I've not tried anything like that but I did grow up eating moose and caribou, my family had rabbit once when I was quite young - once I found out it was rabbit I refused to eat it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476326456453144893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-18240920851887795372012-04-03T05:32:08.413-06:002012-04-03T05:32:08.413-06:00i would have to try it! i love interesting and di...i would have to try it! i love interesting and different meals. sounds like a fun time with friends! take care...Dawson Cattle Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848735176974605667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-12212015812856956902012-04-02T22:08:06.565-06:002012-04-02T22:08:06.565-06:00Tried AND enjoyed?

I've eaten rattlesnake in Texas and it was good.<br /><br />Just a few nights ago we went out for a night with friends and we had a ball. Lingered over dinner and spent time really talking. It meant the world to me.<br /><br />Love seeing the hummingbird feeder on your porch!<br /><br />Happy spring!<br />SSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-75310163449505948372012-04-02T17:24:29.873-06:002012-04-02T17:24:29.873-06:00Wow, you know what?

But now I don't know what happened to me I don't know if I would. <br />Weird isn't it. You know how at Halloween people are always making food that looks like fingers and eyeballs and stuff like that?<br />Well, I can't even look at it. :) I blame it on turning 50 I pass out at the sight of blood now too.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-88219515045254547632012-04-01T20:56:03.389-06:002012-04-01T20:56:03.389-06:00Bob gives you a thumbs up for being a good sport. ...Bob gives you a thumbs up for being a good sport.

I've never been to a place that had rattlesnake or rabbit on the menu. I've only been to one restaurant where the menu is created by a wonderful talented chef and they use local ingredients and have a garden on the grounds....needless to say...I love that place! But anyhow, I would definitely try the rabbit...but being as it was sausage and the rabbit and rattlesnake was intertwined....hmm? yes I would have to say, I would ponder for a minute...I would really want to try it...man, i just don't like snakes at all! However, I do pride myself on not being picky and someone who tries all foods...so, i guess I would try it. The rabbit part of it does not give me the chills...but the snake part of it does! ...makes me think that I would have nightmares of snakes all night. LOL! I like that you gave it a go. You're my kind of person!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485155713261218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-29651460284116158902012-04-01T09:44:26.556-06:002012-04-01T09:44:26.556-06:00You've made a good point about getting out, bu...You've made a good point about getting out, but you'll have to add me to the list of those who (I'm sorry) wouldn't try it--I really admire your adventurous palate though! :-) <br /><br />The oddest food I've ever had was whale-blubber when we lived in Alaska--I've never forgotten the texture and how I needed a glass of water to get the one bite I had, down...I'm a meat and potatoes gal through and through! :-))!!!~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-69391632035297907112012-04-01T06:00:32.270-06:002012-04-01T06:00:32.270-06:00I am very scared of snakes and would never try it....I am very scared of snakes and would never try it...even though the snake dead, I someone couldn't do it.

I'd had to pass, but it's because I'm a vegetarian not because it sounds strange. I do wholeheartedly agree about spending time with friends. We had the pleasure of having one of our daughter's friends stay with us last night; she was in Seattle for a conference. Good friends are the heartbeat of our souls. <3SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263263554924074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-21561809725591182452012-03-31T20:58:31.704-06:002012-03-31T20:58:31.704-06:00My feet are lifting up off the floor just reading ...My feet are lifting up off the floor just reading this I am not a huge snake fan,<br />My aunt tricked me into eating chocolate covered crickets once.

But I'm glad you did! :) I can't say what the oddest thing I've tried would be, since I tend to stick to the "safe" stuff.
