Coon

[yeehaw]

Has anybody here eaten coon? I never have, but heared it's good. By the way i hit one on the way to school today. And put it in the back of my truck, and set it behind a kids tire.

Ain't never tried it myself, don't see many coons around here, sides, they're cute with those little bandit masks. But here's a couple recipes if you should care to try one next time you hit a coon or possum.

Take the coon or possum and put it into a 1 gallon Zip lock bag. Add 1/4 cup of Dales Sauce. If not available just add Kikoman, Worcheshire, and seasoning salt. Also add two tablespoons of meat tenderizer (unseasoned). Let the carcass sit in the mixtur e for at least 8 hours. When you remove the critter from the bag the meat is ready to cook.

Stewed coon or possum
Add 1 gallon water, 1 stick butter, garlic to taste, and two tablespoons salt, and onions. After cooking at a boil for 1 1/2 hours the meat will fall off the bone. Remove bones and serve with wild rice.

To smoke coon or possum
You will need a smoker or a grill where you can cook the coon or possum very slow. In your smoker put a double handful of charcoal in the smoker and add lighter fluid. Let the lighter fluid stand for 10 minutes. Then light the fire and add several hick ory or pecan wood chunks (more wood than charcoal). Let this fire burn for at least 30 minutes before adding any meat. The wood chunks have to be on fire and the smoke coming from the smoker should be nearly invisible. Add the Coon or possum and let it cook for 30 minutes to and hour based or the heat of your fire. Then here is the secret. Take the carcass off the grill and wrap it in Aluminum foil tight. Don't let any holes get in the Aluminum foil. The fire should still be hot. If the fire is going out add more wood if not you need to do nothing. The coon will be ready in about two hours when you can twist the bones and they break loose. Don't get the fire too hot. The animal must cook fairly slow that first hour to hold in juices. Don't do this unless you have four hours to Kill.

when i was pregant with my son I was cooking one and about the time that the smell was starting to linger in the house I had to leave (I started getting sick) but when I had come back home there wasnt a shred of meat in site Shoot the kids were fighting over it so appearantly it wasnt too bad that was the one and only time that it had been cooked around here

I remember eating coon and it was good. It is kinda like eating rabbit or squirrel...but I don't want to eat oppusum!

Yee-haw watch out hitting those coons they will do some damage to the car! First the water pump and then the passenger side mirror

HEY CUPCAKE HOW COME YOU LISTEN TO A TOTAL STRANGER AND NOT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY? WE HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU TO WEAR YOUR GLASSES FOR A LONG TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU HIT ME WITH YOUR CAR WHEN I WAS GETTING MAIL OUT OF MY MAIL BOX (PERSONALLY I WOULD RATHER YOU HIT THE MAIL BOX )

[CuPcAkE]

See, it must be the mail boxes...or maybe it is the pedestrians... I have hit a few of them

I tried coon in home-ec in school. Big Earl S. an Jan an John barbqued one. Wernt half bad.

Also, I just talked to a Alabama preacher over the weekend an he said ya take yer possum an put it inna cage an feed it corn for bout four days to fatten it up an rid it of impurities. Then be sure an get ALL the fat off it. Then boil the piss outta it an skim off anymore fat there mite be that floated up. He said ya gotta get ALL the fat or it dont taste good. Otherwise it aint bad.
