She said they ate woodchuck all the time and it was better than rabbit, not as tough.
They ate them all kinds of ways as well and even put the meat into pasties.
BTW I am sure that Gene, Paul and I have eaten far worse, heck that would be like Christmas dinner if you were hungry.
There are plenty of recipes, most look like you treat them a lot like fatty squirrels, which makes sense. Parboil, then bake.
I'd probably give them a try if I was out camping, everything tastes better then!
And trust me, I've eaten far worse.....try Icelandic hakarl....
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
