I've eaten armadillo many times as a young man. We used to use them for the camp dinner. But when we heard about the leprosy, we stopped-I mean instantly stopped!

Possum is edible, not my favorite.

My mom could bake a racoon and I know you have heard this before, but it really tasted very much like a baked chicken, only greasier. Good grease, though.

Sadly I failed to get the recipe from her before it was too late. I have never been as successful at cooking it as she was.

I have eaten lots of rattlesnake and, as a young policeman, I cooked one, took it to the station and fed the girls in Records. I sorta lied to them, telling them it was small chicken backs. They were really mad at me when some snitch dimed me out.
