Look who honoured me with a visit :)

[Erich]

I've heard it's quite tasty with a side dish of pasta and a nice hearty green salad. Make sure you have a large glass of Wine to wash the scales down .....

Wine? I was thinking a Pitcher of Easy Street Amber Ale....

 

[Erich]

Rülps !! (Burp !)

[Maestro]

looks heavily armored doesn't it ? wonder what it tastes like in a soup.....

We got something similar in Canada... Except they are a lot bigger (the size of a beaver) and looks cuter. That specy is protected by Canadian laws. (In other words, if you kill one without any reason, you could get into troubles.)

The reason why it is a protected specy is because that is an animal that can save lives... I mean, if your lost in a forest with nothing to eat, you can easily kill one and eat it. That kind of meat doesn't need to be baked. I wonder what it taste, though.

Here are two pictures of a "Porc-Épic".

 

[Erich]

try pulling those creepy quills out before you roast that critter friend, can tell you they are a fat pain in the butt and the meat is tough, probably since we overcooked the little rascal, and dang no side dish either

 

[Pisis]

uh oh...

Heh. Ever drive along a New Brunswick highway at night?

Dead porcupine...dead pocupine...dead porcupine...MOOSE!!! ...dead porcupine...

 

[Maestro]

Yeah... it's quite the same thing here. But I think that law doesn't include "road accidents".

No seriously, if someone catch you hunting porcupines, you can get into troubles.

 

[Nonskimmer]

No doubt.

In Nova Scotia it's more like: Dead raccoon...dead raccoon...dead porcupine...abandoned car...
Still got the moose too.

 

[Erich]

that is an interesting thought gents. back in my wooded area the things are kinda of a novelty but if they dig any garden up it is going to be porcupine pie and no-one will be held accountable

 

[plan_D]

That's odd, NS 'cos driving through South Yorkshire you see: Abandoned car ....abandoned car ....burnt out car ....rubbish ....abandoned car ....crashed car ....rabbit ....and if you're lucky ....dead scumbag.

 

[Pisis]

I see dead birdies very often.....

 

[lesofprimus]

I have to agree with erich... I have also eaten porcupine out in the field, and its quite tough and tastes pretty bad.....

However, in a pinch, u can use one of the smaller quills as a suture needle....

 

[Erich]

good point Les on the needles. we even used them as tie offs. small they were and flexible we would tie 4-6 of them together, just watch out for the sharp ends. Great little patch/string and thread items they were, easily woven for whatever. then that stupid heavy body to get rid of or I should say the skin-carcass

 

[lesofprimus]

The first time I met a porcupine in the wild, I sat there listening to the wierdest sound Ive ever heard, for 5 minutes or so, before I was able to locate the prickly beast up in a tree...... The sound it made was almost like moaning....

I beaned it with 3 snowballs and knocked it to the ground.... Then I did a Steve Irwin on it....

 

[plan_D]

You did a Steve Irwin on it? You mean you stuck your thumb up it's arse to piss it off?

 

[lesofprimus]

Hehe, ur damn right.... I figured ur the only one who woulda picked up on that one pD....

 

[Wildcat]

LOL Steve Irwin, quite a character!

 

[lesofprimus]

But an even better South Park character....
