The thread about woodchucks reminded me.
What animals have you eaten? Fish are OK of they are interesting ones.
Extra points if the animal was shot with a lever gun

So this girl once took me home to meet her family over Christmas when I was in college. Her multitude of little cousins found out I was from Alaska and started asking questions. Well, I grew up in the bush where there were no stores - all of our meat was shot or caught. One thing led to another and they were all asking me what kind of animals we ate. I was happy to tell them all the details.
Turns out that their parents had spent considerable effort trying to hide the fact that meat came from actual live animals. I suppose it spontaneously generates itself when you spread plastic wrap over a styrofoam tray?
Anyway, it was a shambles. I was like the guy who exploded their belief in Santa, only worse; I exposed the fact that people murder Bambi. I became the symbol of all that was raw and ugly in the world. I was treated like the devil himself, with bad body odor on top.
The kids? They were unfazed. I think they had probably figured out where hamburgers came from a long time before.
Different culture I guess. My dad had me "helping" him skin deer when I was three.
I bet some of you guys have eaten some interesting stuff, and fed it to your kids too.
