| | Raccoon, the other dark meat The other dark meat: Racoon is making it to the table
I'm pretty sure that Meta Givens books have racoon and squirrel recipes as well.
I can't imagine being that hungry to be willing to give it a try.
Discuss amongst yourselves. lol

A small, young 'coon, cleaned properly is a treat in a braising pot. With BBQ sauce added towards the end, the tender meat makes a delicious sandwich. In a roux based gravy it is very good served over rice or mashed potatoes. While not weekly fare at Uncle Bob's house, it has been enjoyed on occasion.
Enjoy!!

Being a chicken farmer , I hates raccoons to pieces. Get rid of them any way you can, including braising, stewing or frying.

Ew... Don't they have scent glands that would ruin the meat?

A guy who worked with Kim always had a problem with the coons getting his sweet corn, so one year he decided to outsmart them, and strung an electric fence around his corn when it was almost ready to pick. He went out that night after supper and turned it on, and slept peacefully, sure his corn was safe.
Problem being, the coons were already in the corn when he turned the fence on, and he had fenced them in, not out.
I have eaten raccoon...didn't care for it BBQ'd, but it was fine in the gumbo.
As for squirrel...that's good eating!
