Not terribly weird, but being a suburban girl, having mountain oysters at a farm following that time of year that bulls become cattle, and many years later durian the odd fruit that smells like gas, tastes a little like strawberry and had the texture of mush, probably because it was frozen.The little baby bat looks kind of cute.
I bet if you dredged him in flour and dropped him in some peanut oil he’d taste just like baby bat dredged in flour.
What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? (Not counting curdled soy bean juice.)
I’ve eaten guinea pig in Ecuador. Not a big fan.
And in Iceland they catch Greenland sharks, let them start to rot, then cut them up and hang them to dry for 5-6 months. It’s called Hakarl. (There is an accent over the A but oddly enough I don’t have that symbol on my iPhone keyboard.) Lets just say that it’s an acquired taste. I actually kind of like it. It tastes a little like elephant rectum that’s been confite’d in the crankcase oil from a 1956 International Harvester corn thresher. If you wash it down with their caraway schnapps you’re pretty much guaranteed to be carrying on a conversation with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters within the hour.
caraway schnapps? hmmmm.....
Damn. I'm a little short on the LSD, any suggestions for a substitute? 'shroom juice?It’s called Brenivin. I think it’s made from potato like vodka then flavored with caraway like gin. Then they mix in 20 pounds of LSD and give it a good stir.
You know the Northern Light? No such thing, it’s just people drinking Brenivin and hallucinating.
and here I thought it was the Vogons who destroyed the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass
Happy Towel Day all you Massholes!
Did it Phil your belly?Maybe not too unusual, but groundhog, or woodchuck, or whistle pig, whichever you choose to call it.
Not too bad.

I just got out of Costco, and seeing the beef prices, this is good to know.Nope, more like grass fed beef. A bit gamier tho.
I was craving a burger, went to Fry's/Kroger. $5.99 a pound for 80/20, and only in 3 pound packs. Cheaper to go to Carl's Jr. And I think the 80/20 was a lie, more like 60/40.I just got out of Costco, and seeing the beef prices, this is good to know.
The last ground chuck I purchased from the butcher (because I trust I can safely eat it medium rare) must have been a whopping $10 lb. I didn’t know the price because they are doing curbside and I just didn’t think to ask, of course it’s always more than the supper market. I have a grinder for the kitchenAid and might start making my own like a freaking off the grid hermit. Not that there’s anything wrong with that... Well, until you write a 200p manifesto and start stockpiling certain items.I was craving a burger, went to Fry's/Kroger. $5.99 a pound for 80/20, and only in 3 pound packs.

We have a hard time trapping them. Ours typically perish from lead poisoning.Up until now, I thought only Bob and I were eating woodchuck. We have a saying at our house- "You eat my garden, I eat you". A groundhog can decimate a garden in just a couple of hours. It was amazingly good! My grandson saw one the other day scampering in our yard, and we put the trap out, but no luck so far!
I cook them slow in the oven with a glaze. It's an old German recipe according to the internet!
We've also enjoyed rabbit quite a bit, but I draw the line at raccoons, chipmunks, and red squirrels.
Not much into manifestos, but I will confess to stockpiling dried foods, and supplementing with a bit of canning for meats.The last ground chuck I purchased from the butcher (because I trust I can safely eat it medium rare) must have been a whopping $10 lb.

Wrt trapping, from what I've seen they're particularly attracted to young dandelion greens...

I do chicken a lot, beef chuck, and sausage (homemade hot Italian).I can venison every year, and we love it. We open a jar, heat it up, add some sour cream and serve over noodles. Voila! Stroganoff.
