Michael – you mean to say that you would eat Dog and Cat, but would NEVER eat chitlins again. Hard to imagine. I just couldn’t possibly imagine that anyone in the Western World would eat domestic animals. To me, this is very, very sick. I have a dog as do millions of other people, and I just can’t see eating them. Am I wrong, I don’t think so.

Nutria…huge rat common in eastern NC.
Buffalo, moose, deer, rabbit, squirrel, and frog legs – yes
The rest – no
OK, I was tired and got anenomies and urchin mixed up. Sorry…it’s fixed. My brother used to dive commercially for sea urchin and said it was the foulest thing he’d ever tasted…and he loves seafood!

Meats:
Buffallo- yes- There is a restaurant near us that makes buffalo burgers. We’ve gone there to get some, and they were closed for the day.

Ostrich- Why not?!

I have very little trouble consuming any animal that has a legal hunting/fishing season. Most of the ones I’ve tried, I’ve really enjoyed. I just don’t want to know if I’m eating innards, then if I like them, you can tell me what I had.
