"Strange" animals, "strange" cuisine

[JW_Halverson]

The odds of eating wild game with communicable disease/parasites has got to be far less than the risks associated with feedlot animals where vectors of infection are out of this world.  Deer do not stand around in filth up to their hocks like cattle are forced to do.  The sick/weak in the wild are not cared for and do not last, unlike feedlot animals getting daily doses of low level antibiotics...a practice that simply produces stronger diseases that are unresponsive to drugs.

Fresh deer heart, probably one of the healthiest and most natural things you have EVER put in your belly.

Sushi is usually cooked, sashimi is raw. I've tried pretty much everything in Florida except opossum and some of our newer exotics. House cat and dog are pretty tastie. When I was lobstering I'd usually pinch some tail meat off to chew on while I was diving. If I ate it all, it was lunch and gave me one more to go to make up my limit.

Once we were visiting this same subject around the campfire at a Rendezvous.  A young feller about 14 was wide eyed as folks traded their favorite recipes for beaver, finally he could hold out no longer.  He blurted out, "Someday I am gonna eat a beaver!"  I patted him fondly on the shoulder and said softly, "You will, son, someday you will."   

Thats just freaking golden,  .

     Supposedly, the Apache's preferred mule meat over other meats.  Don't know if it is true or not, but I don't see why it wouldn't be as good as beef.  Ask the french, ...... horse meat is common over there.

The back strap of a Gar taste like shark, and shark taste AMAZING! But you must eat it fresh or it gets rubbery. I have cooked them on a hot flat rock heated up in a camp fire. Just a pinch of salt and MMmmmMMMMmmm! Gar is amazing.
