BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

Baked Silkie ... a bit too dark for a good pic. Cooked in orange juice, with cinnamon, ground cloves, and a touch of cayenne pepper.

Wow, are those bones black or blackened?

I've eaten black meat chickens in Vietnam, same place I ate monkey and dog. I would eat the chicken again under the same circumstances (as guest to indigenous person) but I wouldn't order it from a menu...especially if the cost was much higher than regular chicken. I don't remember it being especially bad....or good but I do remember it being hotter than hell!!!

I'll betcha if you ate a black meat chicken in Vietnam it wasn't a Silkie. Good chance it was one of those Quaib Hmong birds.

Quote: Thanks for the pic. It definitely answers my questions. I don't think I am adventurous enough, food wise, (yet) for the FM birds.
Still think they are cool though.

And does dog taste like baer?

Taste like bear? I guess it does, a little bit. I'm not overly excited about either one but it would beat starvation.

I feel certain the Donner party would have slurped down a few dogs, including skin or something like 6 or 8 big grizzly bear would have seen them through the winter without them having to gnaw on boiled boot or shall I say...bunda humana.

I was jest wondering because I always hear people talk down about eating dogs and cats
But I was in cadets my parents wanted me to learn some survival skills after going on a 14 hour hike with only me a hachet and the dog Sally so the local police department was called and after I was found I was told that I was not allowed to go for walks without proper training I was 12 at the time after that I was put through some real hard situations like one of them was a 4 day exercise with only a cantine of water a knife and a tarp I'm not going to lie when I say I can still taste the roots and bugs that kept me going I only wish I had something nice to eat like ants or ferns or a dog but in the state I was in I would of been hard pressed to pet a dog let alone eat one
And on the Brite side of things I always finish my plate at super

The bones are black, even before cooking.

Animals are made out of meat and meat is food. Everything has it's own way that it needs to be prepared. Some people talk about how bad bear is, the same people will go to a picnic and scarf down every last bit of bear I bring. Bear is good, if you know how to cut it.

I eat bobcat all the time. The best meat that there is, hands down. Don't know about domestics. but if I had to, I definitely would keep an open mind toward it. A friend's dad who grew up in the depression remembers eating skunk, as well as owl. Said the skunk meat was greasy, but edible. They had already gotten past the smell, they dug them out of the ground and skinned them anyway, the money for skunk pelts was one of the only sources of income they had. All these kids today whining about how hard they have it, and they don't know what hard times even look like. That is most of our problem, I think. Peoples minds open up when they stare at harsh reality long enough. Makes priorities change.

Tastes like frog legs. Actually frog legs are tastier and tenderer. White meat of gator taste like chicken. I prefer the dark meat, don't know to describe it, just has more flavor, guess it tastes like gator. I'll be picking up 5-10lbs in a couple weeks, just depends on how much $ I want to blow.

I think it depends very much on how you where raised. My parents had more money than time so I was feed on a lot of processed crap and fast food. Most nights I ate something different than they did. Not because it was better for me but because it made it easier for them. I don't blame them too much though because the where fully indoctrinated consumers.

Now at (lets just go with over 40) I have been able to reeducate myself as to what food is and what the real cost of having food is. And yes My mind has opened up significantly and my priorities have changed. I am not content to be a consumer as my parents were. I am working hard t'word being a producer, even if it is only for me and mine. I still have a "comfort zone" when it comes to food and I am stretching it slowly. But...

I can honestly say there is no creature on earth that is going to watch any of my loved ones starve to death.
