I’ve never eaten raccoon, but I’ve talked to people who have. The biggest complaint by far* was the very ‘gamy’ taste of second-hand…Well, it’s better not to think of what those giant garbage eaters have been fattened up on. So, I was talking with a carnivore friend in Boulder, and we discussed whether raccoon meat would make good bacon. It’s already strongly-flavored, and very greasy, and all the chemical curing and salting would help finish off their creepy parasites, such as tapeworm.
*They complained of the taste, and not about what raccoons eat?
My friend just wanted the scandal of going out for brunch in Boulder and ordering two sides of Raccoon Bacon.
