Shark are borderline "odd", IMO, so they qualify, but barely. And Duck and Octopus are fairly common, depending on the type of restaurant you go to so I wouldn't even say they qualify. I get Duck at Chinese and German restaurants all the time and Octopus is very, very common with Italians.

My list of odd meats I've eaten:

Horse: Just plain nasty
Turtle: Delicious
Rattlesnake: Too Chewy for my tastes
Alligator: Very nice when fresh
Swamprat: Tasty as hell, my favorite of the odd meats I've eaten.
Ostrich: I love it
Shark: Not really my thing, but it was OK.
Buffalo: OK, this one is very borderline, tastes a lot like beef. I like it.
Wild Boar: Again, very borderline, but also vary tasty.


I've also pretty much eaten most of the more common, but slightly odd meats such as Duck, Vennison, Quail, Phesant, Swordfish, etc.

Note: I typically avoid all things from the sea though, due to an extremely bad shellfish allergy, and I don't EVER want to deal with it again, so I don't risk anything from the sea since they are often prepared on the same grills, fryers and such as the shellfish is.

For both shark and swordfish I prepared them myself.
