Growing up poor white trash I ate alot of various "creatures". My dads favorite line was "wheres your knife lets see what this sucker taste like". That being said I have ate robins (yes the birds, cooked in a pie after maw got senile she just clipped wings and legs and plucked left guts in it tasted pretty bad), opposum (trap live and feed light bread for a week to clean out), raccoon (shoot, skin and eat cooked like roast with potatoes and carrots and celery), ground hog (shoot, skin and bake with BBQ sauce), Snapping turtle (caught, usually crossing a road during the spring, placed in half of a 55 gallon drum with about 6" of water and fed table scraps and have the water changed daily until cleaned out usually 2 weeks but as long as you want if you have several turtles) kill by removing head or just tossing into huge boiling pot of water(maw had no compassion and said it was a quick death, old folks is hard) scrape skin off, cut around bottom of shell where the belly plate meets, take out the meat and bread and fry, chitlins (we just ran the water hose through them until clean and soaked in salt water) cut into 6" lengths and fry, carp ( the bony fish) gigged, gutted and ran through a sausage grinder and canned in qt jars(used just like any fish for patties) frogs, squirrels, rabbits, rattle snake, alligator, bear, shark, pig brains............ cant really think of anything else right now. I have a buddy that works at the pound that wants to eat a dog, I refused I cant eat a pet just for fun. Another buddy eats bull nuts and I also draw the line, the dog has to have something to eat LOL!!
