Zebra tongue is highly prized for its "medicinal" purposes when
consumed in various forms. It boosts your libido and sexual
prowess at least 20-fold (conservative). Which may partially
explain the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

This was harvested on Thursday, and they're peeled while at the
height of rigor. You can't cook them with the skin on and peel
later (unless you have TIAD) as they have certain tongue
enzymes(*) that smell and taste like shit when they are killed
from the cooking. And they're near impossible to skin economically
for sale post-rigor and still raw. So They're peeled en rigor and
usually only presented at "special occasions" due to the
extra-timely care and special handling (for African "Standards").

If you get a personal invitation to a dinner party that mentions
Zebra Tongue as one of the final courses (in anywhere but
Eestawani) YOU GO. You would be remiss in not going and an insult
the host for turning down such a personal honor.

.... But still take a few dozen condoms and gallon+ of lube because
you're gonna get laid. Sure, you say it won't happen for 3
dozen reasons <yawn>. But it will (and about 3 dozen times).

Rather than personally inviting y'all and putting you on the spot
like that, you can just show up at 7:30PM on Wednesday for an
automatic, unconditional invitation Wednesday @ 7:30PM for you and
another guest that is of the genuine physical opposite sex as
yourself (no "Identifies as..." bullshitlshit - this aint gonna be
no homo clam jam, sausage fest, or Jack-in-The-Box reveal party).

See some of you then! (or forever hold your peace).

It sure looks yummy. Is there a good market for that in your area? I'm
thinking if you franchise, I'd want the St. Louis area, know it would be
a big seljer there.

These TX "Hunting Ranches" are for pussies - especially non-native
species. True wild hog hunting is free (if you know somebody or
their neighbor with land) and is sporting and useful since they're
a nuisance most places.

And there's also bare knuckle alligator wresting to the death.
Technically on commercial "resort" ranches just for hunting, but
still very sportsman-like and they're native species.

But Texas Zebra? Not so much.

Are they breeding zebra (and African antelopes etc) for
that purpose ?

they're always open season here but i've not seen
any around our neighborhood. a few miles away someone
bagged a 300+lb boar.

i think most of them were escapees that went feral.

They are a nuisance everywhere.  They are free to hunt here.  That place
has kangaroo to hunt.  I wonder what they taste like?

Evidently.  And a lot more species.

not likely i'll ever eat meat from a wild pig, but
i do like it fairly well done to the dark side so
that's also a plus.

trichinosis is pretty rare these days.

I'm not going to look it up, but I venture to guess that trichinosis is
only rare in farm-raised animals. It was never prevalent, but if you
want to get it, wild pigs would be a great way to start your journey.

Technically they are "farm-raised" so they can be sold retail as
food or for hunting. Or both. I only know of one ranch that
raises them just for meat. They also do horses for harvest only.

But "Horse hunting" is about as sporting as hunting zebra. Tehy
call them wild, but they'd both be partially domesticated as
humans would still supply much of their food on most any Texas
ranch.

I "rescued" some wild boar.....sausage (heh) from the food bank.
Itt was donated from a processor that had a game processing
permit, but the food bank is only allowed to accept deer meat
from them, not boar. So we had to throw it out. Almost 75 lbs of
it, 48 1.5lb chubs, 12 to a box. So I threw it out. Then I said
fuck that and then grabbed the 700 lb bin of trash and took it the
compacter and put one box (18lbs) just outside around the corner
(it was Saturday, only us volunteers there and 2 staffers). Picked
it up after the shift.

Best Breakfast Sausage I Ever Had. And for 3 months! It was
sicking how much perfectly good food we had to throw away due to
all sorts of bogus reasons. And stuff we SHOULD throw away, gets
distributed (but it doesn't get by me and anybody else I see
passing it).

I almost quit my first day as I had throw a whole frozen pig away.
I almost refused and just walked out with it on principle. The
reason it had to be thrown away was because it didn't have a label
saying what it was and an ingredient statement. I was floored.

It doesn't exist in any pig populations here anymore (last I
heard). The only reported cases came from bear meat. And maybe a
few raccoons or armadillos thrown in there for shits and giggles.

I meant to ass that the USAD requires all retail meat be farm
raised. But many of the ranches offer "wild" hunting. So they
straddle the fine legal line between "wild" and "farm-raised".
Many hunters don't want their meat, just a head and/or hide for
bragging rights (fuckers!). So it's then often sold retail. At
whcih time it must be claimed as farm-raised (but yesterday it was
"wild", uh-huh).

BTW: That wasn't a zebra tongue. That was the other half of the
monkfish fillet I posted a week or two ago. Just seeing if anybody
was awake (y'all failed).

We did still have an RFC orgy, though (you know who you are
<wink>). We really had steamed unicorn horns - flown in fresh from
Atlantis. Even *more* powerful than zebra tongues.

Armadillos can carry leprosy.  I've seen those bastards run around my
property in central FL.  I've got a nice pellet gun to take care of that.

They're pretty tough. You'll have to get close and do a head
shot with a pellet gun. Maybe get a mount for a small flash
light too, since they are mostly nocturnal.

I use a .22 rifle, but I'm in the country.

I have 5.25 acres but can't shoot a real gun dues to the HOA - long
story.  One night, we were at the campfire and I hear a load noise in
the saw palmettos near us.  There have been bear and panthers spotted in
the area so I grabbed my flashlight and my .40 pistol to investigate. 
It was a tiny armadillo.  Those things are almost blind and can really
make a lot of noise.

Yeah. They usually move real slow too. But I've seen them take
off and run fast as lightning when spooked. They can make a lot
of noise in a brushy area.

They are possums wearing body armor. Disgusting creatures.
