I believe most communities in the south had that sales area, up till about 5 years ago there was a commercial meat market in a town south of us that sold all sorts of wild meat, same conditions, had to have feet attached.  Health folks finally shut em down.

........ if it was already skint you had to leave one foot attached to prove it wasn't a cat.

Couple years back I was helpin' a buddy collect a car dat had been stolen and recovered by da police. It had been found, missing a few pieces, out da back of one of da locations of a local chain of all you can eat Chinese buffet restaurants.

While we was winchin' da car up onta da trailer a cat came runnin' past us like somebody had put turpentine in his Preperation H creme.  About a minute later a coupla da cooks came out da back door fer a smoke break, without missin a beat my buddy looks up at dem and says "He went dat a way just a second ago, if'n ya run yer likely ta still git him, but hurry!!!".   

Da cooks wazn't sure what in da heck he was talkin about, but one a da policemen had ta sit down a spell he was laughin so hard. 

I don't eat der no more, jus can't bring m'self ta do it.

Can't be no worst than the cabbage soup with aphids floating on top. Them aphids musta been used as spice, like black pepper only got a honey dew taste.

Good going Stew.  Dang, Dang.  That comment about the unskint foot attached sure was visual...............   Or, maybe the attached foot was skint, too....

Pickled pigs feet.

There are other things I know that you wouldn't care to know how I know.

There was some talk earlier today on another thread, about shipping a wayward raccoon to Texas for the purpose of human consumption.  It brought to mind an old tradition hereabouts, involving the sale of those animals in certain areas of town.  Folks in that neigborhood would give you $5 for one, but if it was already skint you had to leave one foot attached to prove it wasn't a cat.

DANG;
I have rentals and am always catching Possums in a live trap. The local Animal control will not take them and I got caught serving them to the gators in the back park [hey what can I say] So anyway now I take them to the other side of the tracks where they appear to be a highly sought dish. I watched them "prep" one once, squirted lighter fluid on him in a metal trash can and lit him off. Very effective hair remover. After the hair was gone one bystander pulled his Glock and bang. Served with sweet potatos ans green peppers with some kind of sauce. Before anyone asked NO I didn't partake.
