Breaking the Summer Monotony

In Wisconsin, we always checked the liver to see if it was spotted, if it was we discarded the rabbit as contaminated with disease.

Folks like squirrel stew, so I figure that rabbit stew oughta be good eating.

Would people still like Brunswick Stew if they knew the history?

I do the same, I have tossed a rabbit or two that had a few spots. Only one I was really concerned about though.

Where do you hunt Brunswicks?







Sorry; couldn't resist.

The balut turned out to be a bust. They were just un-fertilized duck eggs. Must have been a communication issue at the Asian market, my buddy said the guy didn't speak English.

Seems like a cop out to me Jake. You were ordering the food in their native language. Unless you said "Fertilized Duck Egg" in English, Balut should still mean Balut.

Calf fries, mountain oysters, whatever you choose to call 'em,

Haha. Well actually...wasn't me ordering it so I don't know... but it's called different things in different countries. Balut is the Phillipino word?? Must not have been a Phillipino he was talking to. I dunno, but I guess neither balut nor fertilized duck egg were something the guy understood.

The eggs were rotten too, at least half of them. I was going to eat them, cracked open the rest and they reeked. But were without fetus.

Shouldn't turn down groundhogs. Fat is little musky smelling, but meat is good to eat. Boil, de-bone, then use in any beef recipe. Make good stews, or batter the cooked meat and fry chicken style with country gravy and biscuits.

They weren't Pidan instead of Balut were they?

 

[wankerjake]

Had to Google that one... I believe they were just rotten

In Manila, it was explained to me that Balut is a fertile duck egg, boiled maybe two or three days before it hatches. A Filipino delicacy.

Another delicacy is "dis-dis" (dees-dees). A minnow-sized fish, fried in coconut oil. (Smelly.) But, as one lady told me, "Oh, it has much calcium! Very good for the fingernails!"
