Your fav non-typical meat

[carr52]

I'm not much of a hunter either. When you only have one good leg it's a little hard to follow a wounded deer or climb a tree stand. But if somebody is going to kill it and give it to me I'll eat just about anything. The only thing I've killed lately is a "Cup-O- Noodles"

Elk, moose, deer, grouse - rarely. I like elk the best, and Rod got his on the first day of the season, so we have meat for another year. Yay!

When I was a kid my mom used to make fried caves brain. She breaded it and it looked like a fried chicken breast. I loved it. Roasted cows tongue is also good.

I had a buddy whose dad came from Maine. One day I asked his dad what he was eating . It was chopped whale's eye. I didn't ask for a bite.

Another thing that's real nice is stuffed ox heart. Real good cold when it is cold and easier to slice. Of course lambs fry in a nice onion gravy is great and so is lambs fry cut up small and fried with chopped onions and bacon and then have on a slice of toast. Tastes great!

Art, i was looking in the frozen meat case at the supermarket, and they had cow tongue, for 14.99 a pound!!!!!! Filet mignon was going for 9.99 ! As for my favorite non-typical, there's a guy who lives up-state that makes pickled deer heart. Man that's good.

Prawns (shrimp) , squid , scallops or best of all abalone , delicious ! Fav meat is typical though , cant go past a good thick lump of steak !

When we lived in the wilds of NE Washington state back in the 60s I used to hunt tree squirrels in the winter. It takes a couple dozen to make a decent meal. They are great until the snow gets so deep that they can't get to their cache of food. They start to eat pine and fir needles and then taste like turpentine! My grandfather used to hunt ground hogs and bake them up. The trick there is to bake them on a rack so the fat drips off the meat, otherwise they are pretty strong tasting. I've eaten rattlesnake, cougar steaks, venison, elk, 4 types of grouse(blue grouse are the biggest, up to 4 lbs, but they only live on the highest ridges, lots of hiking to get to them), buffalo, skunk, raccoon, and snowshoe rabbit.

So how does skunk taste?

So how does skunk taste?

It's a red meat, was a little greasy, slightly gamey tasting, fine grained. Kind of tasted a little like mule deer venison but not as tough. The skunks in that part of the country lived off the land and not in garbage dumps. They eat small animals, grasses, wild berries, wild grains, etc.. fairly decent diet. I only had it one time, it was too greasy for my taste, but wasn't that bad. I'm glad my grandfather cleaned and skinned it!! If you shoot them just right they don't have a chance to spray their scent!!!!!!
