Tried it once, that was enough.
You could make a moose turd taste okay with enough BBQ sauce. But that doesn't mean you should be eating it.

Meats meat. Some is better than others. Young coon boiled and the fat removed makes a ok sandwich with lots of miracle whip so its not dry. Boiled, fat removed, meat pulled off, put in a crockpot, add 1/2 KC Masterpiece original and half Gates hot bbq sauce , cook on low about 4 hours. Everbody saying they wont eat it , would eat it if you dont tell em its coon.

If you dont like your bbq with some kick use straight KC Masterpiece. Dont add the Gates hot. By itself that Gates hot will set your face on fire. Way to much for me anyways.

Young fried raccoons are delicious.my grandad used to get an once in a while and hed call me and I'd go up and eat it with him for supper.

Mamaw would cool them for us..

Young groundhogs is also good.

Cant go chittlins though

Whats a chittlin?

I think it's fried intestines with the chit removed; or at least hopefully so.

What Cathryn said ....
my grandfather and I would shoot a nice young woodchuck...
Grandma would cook it up for us ...

I've had raccoon as well ..
A little more greasy , if I remember right ..

Chitlins smell disgusting when they are cooking. I never been hungry enough I could get past that smell. I have ate a lot of hog guts though as sausage casing. Pile a bunch of them together and that smell is horrid.

typically the large intestines washed and not scraped like sausage casings, it can be the large intestine of other animals also , there is a lot of fat on them , how they are cooked doesn't make them what they are it is common for them to be boiled or fried.

collard greens and chittlings is a common dish made with them , it is like a rich broth soup with wilted greens

one of the girls my daughter went to kindergarten with he family had a soul food restaurant and many dishes came with a side of chittlins and collards.
I never really got up the ambition to make them myself having plenty of other high fat low on the hog meat available

I am more partial to eating the head myself if I ask nice I can some times get free heads.

Mmmm mmmmm
Serve on top of a pile of guinea worm "noodles" with marinara?

I was in Dominican Republic many years ago and saw a local resident eating porc intestine at restaurant. From distance it sure looked like a plain noodle soup... according to them it is a delicacy...still not sure I would eat it.

Chittlings...just learned something new...Thanks

Is chittlins the same thing as chitterlings? I see the pails of frozen chitterlings at the grocery stores. Sorry if this is a dumb question

Yep... one and the same.

coon caught and prepared for your self is probaly better than what others have prepared for you that you didnt see untill on the table most just know what their told just like on here lol

I might consider eating coon if I live trapped it and confined it in a pen for a while. While confined I would give the coon some de wormer meds and feed it all the cat food it wanted. This after a few weeks would give you a coon that is very wholesome to butcher and eat. I would do this with say a pen of six coon at the same time to give you some to freeze for later. Coon chittlins might be fine too.

back in the 70s the taverns would have coon feed.we had a older lady that used to make coon and dressing sandwiches.she would take the glands out from under the front legs and boil them until you could shred the meat. I have never had it.

Those of you that eat deer rare are more likely to pick up a parasite than anybody eating a well done coon . It is a rare occurrence but deer can carry blood Bourne parasites like liver flukes brain worms and certain tape worms . The only thing that will survive the temperature of lethality is spores and prions which CWD is a prion .

I see we have a bunch of in laws from Yuppieville on the forum! Coon is great man, you can make it with potatoes, you can make it into ground coon sausage, and we even make coon jerky out of it. The only animal that we wont eat is an armadillo, and really thats only because just coming into contact with them can apparently get you leprosy.

Anybody who wants to try possum, make it with sweet potatoes, that is a Louisiana classic!

You can have my share of coon and possum. I'll eat a cow instead!
