What's the worst tasting thing you've eaten?

[CoryTDF]

In my group of friends we have now started a challenge in which I am to eat both Coyote and Opossum.

Cory, you have to let me know when this happens.  I should be able to supply the yote meat this weekend.

Doesn't sound so bad. What sauce do you plan to serve with them? Side dishes? fricassee or roasted? Maybe stew? I bet they're not half bad if you take care to thoroughly cook them. There are people from a few Asian cultures who wouldn't turn away from them for sure.

Ever eat a SlimJim?  I love pepperoni and teriyaki sticks, but had never tried a SlimJim until a few years ago.  Oh my gosh are those things horrible!  After a week in the woods I still couldn't get that thing past the tonsils    Had to go back into the store to buy some milk to clear the taste from my mouth!  Can't believe they have been on the market as long as they have been.


As far as MRE omlettes...I sort of like them.  Once I no longer expect them to be like a real omlette they are rather tasty.  Guess I'm that "One Guy" Pathfinder talked about

I loved rattlesnake. I killed one downrange at Ft. Carson, got some flour, cornmeal, salt & pepper, and oil from the cook tent and fried it up in my mess kit. Tasted great. Killed a prairie chicken with a rock once, too and ate that. No one in that med battalion ever messed with me because they thought I was crazy. They were the crazy ones eating those C-Rats when I ate squab and fresh snake.

My snake experiences have been good ones too.  Pepper seems to be the key ingredient for me.  Just matched perfectly with the viper meat.  Possum on the other hand...never had a good possum.

Worst thing I have ate was a 100% ground bear cheese burger. No fat, just lean ground meat. Second would have to be a merganser

Wow!  You must have gotten some bad bear.  Only problem I have with bear burgers...I never seem to make enough

Maybe I can include something that I tasted but didn't actually eat. I was trapping in OR and the beaver and muskrat there just chow down on tule rushes. They get fat like no place else I have seen them so the tules have to be good to eat, right?
They have big meaty roots that look like they should be good so I decided to cut off a piece and try it. Just a tiny piece and I can spit it out if it tastes bad, right!
Oh my God! There is nothing in this world that is as bitter as the 1 second of that root in my mouth. I didn't even chew it. I was constantly spitting and trying to wash my mouth out for the entire day.
Anyone ever try wild cucumbers? They are bitter but child's play compared to tule.
Quinine? Pshaw!

If you cook a possum I would strongly suggest par-boiling it first to render as much grease out of it as possible.  The fat on those things is pure nasty.  The meat was kind of like rabbit.  But overall, not so good.

You let me know if its worse than that rock chuck...

Any anyone who didn't like rattlesnake must have cooked it wrong.  I have never had a bad one.   
Same survival training as those two, we ate a bunch of cattail stalks, not the part above the water, but the part underneath.  Tasted like cucumber.

Yeah let me know I need a fresh one. This plan cam up after the 4 I shot last weekend went to the fur guy.

In the book 12 Years a Slave Solomon Northup says that " Nothing in the world of butcherdom is as sweet as that of roasted opossum". Or something to that effect. Ever since I read that I have wanted to give it a go. I made the mistake of saying so in front of my buddy after a few to many beers.

Rock Chuck is just plain awful! They taste like they smell and are so nasty to clean. The snake was just fine as I remember and the cattail was just good. Sage berries on the other hand "YUK" and the little maggot inside does nothing for the flavor.

All in all i'm not looking forward to eating any of these nasty beasts but my manhood was called to question so like all idiots before me i have to stand up and pound my chest. I am all that is man.

Make sure before you eat that oppossum you chase it around with a knife for a while so it can squirt green, rotten goo everywhere...
Maybe you should try subjecting yourself to slavery for 12 years and surviving on cornmeal mush twice a day.  I'll bet oppossum would be rather delectible after that.
