The other dark meat: Raccoon is making it to the table

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 01/13/2009 | The other dark meat: Raccoon is making it to the table


He rolls into the parking lot of Leon's Thriftway in an old, maroon Impala with a trunk full of frozen meat. Raccoon — the other dark meat.

In five minutes, Montrose, Mo., trapper Larry Brownsberger is sold out in the lot at 39th Street and Kensington Avenue. Word has gotten around about how clean his frozen raccoon carcasses are. How nicely they’re tucked up in their brown butcher paper. How they almost look like a trussed turkey … or something.

His loyal customers beam as they leave, thinking about the meal they'll soon be eating.

That is, as soon as the meat is thawed. Then brined. Soaked overnight. Parboiled for two hours. Slow-roasted or smoked or barbecued to perfection.

Raccoon, which made the first edition of The Joy of Cooking in 1931, is labor-intensive but well worth the time, aficionados say.

"Good things come to those who wait," says A. Reed, 86, who has been eating raccoon since she was a girl.

No, not stripped kittens (in light of the PETA move to call fish sea kittens, I'm referring to everything as kittens).

But really...that's kinda gross. Yet another reason to steer clear of MO.

Have you ever eaten 'Coon? Hmmm? It's good eats mon.
 
Whatever's clever. I prefer a nice Elk about twice the size of me.

Lasts alot longer :lol:

P.S. to clarify for Ikari, I like antlered kitten. But sometimes I Can only get "spike" kittens.

I must say I truly feel for the PETA members wives if their husbands are so opposed to eating kittens . . .

:mrgreen:
 
In my youth I did a LOT of coon trapping and selling hides. After I'd skin 'em out, I would go over to the quarters (term used for the African-American part of town) and sell the meat for 2-3 bucks a pop.

I was an ace at skinnin' coons. When I got through, there wasn't anything left on the meat but eyelids and assholes. :rofl
 
I have had raccoon once and just could not get past the fact that I was eating a rodent. It was the same way when I had rattlesnake...just couldn't get past it and I am pretty adventurous with what I will eat.

I had it once. Tough and Gamey... But leave it to the hillybillies from MO to make a market out of it. :mrgreen:

I didnt mind rattlesnake... but for some reason I can NOT stomach rabbit.
 
I took a bite of BBQ'd coon. Kinda greasy. Didn't like the texture or the taste.

Squirrels and rabbits are rodents too. But they are gooooood. :)

Why...why must this thread be filled with so much potential for puns and innuendo

Taken this summer on my front veranda. Apparently, raccoons love cat food and are not terribly shy. This one is the baby... momma was twice as big.
 
OMG, that's nasty. Have any of you actually met a racoon? They are adorable, inquisitive, affectionate creatures with hairless, agile fingers and a curiosity about everything. I could never kill one, let alone eat it.

*gag*

WTF? Racoons are angry, vile ****ing rodents that attack without the slightest provocation. They should be shot on sight, though not necessarily eaten.

When we moved out here to the ranch, some coons were eating the cats food, so I tried everything scare em off.

Then I had no choice, but to shoot em.

Felt bad but they were stupid stubborn and tore stuff up.

Nope. I'm not going to starve in a week. The only way I'd ever kill a raccoon was if it were either rabid, or attacking one of my pets. The wild raccoons out here are docile and shy... unless they get caught in a cage-trap you've been using for that feral cat that keeps terrorizing your own sweetum kitties. Then they get a bit testy.

My sister had a pet racoon. Dang, it was the cutest, sweetest, most fun-loving little creature. It would hold your face between its little hands and kiss you right on the mouth! No tongue, mind you... it was quite polite. ;)

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!
:(

Hon, with my lungs I'd have to rest twice just humping it from the car to the front porch. I used to be an avid bush baby, but no more. Anyway, I'd rather dig for grubs than kill a cute little racoon.

You don't have to kill them yourself. Just find a stump with a hole in it and drop a shiny nickel down the hole. Then nail you three horseshoe nails so the sharp ends go come out down in the hole. Leave it overnight and when you come back in the morning you will find you a dead coon gripping the nickel tight and unable to pull his fist back out.

Or worst case scenario you find his arm hanging out of the hole and follow the blood trail to where he bled out.
