Hi All,

A coworker brought some muskrat into the station tonight. Said a friend fixed it and refused to eat it... of course I try anything. It was good. I was very impressed. It was rare and seemed to almost melt in my mouth. Is that because it's fatty?

I just googled muskrat to see what it looks like.

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin the town and doin it right
In the evenin
Its pretty pleasin

Muskrat susie, muskrat sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And sammys so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin on cheese
Sammy says to susie honey, would you please be my missus?
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now hes ticklin her fancy
Rubbin her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

That is the driest muskrat I have ever seen. Also the most stuffed!:)
 
Muskrat is good, as is racoon but my favorite is whistle pig (groundhog).

Yeah, I'm a hillbilly. But I do eat good.

I grew up in Pa. shooting woodchucks. The young ones from the alfalfa fields were especially good. The old ones were like old squirrels, required more cooking finesse to keep them tender. They used to get huge, I'm thinking around 15 to 20 lbs. But I was a kid then, everything seemed bigger:) .

Well muskrat fur is good for tying "Adams" dry flies. But eat it?...I haven't and frankly, would rather not, and I'm no "prude".....but when "RAT" seems to be the "mostly part" of the noun, I'd rather not.....

When you can cook up a good "hot-dog" on the grill, why muskRAT?

Have a great 4th!

Muskrats are just small beavers with a bad tail...:)
 
There's nothing better to eat than a beaver!

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

Cheers, Acolyte.
 
I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to trying strange foods, but I also think I'll pass on this one.

(Had no problem chowing down alligator, snails, rattlesnake, buffalo, octopus, calves' brains, pig tails, eels - but I wouldn't eat red beets if you paid me! :eek: )
 
Well, if they had muskrats down here...

Can't be stranger than lark tongues, can it?
