unusual food preferences?

That tough skin acts like a Steamer bag. They pulled chunks out of the back and tail, ate it as it came out of the shell. There again .....didn't try it but my friend that runs the plant says that the people that eat seem to enjoy it.

Won't lie...I'd try it.

Anyone tried squirrel? Always been curious. I would think they'd taste good if all they eat is acorns and nuts. Plus I mean...breaded and fried with gravy is a winner no matter the species.

Come fall, squirrel and rabbit is a staple at the house, with biscuits and white gravy. And fried. And broiled. Seen it done in a crockpot and used the shredded meat on tacos. (Meat Eater with Steve Rinelle). I like to put rabbit in gumbo too.

Now, I will draw the edible line....we have an invasive species of snails here recently, Apple Snails. Apparently they are edible and some cultures love them.......but it’s not my culture and I just kill them.

but here is a baby gar filleted

And the snail. My kid like to boil them and preserve the shells.

Oh man you had me at biscuits and white gravy. Thinking of trying a squirrel hunt soon.

Y'all have those too?? Gross suckers. And those weird pink eggs they leave everywhere.

They started showing up a couple years ago near southern tip of La. and New Orleans drainage canals are chocked full of them and in the last 12 months they’ve moved north to my fishing areas.

yes, the pink hubba-bubba chewed looking eggs sacks about 18” about the water line. We spend a goodpart of our outings smashing them.

The Mexican workers that pick crabmeat at the plant by the camp take them out of the bayou and throw them on the BBQ pit, whole, No cleaning, no cutting, nuthing. The gar blows up to about double it's original size, When the steam starts escaping from the anal vent it's done.

You just made my night with that @Boudie!!!

So I guess this is a safe place to tell y'all that next on my list of culinary to-do's is getting ahold of a cow head to cook authentic style in a dug pit.

No mames pariente! I can't do that shit.

I still eat freeze-dried salmon dog treats...one for each pooch and one for heavyd.

When I was a kid. Yes. Even after. I’d love to do a head cook. Seen it a couple times, looks amazing.

Can't wait to see what you get next time somebody bombs you!

Fella I rode with kept a box of dog biscuits in his patrol unit. He ate them like a bag of Doritos. Admittedly, I tried them, not the worst thing I’ve eaten.

I'll say that fish food is really gross. The flake kind at least, never ventured beyond that.

I used to eat that stuff when I was a kid too! Just the flakes though.

I used to enjoy eating cherry flavored chapstick and chewing on surfboard wax.

I broke a tooth in college and used surfboard wax to plug the hole for about 3 months until I could afford to fix it

If they don't want us to eat it, they shouldn't flavor it so deliciously.

Exactly!!! It's not my fault!
