We were po’ folks when I was growing up in rural Louisiana, so our mealtimes depended heavily on just about anything that walked, crawled, hopped, swam or flew. Quail, squirrels, rabbits, fish and frogs were staples, along with doves, robins, blackbirds, ducks, crawfish, etc. Once someone persuaded my dad that cooked just right chicken hawk was delicious. I have to assume that my dad's leg was being pulled, but he went out and bagged one. Momma cooked the thing in a pan of cornbread dressing. It was so gamy none of us could eat it. Even ruined the dressing.
Never ate coon or possum. Didn’t eat deer because in the late 40s, early 50s, there weren’t any---they were just beginning to reestablish the deer populations. However, there was another creature that was only then beginning to move into our part of the country, the armadillo. Here again, somebody told my dad they were good to eat, so one day soon he brought one home and shelled it out. Momma dutifully cooked it up, and guess what? It was delicious. Really did taste like chicken….and pork…..and beef. Later we heard that armadillos carried leprosy or some such, so we dropped the dillers from our diet.
