Have you ever cooked small game animals?

So far as I know I've never even had venison.. but I'm not against trying it. I don't know any hunters. My brother used to hunt, but I don't recall him ever bringing anything home. Good luck, hope your hubby brings home something good!

yes, I ate rabbit as a child. I grew up with food rationing after WW11. I don't remember how it tasted but I remember eating it. Then there was a disease that affected rabbit in the U.K. and almost decimated the population. It was called mixymitosis - or something like that, 'so we were told not to eat rabbits as they may be affect3d by this disease. It would be a cold day in hell before someone got me to eat squirrel

hi 3 snugglebunnies oh my they used to bring pheasant and eat it but 'I hated the taste and wild duck made me really sick. And rabbit no no no okay for others but for me it wou ld really turn me vegetarian if I had to eat that stu ff,Oh you would remember it had you ate any as its sort of slimy.ugh ugh ugh.yuck.

I have cooked rabbit & squirrel. My ex was a hunter. If u get young game i like them fried just like chicken. I think them very good altho i haven't had any in years.

I don't see the days away, when I may even read "how to cook a new born human". Oh Jesus, you left and so your preachings.

I don't think that I've ever eatten any small game. That isn't to say that I haven't ever been tricked into something and not knowing what it was. However, there is one thing that is for sure, I know that if my husband was ever to decide to take up hunting, I wouldn't be cooking the meat unless he had done the cleaning. I watched a deer get done once and that was as much as I could handle. If I ever see a deer gutted again in my life, it will be too soon.

When I was much younger we would eat small game animals that my uncles would shoot. I have eaten venison as an adult. I know at about eleven I enjoyed squirrel and dumplings. Not sure I would now.

I also have a hunter,And secretly don't want him to get anything . But as you said when the fridge is empty ,I to might think about it differently. My gram use to make pheasant and rabbit pie,Though I honestly don't remember eating it.Nor do I remember eating deer meat but have been told ,I did.Hunter are very serious about hunting and nothing is more exciting than to get something.I am not a big meat eater but would probably try to make it for hubby,And try it for his happiness. I would never eat a squirrel,They are rodents who are very unsanitary (IMHO). You should try if he is willing to clean it. Free population control, that makes a man happy.What could be better.

I've eaten rabbit - not bad, very lean

I grew up on wild game because we were poor, although we kids didn't know it at the time. We though everyone's daddy went hunting and their moms had vegetables gardens and canned stuff! It's delicious and so much better for you than the hormone and chemical laden meat we get now in the supermarket. I remember my mother soaking the rabbit meat for hours before cooking it into a stew. That was because rabbit was "gamey" whatever that meant. She usually cooked rabbit and squirrel into soups and stews while pheasants were cooked similar to chickens and served with her canned green beans and potatoes--yummy!! Venison was in the freezer all winter and she was very creative with that, making a type of stroganoff among other dishes.

When I was a kid my dad used to hunt rabbit and squirrel. I know that my mom fried them and I know that I ate them. I haven't cooked either one since becoming an adult, but since I have hunters in the family I do cook wild game. I like pheasant. I filet it off the bone and deep fat fry it. We eat a lot of venison. I usually mix ground beef with ground venison and make hamburgers. I usually cook a venison roast in a crock pot with french onion soup. It is really good. I also cook venison steak on the grill or fried. I cannot make myself eat "Rocky Mountain" oysters though. I know thats not wild game, but my brain just won't let me get past what it is. I guess its all just what you are used to.

I have cooked deer steaks and deer burger. But, I remember my grandma cooking all of the smaller stuff. My grandpa use to love to hunt. So, I was able to try and eat, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, and an occasional frog leg. Which is good if they are cooked right. My grandma fixed raccoon for Christmas one year. She cooked it like you would cook beef roast. And, as a matter of fact, it did taste a lot like beef roast. But, it wasn't. It was good.
