Had somebody ask me yesterday if armadillos were edible. ???
My answer was a definite "Let me get back to you on that one".
Armadillos are about the only thing not eating my landscaping cactus & I don't know squat about them.
Anybody ???
Edible.........so-so..........vile ????

Saw Andrew Zimmerm eat one that was cooked in its own shell on 'Bizarre Foods'...I believe he was in Mexico at the time.

He said it tasted gamey even though the meat looked like the white meat of a chicken...don't know if I would touch the filthy critters...guess they carry leprosy???

They are edible and if prepared well not bad so I'm told. They do have the ability to carry leprosy. btw never ate one shot a few in Texas.

Put in 12 miles of fence several years ago on a local ranch....there were 3 Hondurans on the wire crew.....I shot a target of opportunity armadillo with my ackley.....after several of us examined the carcus I started to walk away....Louie(from honduras) stopped me and asked if I was going to keep it, my response was "NO"....he then asked if he could have it and began to tell me how good they were to eat....I took his word for it, but that as far as I got. he returned to work the next day and finished out the summer....so apparently YES, they are edible.

These critters were a complete mystery to me until I happened to be traveling through east Texas 10 or 12 years ago. The most common road kill was whitetail deer followed by armadillos.

Then, returning from Missouri 7 or 8 years ago I noticed they had more armadillos than east Texas! Then, passing through Oklahoma, the body count changed to various turtles!

I do take note of roadkill as a scouting tool.

I've never heard of any creature that was identified as a carrier of Leprosy, except Biblical references? There is no doubt that armadillos are one of the strangest animals on the planet, like Platypus and not very many others.

Many years ago, when my family used to venture south of the border, Tijuana, you could buy a stuffed armadillo in practically any shop, also a petrified Bull penis walking sticks. Who buys this shit?

Good hunting. El Bee

Food choices and the perceptions of them have always been interesting to me.
El Bee goes out to Brunch and orders lobster and he's a gentleman food connoisseur.
But let me be seen eating a plate of crawfish and I'm an inbred redneck.
Go figure.
