Hi Lisa, and most old timers ate 'possom and sweet taters! I think a lot of meat tastes in how it is cooked! I hear deer stks taste like beef stks when treated right after killed and dressed and then cooked properly! A school friend of mine, many long years, ago, was telling my friends and I about this friend of hers had visited one of her friends out West! The friend had killed a rattlesnake and cooked the meat for their supper. My school friend, said that her friend said it was really good eating and wondered what it was? Her friend said she had killed a rattler and the meat she was eating was it! Well, needless to say the friend visiting her in her friend's home out West, went out and vomited, vomited and vomited? You see she liked the taste, but her training in life, told her it was something that she didn't want or shouldn't eat, and so she reacted to the words and not what was eaten!
My dad used to live in Kansas when he was young, next door to a Mexican family and they would catch grasshoppers and fry them in a skillet to eat.....they said they were really good eaten, but dad, grandma, my uncle and aunt didn't.....the idea was most disgusting, as it would be for me even now! But they say, when you get hungry enough and want to survive you will eat anything that isn't poisonous, whether it be worms, bugs or anything for nourishment of the human body! Many did during the war when they got lost or were trying to escape capture by the enemy!
I pray that I nor my family or any of God's Children are ever in that situation, but as the world becomes worse and worse in sinfulness and terrorists as the ungodly try to take over and keep us from our freedoms and capture us under dictatorships, not one person truly knows without Spiritual understanding of what may be or what may be coming upon our nation, that was settled by our forefathers who believed in freely worshiping God Almighty in the name of Jesus! The Revolutionary Wat was fought to free us from the Church of England, whose ways weren't their or our ways of worshiping! God bless all who fought and set us free then and all through the years since and even unto today and probably will be until our Messiah, the One and Only true Savior, comes and reigns with His peace for a thousand years and then His righteous Kingdom on Earth will come with His love and peace forever and ever, for all sin and sinners will be cast into the Lake of Fire along with satan, the false Messiah, the false prophet and the beast. God is three in one and satan is three in one.....for he is a copy-cat and nothing is origianl with him! God will only allow him to go so far and then the time of his ending will come! Amen!
We have a tornado watch today (very cloudy) for St.Louis and surrounding areas and I pray that we escape having one or deaths and damages from any! Praise God and Thank You, Jesus, for protection from the harmful and sinful things in this mortal life! Amen!
