Anyone ever eat porcupine, beaver or woodchuck? I was told woodchuck and beaver are good. I know its a random question but I am wondering about it, woodchuck and porcupine are unprotected in NY. I am by no means a picky eater and will try anything once

I'm afraid I am a typical American, with an aversion to eating non-domestic and non-game animals, and afraid to try exotic delicacies that are regularly eaten in foreign countries, esp. Asia.
A friend of mine likes to eat guava worms and chocolate-covered ants.
I would have a problem living off the land if I had to eat serpents and insects in the wild.
As a survivalist, I have many shortcomings.

99 Never say Never. As a child I was Flounder fishing. The bait we were using was Squid. He mused that it was amazing no one ever cooked this nice little piece of fish. My first thought was "not even if you bought me a Scwinn". Little did he relize that little by would grow up to marry a girl that not only knew how to cook it but would make it for Christmas Eve Dinner.
PS As far as worms go I never saw a person who turns down a free Tequila Shot. I guess it's all context. +1 for honesty

During the depression my father ate and enjoyed squirrel, rabbit, hares, possum, raccoon, grouse, hogs, wild turkeys and of course deer. They were subsistence hunters and if they could kill it my grandma could prep and cook it. He did tell me that they caught possums alive and fed them rice to "clean" them out. I think it made their meat less gamey. I suspect if they had porcupine and woodchucks they would have eaten them too.

In my neck of the woods growing up groundhogs were a normal fare. People canned them. I have eaten them many times. Just this past spring at the local church's wild game feed I ate barbecue groundhog and it was very tasty. Usually years ago it was boiled until done and then rolled in flour and fried in lard. This is how we ate it then and it was good. Groundhogs eat only plants. Whole lot cleaner than chickens and hogs.
