I had my own little beaver fest this weekend.

It was a buffet. All you can eat.

Ah yes...the rare, hairless beaver. A scientific wonder. A genetic mutation, I believe. Not much to look at...but much more desirable from a collector's standpoint

Well, a beaver in the hand is worth two in the ?

More Beaver this year

State Fair Time is approaching quickly.

I hope that they have a repeat of the tasty "Barbequed Beaver" again this year...

2010's was tasty.

Indiana state fair taste of the wild cookout

Barbecued beaver? Indiana State Fair crowd was game

Popular annual feast connects Hoosiers to the food chain

For those daring enough, the Indiana State Fair had some special treats Saturday.
Instead of the traditional elephant ear or turkey leg, fairgoers visiting the Department of Natural Resources building got to sample turtle soup, barbecued beaver and deer sausage.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be eating this today," said Kisha Marks, 34, Indianapolis. "But I'm so glad they gave people like me who aren't outdoorsy an opportunity to try this and see what Indiana has to offer."
The Taste of the Wild Cookout has become a staple at the fair since it was introduced about 20 years ago. About 2,000 people stand in line around the building during the first Saturday of the fair each year to savor meats they don't typically find in their grocery stores.
Phil Bloom, DNR's director of communications, said the tradition was started to connect urban residents with a side of hunting and fishing they might not appreciate: that food can be taken from the wild, and it can taste good.
But the reviews were mixed Saturday.
While Marks tended to like the turtle soup and barbecued beaver, saying it had a smoky taste similar to pulled pork, her daughter wasn't so sure.
Brittany Marks, 10, turned up her nose until Jim Mahoney, who prepares the barbecued beaver, persuaded her to give it a try.
"It was OK, but I wouldn't eat it again," she said.
Mahoney, 70, Columbus, spends late December through March trapping beavers. Following one simple rule -- whatever he kills, he eats -- Mahoney usually catches 15 to 20 a year and prepares five or six for the cookout.
He seasons the meat, puts it in big roasters and cooks it for five to six hours until the meat begins to fall off the bone. He then chills it, shreds the meat and cooks it again, adding the barbecue sauce to neutralize some of the "wild game taste."
"Most people don't know this, but it has been a food source of our country since the beginning," Mahoney said. "So having this opportunity to show this state there is some value in these animals is a tremendous thing.

flows past Beaver Falls and New Brighton. It joins the Ohio at Beaver and Rochester (flowing between these two cities) at the downstream end of a sharp bend in the Ohio approximately 20 mi (32 km) northwest of (and downstream from) Pittsburgh. In the lower reaches near the Ohio River, the Beaver cuts through a gorge of underlying sandstone.

I don't know...but I would have thought that, given the title of this thread, there would have been WAY more posts! I'm just saying....

 

[CSORuger]

Does this have something to do with Obama's war on women?

Because every good thread needs to be resurrected from time to time...



Crap... what did I do wrong uploading the pics?
