Coot-the nastiest, oiliest duck you'll ever see
Mullet-nasty bottom feeders
Antelope-chicken fried and tasty
Frog legs-good, a lot like chicken wings
Turtle-don't remember but I've head regular, whatever that is, and turtle soup
Wild boar-so good BBQed or just grilled

Bison-don't remember
Kangaroo-if you believe those rumors about Jack-n-the-box in the early 80's
Wild Turkey-smoked and baked
Owl-don't remember
Pheasant
Armadillo-yes, killed by running it over, tastes like chicken in case you wondered
Home grown duck, rabbit, chicken and homegrown duck eggs

My family used to hunt a lot when I lived in Florida.  When I was really young, my father worked construction and got laid off frequently.  He was a bit of a fuck up for several years.  He and his friends would literally hunt our food because it was cheaper to buy bullets than to buy meat.  He had one friend who killed a wild boar with his bare hand.  He smashed it's skull with his fist because he'd dropped his knife and the boar was huge and pissed off.  He broke his hand in the process but that boar was very tasty.  The same guy once caught a 12 foot lemon shark and dumped it in our front yard and they cleaned and carved in right on the lawn.  That section of the yard stunk up the whole neighborhood for months!!

Squid Stew....  ...disgusting

[ReBurn]

When I was a kid the Filipino lady next door always tried to get me to eat squid stew.  The squid was funny-looking.

On Iron Chef a couple of weeks ago Iron Chef Chen Kenichi made fried rice out of octopus ink.  It was black and stained the judges' teeth.

Rice out of octopus ink?  That's like food alchemy!

Wonder if he could make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

(I have no idea where that saying came from or what it means)

ate fried "eel" once.....before i knew it was eel.....yuk

[Gamplayerx]

ate fried "eel" once.....before i knew it was eel.....yuk

Did it taste like chicken?  Was it the entire eel?  Or just like eel nuggets?  Were there dipping sauces?

What goes well with eel?

[grace]

nugget eel bites.... battered ... gross... nothing would go well with eel

[ReBurn]

I've never tried eel.  I would probably eat it if I didn't know what it was.

[Gamplayerx]

I wonder if they make eel jerky.  Is eel salty?

[grace]

bland and rubber-like... chewy... couldn't get past the texture....

[Gamplayerx]

Perhaps eel jerky isn't as much of a dream as I thought.  http://www.marshmallowspikers.net/index.php/weblog/moblog_entry_moblog3/

A friend had cow tongue one night and I managed to swallow a bite. The taste wasn't bad but the texture was of soft Vienna Sausages and made me retch a little in the back of my throat. Meat should not be that soft.

[Gamplayerx]

Vienna sausages are an affront to nature.

[grace]

lived in appalachia... for a few years.... my first trip to the only grocery store there "piggly wiggly" and .... there in the meat counter was "pig ears".....WTF...do ya do with pig ears????
