Fox recipe

After losing five girls to Mr Fox I'd certainly be keen to reply in kind AND make that trap pay for itself!!

Only problem is that there's not much meat on my local foxes - skinny b*gg*rs the lot.  I suppose it is the sweet taste of revenge. So it's cold cuts, then?

I'd probably try it.  The one thing I wouldn't try unless starving is rat though!

But when you think what foxes do to chickens and ducks, the revenge would be very sweet, even if the fox wasn't!

But I agree with Pertelotte, foxes are usually very skinny, so probably more trouble to cook than to eat!

My grandfather ate both cat and rat (at different times). He never mentioned fox. Perhaps there were none where he found himself in the First World War. Not in the zoo anyway... the animals in there vanished very rapidly before the cat & rat stew appeared on the menu. 

I voted yes but only if someone else had cooked it (and it was free) then i would try a nibble .

As for eating rat i would decline a UK sewer rat but i think the Korean (?) paddy field rat crispy fried on a stick looks rather tasty.

Whilst on the thread of what creatures we eat eat themselves, dont forget thet the largest shell fish, shrimps, prawns mussles etc  all used to be caught near to the sewer outlet pipes.

Give it a go and let us know what its like.  We can only try these things, As you say the thais used to (and probably still do eat dog) us British feel skweemish about this as we see them as mans best friend. 

Didnt realise that foxes smell either,

Love this site always learning!!

Maybe it's just the coat that smells?

It's the extremely potent scent gland that gives that distinctive aroma ..... badgers smell very similar and we all know about tomcats!
