bullmastiff 615 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 an old friend of mine hes 72 used to live in somerset/dorset not sure. he told me when he was invited to the big house for dinner he thought he was eatin good ham when the master of the house asked if he liked hes dinner he said yes .good because thats the badgers the farmworkers add dug on sunday morning how time as changed Maybe it's just a Somerset/Dorset thing then lol. Thats how you know when you've been in Somerset too long, Your wife, sister and daughter comes to less than three people and Old billy is more likely to be seen on a your plate than he is in the fields....

comanche 3,295 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've eaten badger and fox. Badger was ok . It had been prepared by my boss of the time's wife- who obviously knew what they were doing .It had been salted and smoked and to be honest was very similar to a bacon joint. On the same menu was squirrel and bacon pie - tasted like nutty bacon. The fox was of my own preparation . Might have been my lack of culinary skiulls but I opted to chop some haunch into cubes and stew it . Dry ,musty a bit too strong tasting for me even when boiled to utter tenderness.Probably fine in a survival situation but not for me Maybe I did it wrong. Badger fat was used for all sorts of things too . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BIG ZOOK 5 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Badger can be no worse than eating a mink .But we were young and tried living off the land 4 a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
