• Has to taste better then Spotted Owl.

• Those rascals.

  • If you're trying to get another pun thread going, you're off to a Rocky start.

• Admit it, you were just a little curious about the meat you ate in a Chinese restaurant....

  • King Pao Striped Chicken

• They all wear a mask so you can't tell which one you're looking at.

  • Just like doctors.

• eh...tastes like chicken...

  • Raccoon--the other white meat....

    • That would be ...Raccoon, The other, other white meat... :)

      • Haters, all of y'all. Raccoon is similar to cat and nutria. You need to skin it, debone it, beat it on a rock and then marinate it for at least 24 hours. Slow roasted over mesquite for 4-6 hours...

        • Just make sure they left a paw on so you know it's racoon.

        • Then throw that shit in the trashcan and go get some prime ribeye. :)

  • It's just like the dark meat of a chicken as a matter of fact, in Louisiana you don't ask till your through

• I don't see the problem. Raccoons are pests and if someone wants to take a few of them out of this world by eating them, more power to them.

  • I hate to do this but in every meat market in Riviera Beach, FL there's a sign that reads: Fresh Whole Coon $10. It's a sign of the times, when I was a kid coons were only fetching $5 each. SNAP cards are welcome of course. If you've ever been to Riviera Beach you will see why the shops all sell raccoon for meat. Personally, I hear armadillo is tastier, but apparently they also carry leprosy.

  • Being from the south, and knowing that southerners will eat almost anything edible, I have to say racoon meat is not too highly thought of.

    • Plus, raccoons carry rabies.
