I agree, there are a lot of things that people won't eat due to their background and upbringing rather than taste...

Better than chicken. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

let's be honest, now. chicken is a great canvas, but its natural flavor is nothing to write home about.

would almost think he had a run in with mr. david brown. naw... when i think about he'd be in quite a few more pieces. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

HD, you will have to post a recipe for Brunswick Stew....we are plagued here with Grey squirrels....they are killing off our indigenous Reds very fast....and I am seriously thinking of amending my certificate for a .17HRM...they look to be a cracking little Varmint stopper!

Do you dunk the squirrels in a bucket before skinning them? By reputation don't they have a lot of fleas or ticks?

Since getting Lyme's disease off a couple of tick bites I am getting a little careful these days....I need to get back to full fittness ASAP and that is one disease which is a hard thing to shake.

Pete - I didn't know that you had Lyme's disease. I am very aware of just how dangerous it can be, having been to a Conservation department seminar and the lady Officer discussing her symptoms - it nearly killed her. With as many ticks and chiggers as we have around here, I always (OK, nearly) apply repellant before going in the woods and field.
I hope you're doing better Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

There's some good rabbit recipes out there too. Rabbit and gravy, about as good as liver and onions!

Lyme is some scary stuff, my cousin fought with it for years and years. It just destroys you. She was constantly weak and just felt awful all the time. I always load up with chemicals when I go into the woods. Those chemicals PROBABLY aren't good for me, but I KNOW what Lyme would do to me. I'll take the chemicals, thanks!

Oh, I forgot, Tiki, you're right. I've eaten some things that the "Western world" would think horrible, but it was tasty! By the same token, what do you think some folks from India think about us eating HAMBURGER! AND PORK!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

My fiance is from Taiwan, and she loves the food she grew up eating. She has made sure that I have tried many of those things that are "exotic" by this Pennsylvania boy's standards....


On the flip side, since I come from an old-time PA "Dutch" family, I have made her eat a lot of OUR weird food - like scrapple, pickled eggs, and souse (head cheese). Yum.


Man, now I want a big scrapple and egg sandwich. Thick-sliced, crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside....

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

All this time I thought The Lizard king was Jim Morrison! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Well at least the Kingdom will be safe with a guardian like him in charge.

Makes the Les Stroud in me wanna start a small fire in a cut open coke can...get a thin stick... never mind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I shouldn't let my mind wander so. Great shot of The King Vic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Peace.
