Can’t wait to slice up ham of doubters to feed my dawg.
I’ll take squirrel (or snake or pigeon or …) before ANY lab-grown cancer “meat”. And if i’m sittin’ with other survivors instead of shooting at them, well, then they’re proven good company. So i’m ok with that (-:
that is why I have a couple of wood stoves that have cooking top!
pan fried squirrel is the best. add some taters and green beans and you got a meal
plus a nice cup of coffee. have over 100 pounds of it stashed away.
always figured I could trade some coffee for whatever I might be missing.
god knows there where a lot of times in the army I would have given a lot for a
hot cup of coffee. I stocked up on canned goods as I not going anywhere.
and I am in a good location with a lot of like minded VETS around here.
almost all of the meat in the local stores is locally grown, same with eggs and chickens. only problem is a lot of out of state clowns are moving in.
not a lot, just enough to worry about some. real estate has doubled in price too
around here. make friends with a farmer, help him out, he will help you out when needed. and do not go there empty handed either. just saying.
Down here in Florida one can eat iguana fresh from the trees.
Florida squirrel are kind of scrawny, so it takes a few to make a meal. Though the ones I saw in Chicongo the one time I went could feed 2-3 people easily.
Just remember, people eating tortoises during the Depression, so called ‘Hoover Chickens,’ are one of the prime reasons so many tortoise and turtle species are threatened or endangered.
And how to cook?
Get yourself an old copy – pre 1980s – of the “Joy of Cooking” as it tells you how to cook coon, possum, turtle, hare, pigeon, and lots of other meat animals you won’t find in your average supermarket.
Beans, these coons you mention, do they taste like KFC?
I’ve et snek, horse, turtle, rabbit (listed under poultry in Joy of Cooking) and iguana. Have not done coon, possum, dillo, squirrel, groundhog, beaver (the animal, not the, you know, the thing…,) or other non-supermarket meats.
I can, just why? Especially most trash pandas I’ve encountered are citified garbage eaters, so until way after the collapse I ain’t partaking.
Just watch Beverly hillbillies granny cooked it all
Got to go with the right “Joy of Cooking” recommendation!
Yeah, mine is copyrighted 1997, so I’ll have to check out used bookstores. As for armadillo, they carry leprosy. Not much of a concern now (it’s known as the world’s least contagious disease), but during sporky times when medical care may be iffy, I think I’ll pass.
Re: dillo meat. Just keep your hands clean, don’t dress a dead dillo if you have cuts on your hands, cook the meat well and you’ll be fine.
As you said, it’s really hard to get. Simple caution, soap and water and cooking the meat to well done will solve any issues.
I know people who’ve eaten dillo and they say it’s not bad. Not fantastic, but decent. And hunger is known as an excellent flavoring.
First read abou eating dillos in “Alas, Babylon.”
Squirrel? Do we have company coming?
IDK, is boa constrictor edible?
Evil Franklin
Yes it is. Recipes can be found, last time I checked, on the webs.
Meat is meat.
Make sure to have lots of hot sauce in your bug out bag.
And cook it well done. Stay away from rare or medium with wild game in order to keep parasites down.
Squirrel makes you a survivor
