view my profile-album to see some pics of my freind the porcupine:wave:

We don't have them here, and the one guy I've spoken with who had eaten one said it tasted a bit like turpentine, so I'm guessing the Cedar Plank Method would be best.

Nice pics Genesis

I don't think so.

If I told any one around here I was eating quill pigs, They ask if I had been smokin my cheerios for breakfast and send me for a drug test. :eek2:

Or they would admire you. :party0005:

We used to marinate with a sauce like you would pork, and cook it on the grill. If you freeze them a few months, like any other meat, they tenderize. I never noticed any turpentine flavor, but i guess it could depend on what they have been eating. I normally get them out of hardwood trees in the fall (Probably the ones I see with theleaves off).
They arent too tough to skin. slit up the quilless belly, pull the skin back around the legs from inside.

You boil them for a couple hours and skim the greece off a few times through it,then cook how you want...tastes like chicken!
