‘Coon meat? Down where I come from, they eat Nutria, a giant water rat with enormous, ugly orange front teeth that GROW! Granted, I haven’t tried it, but everybody says it’s delicious - just like chicken! Or almost …

i don’t see the problem with eating raccoon. I mean meat is meat, all meat tastes different. The road kill idea is hard to think of but you’re not literally eating roadkill. we as humans eat pigs, the fattest dirtiest most gross animal. we eat little scrawny chickens as well as cows. Raccoon is no different and I think most o fthe doubts arein poeples imagimation

I am surprised none of the OSU faithful have discussed another tasty treat - Wolverine.

My sister bakes coons with pepper sauce on them. I have never eaten it,never will. That and chitlin’s are just nasty. Throw the possum on the list also. However, we do have an Armadillo Festival in Arkansas.

Never say never this meat might taste good if I got hungry enough.

I’ve had raccoon at a men’s wild game dinner. It cooks up red with the texture of roast beef; it was edible, but on the greasy side. The muskrat actually tasted and looked better.

Back in the day, when furs were worth a buck or two we would trap them little masked rascals. We cooked some for the hounds and they would not even touch them. Bon Appetite.

I haven’t had raccoon, but a friend one cooked some opossum for me and believe it or not, it was pretty good. The meat was a little oily, as I remember, but not a bad dish at all. But it is really hard to get over the road kill imagery, even if it doesn’t look anything like that on the plate.

I’m trying to think of a culture that would think Americans are weird for eating chicken. Quite a lot of those cultures would be happy just to have ANYTHING to eat, scrawny chicken or raccoon a la Pontiac. Now cutting down a perfectly good pine tree and sticking in the living room all December - that’s weird.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo Jack’s in Covington served that. They have other exotic meats after all.

There’s a certain steel belted radial quality to raccoon that I can’t quite get my head around.

You don’t eat the ones in the city. You go out in the country and hunt or trap them. You want to eat them critters.

ah the thought of eating something that digs through my trash and eats dirty diapers is very unappealing to me.the phrase of “Road kill grill, you kill’em we grill ‘em” comes to mind as well. but ive heard stranger things being eaten so i guess don’t knock it til you try it lol!

And of course there is always the old Gary Burbank option. “Weasel, the other yellow meat!”

Ummm, raccoon. For some reason, I can only picture one person eating this, but then again, some cultures think Americans are really weird for eating a scrawny little thing called a Chicken.
