[bumlicker]

i dont

understand most people!

 

[Tryharder62]

I'm real happy for them but I'm not going.

 

[fgarvb1]

My wife wants us to go.

I informed her that I hoped she enjoyed "Her" trip.

I'm on edge around snakes I can see...Thinking there may be some around I can't see...

Do you eat meat of any kind? Whats not to understand. They use all the parts.

I have never eaten snake before.

I know this because, here in Texas one had better inquire about he meat on the Bar Be Que.

I learned the hard way that Raccoon, Opossum,Squirrel and Armadillo is not to my liking.

Snake...I don't know.

Snake is OK. It really does taste like fried chicken. I have cajun roots and have always lived near a river or ocean. I won't gross you out by telling you all the things I've eaten. Ever heard of scrapple?

All meat is kind of gross if you really think about it.

Oh my god, scrapple is the worst. I can't believe people actually eat it.

Kind of like "Hogshead cheese" I don't eat that either.

My grandparents went through the great depression with two kids and learned how to pinch a penny until Lincoln cried out in agony. Put enough pancake syrup on it and it's edible.

For those of you that don't know what Scrapple is I put it this way. You know what Spam is right? Scrapple is made from the leftover parts of meat that Spam says "Oh hell no. We aren't using that"

During hog butchering time, my grandmother's comment was: "We use everything but the squeal, and we'd use that if we could get hold of it."

Cracklings......head cheese...pickled pigs feet.......tripe......chitterlings...

Oops!

 

[fgarvb1]

My parents went through the Great Depression...My mother was raised on a farm.

We butchered our own meat until recently.

If they could of used the Squeal they would have.

Yeah, I'm an Ole country/farm/ranch boy.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Yeah fuck that shit. Having had several close calls in the field, I have too much respect for them to be tempting fate.

^^ This....if I don't plan on eating it I try to not fuck with it at all if possible. Take a pic from 10 ft away and move the fuck out.

Tell you what though, more so than snakes, I fear hog's man...

Once upon a time on a hot GA summer night we were in the field doing movement to contact exercises and PVT fuck face happened to stumble into a den of them....boar fuckin' wrecked that poor kid in the blink of an eye man. Leg's just shredded like ribbons.....and if I'm not mistaken it put him in the hospital/therapy for like a year. IDK I do remember it was long enough that he officially left the unit and was put into the hospital food chain while receiving care.

After that I started carrying a .458 in the woods just in case T-Rex showed up

The rattlesnake roundup is fun although I haven't been to one since I was a kid. I've never eaten snake or the other things you mentioned..Armadillo is a carrier of leprosy and I've seen too many of them as roadkill so I would never want them on a menu. Frog legs are good if they're not old and cooked right. I've gone frog gigging and snipe hunting a few times. Wild boar sausage with jalapenos is great. Emu sausage is good..Venison is ok. I'd never eat a possum..Some guys in high school left a dead one hanging by its neck for me and a few friends to find one morning. We didn't see it when we sat down at our usual table one morning before class started..A friend happened to look up and screamed. Unusual way to start a school day.

The coloreds, thats what they called themselves back then, fished at colored cove on the county lake catching tons of perch and little sunfish, crappie, whatever which they would take home, pressure cook (no cleaning or scaling), and then make patties which they would fry to eat with their collared greens.

You may be disappointed but that is not solely a "colored" thing to do.

I did not say it was, but they were the only people I've ever observed to do that.

We were dirt farmers that went through the depression so I ate cabbage and okra, and okra is some really nasty stuff, but it was a hardy grower...

Okra is horrible when stewed. I was made to eat it in the parochial grade school I attended. Talking about a lot of kids finding ways to dump food, okra was the winner. Well, sauerkraut tied. I was no longer forced to eat it after throwing it up at lunch. I tried not to throw up, but some things just can't be stopped. Fried okra isn't too bad though.

Know what you mean about dirt farmers. My dad's family went through that.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

We lived on what we ate until granddad developed a heart condition, but by then my dad was a union member and we then were eating mostly from the grocery store...


I was happy because I was tired of plowing and hoeing.


The only meat we had was catfish, but we mainly went down to the river to get that.

The fish in the county lake were too small to clean...
