    Man they have " coon suppers" at a lot of the country churches around here. Most have now evolved into wild game suppers, but coon is still popular. Coon with sweet potatoes is one you see a lot.

    My uncle in Tennessee used to eat them every year when I was young.  They would catch one then feed it corn for a couple weeks before slaughtering it.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    When I lived in TN, our local kennel club-Tri-State Trail and Tree Dog Association- had a lot of meetings with food served. One was BBQ coon, I missed it, but was told the coon ran out before the chicken. I do not know the details.

    Folks...

    My grandad was a big coon hunter back when I was young..40-45+ years ago. I think he was even the president of the Kentucky Coonhunter's Assn, way back whenever.

    My grandma cooked coons pretty regularly during season. All I can remember is that she cooked it like a roast, with vegetables. I remember eating it and had no complaints. 

    I tried very hard to find her recipe, but my aunt told me it was probably just in her head, nothing written down.

    Let that be a reminder to us to leave our legacy in writing for future eggers....never know when a grandkid or great might start looking for one of our brisket recipes...."The Way I do it "!!!!!!!!

    Friend a t work is supposed to bring me one to experiment with...hopefully this week. I've searched and found 3 recipe/instructions that I intend to use as a guide, and go by.

    And yes...I'll record and post my process and results.
