Title: Beaver and muskrat meat
Post by: herboriste28 on February 17, 2010, 12:59:58 pm: I may by some beaver and muskrat meat and I was wondering if anybody ever tasted this kind of meat raw? Its way cheaper then my organic grass fed beef its like 2$/pound and I have read that its a fatty meat and I can also by the tales witch has a lot of fat to.
What do you guys think?

Read Loren Cordain's studies and reports re this, he's the expert. Simply put, wild animals have much greater opportunity to forage and find unusual herbs, plants or meats that are not available to domesticated animals, so have better nutrient-profiles.

You obviously have never eaten game to ask such a question !

Post by: TylerDurden on February 17, 2010, 09:31:16 pm: I highly recommend raw wild game to all RPDers. I mean raw wild hare for example has wonderful dark red meat as does raw wild mallard duck. Most organic meats, even 100% grassfed, tend to be lighter in colour and less tasty, so I find a long-term rpd diet of just grassfed meat to be rather boring, IMO. Though, admittedly, RPD newbies take longer to adapt to the richer taste of raw wild game by comparison to raw 100% grassfed, organic meats.

Porcupine is supposedly delicious (cooked)
