Got home from the rifle range and my wife had on the TRAVEL channel and the show with Andrew Zimmern had some people from Puerto Rico cooking up coyote in the Bronx (N.Y.).
No I couldn't and didn't watch it. To each his own I guess !

Hip

Since , thanks to the politicians , there are great excessive rodent numbers in NYC, they should teach people how to cook and eat the rats !

I don't know if it is still open, but there was a big hoorah a couple of years back about a new restaurant in Bejing China whose main dish was rats, cooked various ways.

Google "coyote recipes".

Since I am an "eat what you kill" sort of person, I can say that it is like any other game meat in that if you take care of it properly, it is not bad at all. No, it doesn't taste like chicken.

Sorry , I do not think so ! PsOS .
I look at them as 4 legged gang bangers .
I cannot do my civic duty w/ 2 legged ones, I can w/ 4 legged ones !
A N D , no , they are not related to my Lab ! Do your research !

Larry, do both of you like them ?

Yup. My wife is from west Texas and she likes them just fine. Either tenderized or cut into cubes for the stew, they are fine. It can be a little tough if not cooked right. I wouldn't just throw it on the grill like a good deer backstrap.

I guess I would if I had nothing else to eat, but I have other meat, so I'll pass for now.

Never been that hungry, and probably never will.

Given a choice between coyote and possum, that yodel dog would be in serious trouble.

Damn, not my choices for dinner entrees. I'll pass on both. Starvation will make people do things they never thought they'd do, but I'd have to be pretty hungry to tackle coyote steaks, I can tell you that.

I've always said that I'd eat anything anyone else would, just goes to show you I can be wrong.

If it came to coyote, possum, skunk, raccoon, and a few other such, I would elect to start a diet I've been planning for many years. I could stand to drop twenty pounds or so. After that, given no other options, I would turn vegetarian. I would munch grass like a Clydesdale. Varmints will never pass my lips. I have very high standards. Feral hogs of course are an exception. If I could find big enough yellow thingies, I would eat those ugly bastards like corn on the cob.
