Replace Biden, SomehowPosted By Darian Rachal |
Richard, I ate plenty of squirrels when I was young. I always wanted them to save me the head because I liked the brains. We had squirrel gumbo or just squirrels stewed in a pot. They have a distinctive flavor somewhat similar to a wild rabbit, although a bit more favorable. One day I hope to be somewhere where I can get a fried cow or pig brain sandwich.Originally Posted by Richard Davis
BTW, one of my customers a really great lady who lived in Texas was from the Backwoods of Missouri. Super lady but now gone. When I was working on her house in Texas she told me that she still ate Squirrels and that she had some in the freezer. She was planning on fixing me a Squirrel dinner but that never happened.
Have you ever eaten squirrels?
I would try any animal once.
How much meat do you actually get from a raccoon?
The ones in my house seem to be pretty hefty, maybe 40 lbs??

Greg, you don't know what you're missing!Originally Posted by Greg Shaffer
Yep you have eaten squirrel......I prefer stewed over fried but both are good. I pass on the brains though...

Rich, the Rocky Mountain oysters are one thing I'd like to try if I ever have the opportunity. The frog legs you referred to must have been bullfrogs to be that large. Frog legs are pretty much standard fare in seafood restaurants around here. It's usually the seasoning that gives them flavor.Originally Posted by Richard Davis
Darian, You and Greg have it going on with the exotic cuisine. I didn't realize that there are so many people who eat all kinds of animals that are off the regular menu.
When I was in Texas, we tried to go get Rocky Mtn. Oysters. Went to the stockyards but everything was closed for some reason.
The only halfway exotic food I've had are frog legs when I lived in the Ozark Mtns in AR, and was shocked at the size of them. I was expecting these little skinny legs and here come these huge massive things. I don't what kind of frogs they have there but they were almost a meal in themselves. They must have been from a 10lb frog.
I've never eaten animal brains but would definitely try them. You mentioned a fried Pig brain sandwich. Have you ever eaten a pig snout sandwich? My sister said that was the only thing she could not eat and like me she'll try anything.
The only weird thing I eat on a regular basis are chicken hearts and livers. You can buy them here at Safeway and I keep them in the freezer. They are excellent when you're looking for something to snack on at night.
Whenever I can get them, I like pickled pig feet. I can eat jars of those. Down South though, I think you'll find the most variety of foods. I think I could live on Cajun cooking the rest of my life.
I used to buy Crawdads by the 5 lb bag, but WalMart quit selling them like that. They were seasoned and everything, you just had to boil them up.
Now I can't find them. Its too bad. One of these days I'm going to get to N. Orleans, just to try the authentic Cajun and Creole food.
That is one place I've never been is N.O. I know it is a hopping place, especially during Mardi Gras.
I might have to pass on the pig snout sandwich, but I'd like to try a fried pig's tail. The chicken hearts and livers are very good.
My father seemed to like the pickled pig feet; not my cup of tea.
Regarding the crawfish, they are out of season right now. Probably early next year they might become available in your area.
It's been 20 years since I've been to Mardi Gras. It's a very festive atmosphere and very enjoyable if you don't mind huge crowds of people. If you could book some type of tour where all arrangements are taken care of, that might be the easiest way to go.

Greg, if you think they smell bad when they are cooked, IIRC, the smell is even worse when they are cleaned. I see them in supermarkets around here in big plastic tubs, frozen.Originally Posted by Greg ShafferBullfrogs are the only kind of frog legs I am interested in gigging or eating......
Pickled pigs feet with a glass of cold milk will get my attention any time.
Tried mountain oysters once....not my thing.
Fried Tripe (cow stomach) while not something I seek out regularly is passable.
Chitterlings (or in southern speak Chitlins) ie pig entrails are a HARD NO for me.....They must 1st be boiled before they are fried and the smell will put me at a dead run to get away LOL. My parents would cook up a mess from time to time and I would run away to the neighbors house for a couple days till the smell was gone. Literally walk in the neighbors door and say Moms cooking chitlins again was all that needed to be said
Chicken hearts, livers, gizzards are a staple food around here.....beef liver and onions as well.
Will fight over the last piece of fried salt cured mullet fish sopped in cane syrup.....Pretty much my favorite food on the planet.....
Grillades(gre'ahds) is a stew with a thick, dark brown gravy. The beef meat is composed of kidney, heart, lung? (something spongy), some little intestine looking pieces, and something called sweet bread(it's the best part, but I'm not sure what it is). I may have left out some ingredients; that's all I can remember. Only certain meat markets sell these 'delicacies'. If you look up grillades, you'll get another dish, but what I described is the real thing. It's a fantastic dish.

Heard of Helmut Norpoth?Posted By Darian Rachal |
Greg, that sounds pretty reasonable to me. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that's not fairly accurate.Originally Posted by Greg ShafferHe came up with a predictive presidential election model that has been right in 24 out of 26 elections (including 2016).....That says it has only been wrong twice in over 100 years.
That model predicts a 91% probability of Trump winning in Nov......in fact it predicts a landslide of 362 to 176 electoral votes in Trump vs Biden.....

Rod, it's obvious that everyone doesn't live in fear like you do. The only reason I put one on is because I'm forced to in order to enter businesses. The virus is not at the forefront of my mind. The idiocy surrounding it is. I guess you'll wear a mask until CNN tells you it's okay not to wear one.😷💀😜Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
That's assuming Trump even makes to November and doesn't wind up on a vent:

Did you see Trump yesterday, throwing out MAGA hats to a crowd of unmasked and clustered-together Trumptoids?
He should have been throwing them masks...

Greg cut Rod a little slack; he's not totally responsible for his statements. You have to keep in mind his "condition"(TDS)Originally Posted by Greg ShafferDarian.....feel free to borrow my finger
(It is quick, easy and ever so Rod worthy)
He doesn't appear to have taken the first step and admitted to himself that he has a problem. There must be a support group(similar to AA) that he can attend somewhere in his area. My concern is what CNN might convince him to do if Trump wins reelection. I just hope he gets help before November.
