I don't want to eat anything that tastes like chicken, other than chicken.

I knew a guy who wouldn't touch chicken. I'll clean up it up a bit, but he said an animal that would fight it's father, mate with it's mother and then eat it's own poop would never pass his lips. I pondered that for just a minute or two before I bit into my drum stick; after all it tastes just like chicken.

LOL. If it tastes like chicken, just give me chicken.

And this is why I will more than likely never visit any of these countries. I'm a huge dog lover and spend the majority of my free time rescuing them. Now I know that different countries do eat dog, and while I disagree with that, I am in no place to judge them.

However, if I were over there and someone fed me dog and didn't tell me until after I ate it, I may end up in a Chinese / Vietnamese / Korean prison... for murder. I've risked my life saving dogs from abusive situations, dog fighting rings, etc... they are not, nor will they ever be a choice on my menu, no matter how hungry I am.

Closes thing to coyote i ever ate was one of my work buds tamales he took to work one day.

The whole thing taste like what the bird left on the tree.

I was in China for about a week, and was a vegetarian while I was there.

When I think back over the years to all the flea bitten, tick infested coyotes I have shot on the ranch, I believe I will have to pass. I'll just leave the dirty work to our resident buzzards!!

My dad was born in a dugout on the Chisolm trail in 1901 . Only the Good Lord only knows what they ate to stay alive. He taught me to hunt and trap . There wasn't much that wasn't edible in his eyes . Possum is too greasy , need to trim all the fat you can and slow boil it for 45 min. or so to render out more fat . Bake it in a covered pan , salt and pepper, pour off the fat , sweet potatoes optional .
Coon , much the same but remove the scent glands under the front legs and the tail end , you will be sorry if you don't . If you boil it and pour the water off replace the water , boil it about an hour and add dumplings , lot of black pepper ...Not bad , goes well with cornbread .

You can eat all birds except ones that eat dead meat . Blackbirds are good , salt and pepper , roll in flour , pan fry . Same for starling , crow , meadow larks , killdeers are good but not much meat .Mud hens are pretty good , filet the breast , use a frying pan , no flour , small amount of bacon grease , chop a couple clove of garlic and add, slow fry till done then add a half cup of water and put the lid on , steam till tender .

All snakes are edible but stay away from water snakes , they stink and taste awful . Rattlesnake is best with the most meat followed by bull snake and coach whips . Small snakes are not worth messing with ..no meat .

We ate a ton of armadillo , slow grilled is best . rub a little oil on em before grilling to keep the moisture in . The other white meat .

You can survive with a good bb gun off birds in your backyard ....if your hungry .

I worked on a packing house killfloor killing cattle , believe me .... you have already eaten much worse that anything I mentioned .

Bon appetite !

Oh yummy

I think I'm the only person to spend 10 days in China and not lose one pound. I didn't ask what was in front of me, I just ate. Most of it was pretty good and real spicy. Hardest part for me was eating a fish with the head on it. Not because it still had a head but because we used bigger fish for bait. I think we ate at some of the finer restaurants but that doesn't mean I haven't eaten dog. I just don't know for a fact if I haven't.

plus they will eat anything to stay alive. One I shot had a dying pooh that consisted of grasshoppers. Don't forget the ones with mange.

Pig Renter wrote:I've always felt that as humans, especially Americans, what we consider to be suitable meat or not is hugely psychological. I agree to a degree that "meat is meat". For instance, a horse is a beautiful animal. We have an emotional attachment to them. They are great tools, "pets", graceful. But for most of us, even thinking of butchering one and eating it sounds barbaric. Yet, emotions aside, genetically a horse, if it were any other animal, would seem to qualify as an excellent meat animal. So why do we cringe when we hear of other cultures who eat horse?

I agree with you. I tried (and enjoyed) horse when I was in Sweden. It was quite tasty. I remember that I used to have an aversion to sushi/sushimi when I was younger...I got over that really quick with a few beers, wasabi and ginger....now, I cannot get enough of it!

My parents went to China back in '79/'80 - before it was "open" so to speak. They remind me of the fish that was fresh caught in front of them, quickly boiled alive in oil (up to its gills anyway) and then put on a platter before them....they dined on it while it was still moving/breathing....they said it was delicious....then, when all that was left was just the skeleton it gave one last/final kick - as if to say "I'm done" (just the nerve impulses but quite interesting!). They also had a banquet in the Great Hall of the People with many government officials...it was quite an adventure. The most interesting part, to me, was when they were in the interior and the villagers had never seen Westerners before....they beat on the bus and shouted something in their native tongue (translated to "Go home white devils!"). Just smile and nod...and enjoy your thousand year old eggs and Peking duck (<---my Mom's favorite dish).
