    Never seen trash pandas cooked up before. Are they good? 
    It’s like anything else, if you like them they are good, if you don’t like them then no. To me they ain’t lobster, but they are pretty good.

    @SGH thanks for sharing this method and the cook! 
    Coon... now that's something I've never seen butchered and to be honest, I didn't even know people ate it. Those looked pretty big. How did you catch/kill them?

    My pleasure. I caught them in a dog less (leg hold) trap. If you look close at the one pic you can see the trap.

    several years ago, when working with the Boy Scouts, Had an old black man who worked for me and he loved cooking coon.  I ask him to fix one up for me and my son for a campout and he did.  when we got to camp area, on first night we would eat what we brought and set up tents.  My son and I laid the whole bbq coon out on table and ate some of it as sandwiches.   Several of the kids came by and ask what it was.  we said "a cat".  Uh uh was comments.  We told them to try it and they said NO!!.  I ate some more and said how good it was and they still said NO.  Son and I left to go help some of the newer campers set up tents and when we came back, coon was nothing but bones.  This started a tradition and from then on it was required that we bring a coon for first meal on campouts.

    Only person I know who ate coon would catch one and feed it corn/grain for a few weeks before slaughtering.  Said it helped the taste tremendously.  I took his word for it.
