« on: September 18, 2015, 07:40:48 AM »
I was curious a buddie of mine got a cougar yesterday while elk hunting with the bow I tasted cougar meat before at outdoor event before it was ok really couldn't taste it because it was soaked in sweet n sour sauce does anybody have any recipes to cook it where to find one at or if it's even worth trying to eat it? If u have tried cougar meat what were ur thoughts on it

We used it in stir fry, soy sauce, green peppers, mushrooms over white rice.

Also used it with cream of mushroom soup over white rice.

It almost tastes like a mix of chicken, pork and beef.  Mostly like pork and chicken mix.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

The cat I tried once was real strong flavored. I'd try it again to see if it was just that cat being strong? Lots of folks eat them and really enjoy the other white meat. :tup:

The one guy I know that shot one made it all into pepperoni.  It was really good, and very lean.

 :yeah: Any pork loin recipe will work great for the backstraps.  I just ground the rest for burger when I had access to one for the meat.  You could probably make a decent ham out of the hind quarters.

It's really good as a breakfast sausage, or you can cook it in with hobo hash and it's tasty  :drool:
