Coon

My Grandpa used to say "Have you ever seen a raven eating a raccoon? If it isn't good enough for a raven, it's not good enough for me." So, I've never eaten raccoon.
 
I have never tried it either. My buddy traps and says he sells the coon carcuss to people that eat it. I never have. But, hell, it is a piece of meat, I will try almost anything once. I won't mess up my pit with it, but I will eat it from someone else's.
 
Turtle Man from Kentucky sat down to a fed of Racoon in one of his shows
cheers.

I have tasted it a couple times.I did not care for it.Once it was cooked on a grill/smoker the other time it was baked in the oven with sweet potatoes and such.Just tasted kinda greasy and funky to me.:twitch:
 
They cooked coon on one episode of Jaime Oliver's American Road Trip. The people he was with were hard-core coon hunters, who had never actually eaten coon, so he talked them into cooking and eating it. IIRC, they seemed to like it.
