- WordsnCollision, on 02/01/2009, -4/+80I'm just wondering how they "mask" the flavor.
- DubYaSee, on 02/01/2009, -1/+50So, you no longer need to go to Cancun to get Canned Coon?
- ncapone, on 02/01/2009, -1/+45That was the worst pun ever.
- JohnBlonn, on 02/02/2009, -5/+44Watch out. If you eat raccoon meat you might develop the Hunger for human flesh...
- pokmuk2, on 02/01/2009, -8/+36I do not want to eat any raccoon
- Shmebber, on 02/02/2009, -0/+222nd worst pun ever. It's a close contest between yours and WordsnCollision's up there.
- positron, on 02/01/2009, -6/+26Protip: When you highlight your own pun its humor quotient decreases ten fold.
- pirlok, on 02/01/2009, -3/+22why not?
- flowaus, on 02/02/2009, -1/+19Having eaten rat in China a couple of years back, never say never.
After you've tasted it, THEN you say never. - sugarazor, on 02/02/2009, -14/+32Hmmm... it says I'm browsing Digg.com, but it's reading like *****.net
- NicoNicoNico, on 02/01/2009, -2/+20Funny that this appeared now. Just a few days ago, my boyfriend told me how he tried raccoon. He said it tastes like beef, and really tender. Now I kinda want to try it myself. Hell, it's better than some of the more "traditional" recipes that come from my dad's family. Sheep brain, anyone?
- AmyVernon, on 02/02/2009, -2/+19om nom nom nom
- trafficlight, on 02/02/2009, -0/+16Save me Captain Grammar!
- retoriplastique, on 02/02/2009, -0/+15Syntaxgs, as always providing quotes full of wisdom.
- KingGorilla, on 02/02/2009, -0/+14May contain nuts though
- psteve4, on 02/02/2009, -0/+14I live in Louisiana so many of you probably expect this story, and I debated telling it because I didn't want to perpetuate a stereotype, but here goes:
I had a patient once that was suffering from frequent gout flare-up and I needed to teach him what foods he should stay away from. I told him that game is something to steer clear of and he looked ginuinely depressed when he looked up and said "So I'm gonna have to give up coon?" Maybe it is descent if this guy was so upset about it? - cl2yp71c, on 02/02/2009, -0/+12I'm deeply sorry that you failed first grade.
- Surferess, on 02/01/2009, -1/+13Ah, c'mon now just one bite! You can do it. Just think about something else while you chew.
- rukeypoo, on 02/02/2009, -2/+14Are you sure it's not human meat?
- Crashwithuhk, on 02/02/2009, -1/+12Dugg because I just saw that episode for the first time last night.
- SumoSniper, on 02/02/2009, -1/+12Hahaha, yeah, I lol'd.
"Word has gotten around about how clean his frozen coon carcasses are."
To those that don't get it, "coon", to Australians, is to our aborigines what ***** is to African Americans. IE: ***** insulting, and used by racist whites. - Enept, on 02/02/2009, -0/+10Likewise, pork has this parasite:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis
Or we can always find the ever-so-fun E. coli found in beef. Stuff like this is why we cook our foods. The primary reason was to kill the things that could make us sick. And even in the cases where meats are served raw, steps are taken during handling to reduce harmful levels of pathogens.
I've never had raccoon but I'd try it if it was offered to me. I'll just keep in mind that it needs to be well done. - NJSlacker, on 02/02/2009, -0/+10same applies to americans too, just not quite as bad.
- thumperings, on 02/02/2009, -1/+11you accidentally the whole verb there.
- bieber, on 02/02/2009, -1/+11Oh come on people, it's an Always Sunny joke!
- Pentatonic, on 02/02/2009, -1/+11what's so sick about eating raccoon? for most Americans, eating at fast food joints that offer up freeze dried, highly processed chemically preserved meat on the daily is the norm. i think i'll take my chances with the coon meat.
- drex8, on 02/02/2009, -3/+12I've heard squirrels taste nice.
- jotux, on 02/02/2009, -1/+10I wouldn't want to eat a raccoon. I hear their diet is full of penis.
(ref: http://austriantimes.at/index.php?id=10795) - snaglepuss, on 02/02/2009, -0/+9From the above article, "It is found in the intestines of raccoons".
So:
A) Don't eat the intestines
B) Cook it properly. - inactive, on 02/01/2009, -2/+10I was think just the opposite.
- inactive, on 02/02/2009, -1/+9It's always sunny
- FI5HERMAN, on 02/01/2009, -5/+13Sorry..... your welcome to my share !!!
- icefairy17, on 02/02/2009, -1/+9DUGG! I thought that the second I saw the name of the article :)
- ShrimpCrackers, on 02/02/2009, -0/+8Although not reported in the Western media, it was another thing alongside dog meat that they stopped serving during the Olympics.
No one seemed to care about all the pirated DVD's though openly sold in China's big box stores though. - skiiper, on 02/02/2009, -2/+10Stop. What do you mean "coon"?
- D0m0kun, on 02/02/2009, -1/+7Because they're smarter than most dogs and cats, that's why.
"In a study by the ethologist H. B. Davis in 1908, raccoons were able to open 11 of 13 complex locks in less than 10 tries and had no problems repeating the action when the locks were rearranged or turned upside down. Davis concluded that they understood the abstract principles of the locking mechanisms and that their learning speed was equivalent to that of rhesus macaques.[60] Studies in 1963, 1973, 1975 and 1992 concentrated on raccoon memory and have shown that they can remember the solution to tasks for up to three years.[61] In a study by B. Pohl in 1992, raccoons were able to instantly differentiate between identical and different symbols three years after the short initial learning phase." - ShrimpCrackers, on 02/02/2009, -1/+7Cause they're sooo cute. The article has it right. But I'd try one anyway.
Raccoons actually thrive when humans are around unlike most other species. - LoneWolf01, on 02/02/2009, -0/+6"Roadkill Diner: From your grill, to ours."
- Phasmorphage, on 02/02/2009, -2/+7I'd imagine it'd taste like whatever you had for dinner last night, after it goes through your garbage...
- 1337d00d, on 02/02/2009, -0/+5you kill it, we grill it
- Enept, on 02/02/2009, -0/+5Key phrase there, "hot or freezing weather." Not temperatures but weather. Hot weather generally refers to 100-110 or so. You're going to cook something like that at 145 minimum, and going by how the guy in the article cooked it, I'm sure it exceeded that easily.
- burjzyntski, on 02/02/2009, -0/+5They used to come into our garage and remove the weights that we used to hold the cat food cooler closed.
I once saw three of them arranged vertically, on top of each other, Three Stooges-like, in order to reach a bird feeder that was otherwise too high.
You wont see cats or dogs doing this.
They're crazy smart. - daisymeme, on 02/02/2009, -0/+5I read "Rascal", by Sterling North, when I was a child. I could never hurt a racoon.
http://www.amazon.ca/Rascal-Sterling-North/dp/0140 ... - oboogie227, on 02/02/2009, -1/+6dugg for getting me to try *****.net
- geezshock, on 02/02/2009, -3/+8will it blend ?
- ShrimpCrackers, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4Awww. Is that cute picture the raccoon in question? Good on the raccoon too.
- bitterbug, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4I highly recommend the TV series "Bizarre Foods" with Andrew Zimmern. (Check the usual places). Some foods seem downright disgusting, but occasionally you'll find yourself wondering what it might be like to try some of the food they're sampling. It's a heck of a learning experience about the food of other cultures.
- yayster, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4But so greasy!
- TheKillDoctor, on 02/02/2009, -0/+4because they have opposable thumbs.
- absolutelytrue, on 05/26/2009, -2/+6Clever!
