gbal Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 BBQ....has anyone ,ever,managed to eat a fox-cooked anyway at all? Other cultures? It's an odd (evolutionary?) defence,since they don't have (m)any serious natural predators(in the 'Wilde"),and if generally inedible,is it unique among mammals?

Gbal The French have recipes for fox - but then again, is that really surprising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nut Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Had a Vietnamese guy torture me for a fox a few years ago, I tried to explain they were not edible but he insisted. Anyway about a week after I'd dropped off one nice head shot carcase he met me in town...... even he couldn't make it edible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Paddy,Gun nut thanks,History may refine :it was not only hearts and minds in French Indo China-taste b and tummies played a role too. ( I did check with Nigella,perhaps the most foxy lady in the business.) non apetit? Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn. p.s ..good shooting Mush! keep at em! Ha ha :-) .......I was somehow getting the impression on here that fox were gourmet diners on chicken,duck,pheasant poults and lamb. They would be happier on Bear Grylls "Island" with their diet! Or do you mean ...our EU neighbours diet!! I was going to have scampi later,but now I think I'll have one of my free range vegetarian rabbits off the lawn... georges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
