Nahh , but most are close to the taste of spotted owl LOLcoon, muskrat, rattlesnake, etc. It all tastes like chicken! grin
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
Cat is a lot more greasy than coon, kind of like that nasty dark back meat on a baked chicken....more greasy, even than bear.
But you're wasting your time if you're eating anything but muskrat. Sweet potato-stuff 'possum is some good eatin' every once in a while, of course, but for day-in, day-out culinary joy, nothing beats muskrat.
Unless it's a 1 1/2" T-Bone or Rib Eye, grilled medium, that is.
Just kidding about all that other stuff, too, though I ran across a recipe for coon-pfeffer once that didn't sound half bad. I used the same recipe for rabbit (hassenpfeffer).
My guess is that the foot stayed on there because of game laws that had to do with proving that it was a coon carcass as oposed to anything (including, but not necessarily, felis domesticus) else.

I guess anything that moves could be considereed a food source...
We had a coon incident here just a couple of weeks ago coon killin anyone who eats coon know you don't eat it before "dinner"anyway, I have also heard that you should always leave a paw on to make sure that it's not a cat if sold or given to others
Where did you see this? Sounds like an interesting place to shop to me.

Mike it is an area of older St. Louis where I grew up as a kid. It some what like the French Quarters of New Orleans. It is a mostly outdoor food market where farmers (more in the olden days) or others can pull their truck up to and rent a spot. Its the only spot that I know of that no matter what nationality you are, you can find what you are use to eating. Along with buying pets, live chickens and live turkeys. Produce is usually a third of the price of the supermarket. If you eat rabbit, goat or elk, well this is meat you can not get at the supermarket but you can get this meat at Soulard Farmers Market. You can also get knock off clotheing, purses and shoes. Its a +1 place to go if you are a visitor to St. Louis or live here. It was just this weekend that I seen so many raccoons being sold, that I asked questions.
Coon really isn't that bad. Nor is cat or dog for that matter. Cat is is a little stringy, but done right, not bad.
I really liked beaver. Now that was some good eatin'.
