It's the hills people that eat those things....

Ah, got it. Of course my only reference is "The Beverly Hillbillies" and that show MIGHT not be historically accurate

Well now a mess of fried squirrel is down right tasty. My Grandmother used to fry the heads, crack open the skull and eat the brains. I never could get past those orange teeth......

I couldn't eat them but did cook them and they got eaten.

Meat is meat. Depends on how much $ there was to live on, how open you were to trying new stuff, and if it was palatable. I have had much more array of meats than what I do at the moment. Money is present more now than as a kid. I was taught not to shoot anything I didn't plan to eat unless it was attacking me or a threat in some way.

Yep and I understand that you can buy "guinea pig on a stick" on the street in Peru. It all depends on what you grow up eating. If it is only the things that were in the grocery store when you were growing up (as is the case with me), lots of things others consider food take a bit to wrap your (emotional) head around.

Teresa made some Vietnamese Pho (soup) yesterday using some of @CntryBoy777s beef brisket that turned out awesome. That brisket was so big we had to cut it up into pieces and freeze separately. The sweet smokey taste of the brisket worked perfectly used this way.

 

[CntryBoy777]

I've never eaten that, but I know that brisket would've been really Great by itself.....the soup does look good tho....

Gosh Fred... if you're giving away huge beef briskets, add me to the present list willya? That soup sure does look good.
