    THAT'S the one you take issue with? Lol

    In not sure anyone is eating muskrat or opossum outside West Virginia mountain hermits, people born before 1890, and anyone who self identifies as a trapper.

    Squirrel are fantastic.

    They’re the least “gamey” out of most small game, less so than rabbit, and taste something like leaner dark meat chicken.

    Awesome in a crockpot substituted for chicken in most recipes. Can fancy up squirrel with a Sous vide to make squirrel confit bánh mì tacos, or keep it old school and make squirrel pot pie.

    Dove, too.

    Knew someone that tried to eat possum once, said it was the nastiest, greasiest thing he'd ever tried.

    You have to catch the possum first, then corn feed it for about a month or two to get the nasty taste out of the meat before you eat it. So basically, turn it into a pet, then kill and eat it.

    Is.. is that actually true, or are you having a laugh? I genuinely cant tell.

    but if its true, thats an awful lot of effort to make something nasty taste decent.

    That's only true because turkeys aren't that good.

    The amount of work required to make a decent turkey simply isn't worth it when so many better poultry options exist. The best prepared turkey isn't going to come close to a good roast duck.
