I was taught...
« on: January 01, 2004, 05:42:37 PM »
Every since I was a toddler I was told to check the liver of ANY game taken. If the liver showed any spots or discoloration...don't eat it! Also I as told never take any game that didn't act right. As I sit here with a belly full of squirrel & quail, and a little deer jerkey to snack on , I want to ask if any of y'all was taught the same thing? This season I've thrown away a few tree rats that had spots on the liver. Now remember that my mom's family has been traced to East TN before 1776 and dad's family was here before white man got here. Is this a myth or have any of y'all heard of this practice???

Well, I was always taught that if you want your body to be able to have a strong immunity and fight off bad bacterias, ya's gotta expose yourself to em at some point and just suck it up. I think that's one reason I've always been for the most part healthy, cause of all that swimmin' we done when we was younguns down close to the nuclear plant.

One things fer sure, if we wasn't supposed to eat any game that didn't act right, we wouldn't never get to eat any skwerls. Them acurn crunchin' skwerls is a menace to society!

I'll have one fried and two with gravy PLEASE!  :lol:

My father always told me to be sure to check the liver on rabbits. I don't remember him saying  anything about other animals.

My father wouldn't take us for rabbits until after the first freeze. He said that some rabbits had worms or something like that and a good freeze would kill them off. I don't know how much truth there was to that. All of our other game we really didn't worry about to much. We just make sure that we cook it enough to kill any bacteria.
