Re: the northern cook book
Odd isn't it that we don't think twice about cooking with standard meats such as Pork and Chicken, but bring in another animal we don't associate with food and it turns our stomachs.
Having said that, the idea of dogmeat more than the rest gets to me. I will never be able to think of a pet as meat.

Re: the northern cook book
I think these are helpful especially if you're stuck in the wilderness.

Exactly. You and I would NEVER eat our pet dogs. Or rabbit, or chicken, pony or lamb, even kangaroo. So why do we eat fluffy little rabbits and adorable innocent lambs? Because they aren't our pets. We have no attachment to them. It offends our sensibilities if we even think about it.
The dogs on the menu aren't raised as pets.
By the way, the best way to enjoy dog meat is being taken to a restaurant, and not told the dish is dog. As a soup with bones in it, it's quite delicious!

Re: the northern cook book
indeed i think most of these were wrote for the northern territories of Canada, we been watching a lot of movies the last few days, Jeremiah Johnson, the mountain men and and last of the dog men and if ya didn't have nothing to eat in months but rattlesnake and gophers and prairie dogs because there were no Buffalo around to kill . that also includes beaver, rabbits, ducks, geese. the little house books....but then would you eat your cats ? some folks do , I'll never forget when i opened the trash and found my naboors cat skin it there on top. or Evan my dogs , my turtle or fish, i know people that even eat goats, i myself dont like sheep or lamb.....

Re: the northern cook book
I couldn't properly call myself a hillbilly if I hadn't at least tried squirrel, rabbit, turtle, frog legs.
Didn't like any of it very much, but I suppose if it were the only food available, I'd adapt.

On a stroll through my markets here, as well as the usual stuff like pork and chicken butcheries, I see people selling live turtles, snakes (watching them skin them is fascinating), toads (umm lol even I am not gonna touch them, but they COULD be delicious), frogs legs - which are a delicacy enjoyed not only by the French, goats freshly slaughtered, but no dog meat btw.
I've eaten thinly sliced donkey meat in a very spicy, chilli pepper soup, but I don't fancy donkey meat. Dog is much tastier. Never seen cat meat though - never. I think it might be a western urban myth.
And remember those recipes were for people who didn't have easy access to supermarkets. Not even their own cattle and sheep to eat. Fricasee of skunk MIGHT just be OK, lol.

Oh man! Brains,,yeah!!! crumbed and fried.
Chunks of kidney on a metal kebab skewer and BBQ'd over a charcoal fire.
Chicken hearts done the same way.
lol, even BBQ'd rooster testicles (great washed down with a cold beer on a summer night) and goat testicles.
The so called "prairie oysters'.
And don't forget tripe..sliced thin and eaten cold here usually. I love my Mum's tripe and onions in a white sauce on toast! Hungarian style tripe goulash too mmmmmmm! with potatoes and peppers in a paprika sauce.

Re: the northern cook book
I've been hungry. We would hunt for anything. Armadillo and possum often graced our table when I was a kid. Coon too. So what of it? I didn't gag or die. And I always appreciated meat on the table or veggies we grew out back.
Just my 2 cents folks.....
