Re: I know I am getting older (pot luck supper politics)
Being a veteran, and now living down south, I understand that completely. Don't think there's much chance of it backfiring with the kind of people making the demands the OP described, though.
Never tried racoon. Possum is a nasty, disgusting, greasy animal... to the bone!!! Squirrel is really good. Very mild flavored white meat. Doesn't taste like chicken... More like rabbit.
If it's something I killed, and the meat is undamaged, don't have a problem with it. Not into "Road Pizza", though.
That would depend on WHO you were eating with. Some of my wife's Mississippi relatives would ask you what spices you used on the roadkillno joke. We went to pick up a chest freezer one time, (when we lived down there while I was going to MS State univ), at one of her aunt's houses. It was full of squirrel, 'possum, 'coon, etc. Some of it had dates on the plastic wrap that was several years old. When they saw the look on my face and on my wife's face, her aunt told us that roadkill keeps for a long time if you freeze it quick! And she was NOT joking! eeeewwwww...........
She claims NO relation to that side of the family!
