"The frogs were taken as evidence....."...................and tasted delicious.
I watched a friend clean a Snapping turtle after he dispatched it and bled it out. Seemed like a lot of work for the amount of meat he got. I'd just as soon leave them be and let them clean the stream/lake/pond bottom.WK
Unless you had eaten it as a kid, usually out of necessity, you might turn your nose up at :rural foods" like turtle, possum, raccoon, squirrel or hare.Weird that people are so much more comfortable eating meats that are LEGALLY loaded with drugs and chemicals, yet get squeamish when you mention anything that is "wild" caught, killed , cleaned and cooked?That's like saying you won't eat catfish because they are a bottom feeder, eating garbage, but will order tilapia at a restaurant (when they are truly the garbage eaters)!!!a couple of things I have learned over the years: My taste have changed, and I am an "adventure eater" who will try different things at least once.Think about it...who was the first person to eat raw shellfish and say "This is yummy!"?Who saw a cow's udders and said "I wonder how that stuff tastes?"Hey, in parts of Asia cats and dogs are considered food!
As for Tilapia, I won't touch the stuff! You owe it to yourselves to read the book "Four Fish" by author Paul Greenberg. It'll make you reconsider eating some of the so called "healthy" fish that's in our supermarkets.
