Sycamore Springs: Dining on Whistle Pig It is much like dining on wild rabbit- tastes pretty much the same.. fixing it much like you would rabbit or squirrel . . . soak them in salt water, par boil them in fresh water, dredge them in flour, egg wash and cracker crumbs, and fry them in a cast iron skillet as you would squirrel or rabbit.- Needless to say, I am reminiscing days of my youth when woodchuck would be served for dinner from time to time. By Cynthia A. Meyer News from Sycamore Springs I had to Google the facts to see if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today, the answer is "NO". Nor did General Beauregard Lee down in Gwinnett County, Georgia see his shadow. So it looks like the recipe for Fried Groundhog will have to be put back in the recipe box for another year! Can't say I would have relished the thought of sinking one's teeth into a rodent that has been hibernating since last fall. But come spring when the young chucks come out, - I still don't relish the thought of sinking my teeth into one of the pudgy little varmints! Now, I know we all get a little squeamish when we think of Groundhog, most often we think of their lifeless, bloated little bodies laying on their backs by the side of the highway,their right paw covering their heart,as their left forearm lay out stretched, with their tiny paws open to Heaven as if they are praying that the Lord takes them before the buzzards find them. The idea of road killed groundhog is one of the least appetizing thoughts in the world (not sure how the buzzards find them so tasty) but for those who have ever truly "gone country", and dined on a whistle pig.(recently shot, and skinned - Thank you very much!) It is much like dining on wild rabbit- tastes pretty much the same.. fixing it much like you would rabbit or squirrel, they are all rodents after all. Soak them in salt water, par boil them in fresh water, dredge them in flour, egg wash and cracker crumbs, and fry them in a cast iron skillet as you would squirrel or rabbit.- Needless to say, I am reminiscing days of my youth when woodchuck would be served for dinner from time to time.
