Go West Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Thanks for sharing. I was thinking the meal around the campfire in Blazing Saddles was pretty common among the cowboys of the day.
Subdeacon Joe Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Other than skunk there wasn't anything weird.

From a diet too high in protein and too low in fats and carbs. "Rabbit fever" is a disease caused by Francisella tularensis.
Pat Riot Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Well, I ever get transported back in time I plan to not ask what I am eating and thank the cook with a smile.
Subdeacon Joe Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I liked how he went on about the calves foot jelly, and the comment about Jell-o not being around. Wonder where he thinks the "jell" in Jell-O comes from.

Except when you're trying to keep him out of the garden.

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Shanley knew a guy who ate nothing but wild game he got. Healthy , but skinny. He went in for a check up, and Dr. prescribed that he had, HAD to take in some FAT!!! His body fat was at 3%!!!

watab kid Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 as a kid i was warned of tularemia and trichinosis with regard to what we might hunt/harvest , it was not an idle concern in my family as we often ate wild game ,
Ozark Huckleberry Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Funny thing is there's people who don't think twice about eating a hot dog would watch the video and think, 'Eww.'
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 My grandmother once told me, when she was a girl, they made flour out of the mesquite beans, that grew on the mesquite trees. My grandmother also liked to eat clabber. I saw her eat that a many a time. No thank you!!! The video forgot to mention frog legs, but, like as not, in a lot of the places the cowboys worked, there may have not been a lot of ponds, or lakes, around for frog legs....or crawfish, either, for that matter. Just because those old cowboys may have smelled like a skunk, doesn't mean they had to eat one. I'd vote for a liberal socialist democrat, before I'd eat a skunk! I may be wrong, but I don't believe a skunk has a split hoof, or chews a cud.

Joke 'um Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Compliments to all for not mentioning the Donner party.

I have gotten my fanny warmed several time for not thanking my Mother for a meal. Simply was not done.
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Donner Party?? Yep. I was just about to suggest, sometimes they were known to eat "other" pioneers. Yum.

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Not 'old West'...but back in the day. Papaw was born in a Tenessee Holler. Once they moved to Waxahachie, Tx...he still liked squirell hunting. During the Depression, momma said there was always meat on the table. (Something she kept true in our upbringing) Rabbit and Squirell were easy game. I still cringe when I recall her saying she and her two brothers fought over the squirell's head!!! More meat and the brain was sweet!!!
