There's no doubt some of my ancestors ate Whistle Pig. In the Southern Mountains, every critter was tried (and fried) at one time or another. Hard times call for desperate measures. On the 2nd to last day of a grueling moose hunt in NH's White Mountains (D1) after some 14 hours and at least 10 miles in rough terrain, including humping neck deep beaver swamps, we finally busted through the bush near the Canada border on rt. 3. We were into the 90th hour of what was for me the most brutal and physically demanding hunt of my life. We were out of water, completely gassed and half delirious when we arrived at the state trout hatchery. The live-in employee had just arrived at the caretaker's cabin as we staggered in. The 1st thing he said was, 'you kids look a bit dehydrated. Want some cold spring water?' In the next 15 minutes I literally downed 2 GALLONS of water. After, Natureman Jim as he called himself, offered me, Mrs. KG and our 72 years young guide a pile of sandwiches. "Thanks for your kindness and generosity, Jim", I told him. "No worries, gang. Just got done whipping up a batch. God knows a freshly killed 'chuck sandwich always hits the spot!" I think it was then both me and Mrs. KG lost concsiousness and collapsed in his parlor. Ever since been curious about eating the overgrown rats. True story. My only takeaway from this above nightmare is, Mrs. Kg is just as crazy as Mr. Kg. 🦫

Leighton, I don’t eat cat, dog, hamster, mice, or woodchuck.
And don’t tell me it’s chicken, when I can see it had a furry head and tail.

All animals are made of meat. That's all I'm gonna say.

My maternal grandparents talked about eating them, said the young ones were really good. I've never partaken, but some of those bastards back in PA were big! But we always shot them with deer rifles, so wasn't much left to think about lol.

One of the best odd meats that I ever ate was in Peru where they cooked guinea pig over a charcoal fire. Not those little pets, but big ones, like groundhogs. Tasted like slow cooked spare ribs.

I used to dig him a bunch every spring. He'd eat them raw by the handful right out of the fridge. I don't like them that much myself but they aren't bad in a tater salad.
