Anyone Eat Armadillos and/or Racoons?

[Chew]

Ate raccoon pretty regularly growing up (dad had a pack of hounds). Usually barbecued. It was OK from what I remember.

You couldn't make me eat possum after seeing one crawl out of a decomposed cow's a@@.

Has to be an east Texas thing

Politicians in Arkansas pretty much have to eat them once a year.

That is a mental image I cant unsee.

Never tried either one, but I do know we sold ALOT of coons at $5 apiece to folks who ate them. We took good care of them, washed them out, etc. Had to leave a foot on though or folks wouldn't buy.

Coons are decent. Awkward size to clean.

Never tried a diller and it’s not high on the list!

Eating Armadillo can be dangerous. They carry the Leprosy disease.
Armadillos are one of the very few mammals that harbor the bacteria that causes the sometimes disfiguring disease, which first shows up as an unusual lumpy skin lesion.

Eat a rattlesnake!

Never tried armadillo it raccoon can be awesome if cooked halfway right.Best I ever had was deboned and made into a bbq sloppy joe sandwich. I was 7 and hunting with my Grandfather in Tunica Hills Mississippi I can still remember how good that sandwich was.

Coon is not good. Armadillo is not edible.

I've always given armadillos a hard pass in the woods. I don't have any reason to shoot them if I'm not going to eat them. I figured I'd ask if they were worth trying on the grill. Sounds like that's a "no". As for coons, I've skinned a couple, and always thought, "yea-no... not gonna eat this one, maybe next time".

Pass for me.

My stomach is curning just reading this.

I’ve had coon several times and was edible. Can’t say I crave it. No Dillo however. Just seems like a lot of work.

I'm gonna ask... though I feel like this is a set-up with a goofy punchline to follow... Why wouldn't they buy without a foot on?
