As a kid, my Grandfather in Mississippi would get kind of upset if he heard someone had gotten a raccoon
for the pelt and let the meat go to waste.
The other day, I trapped one that had been destroying our bird feeder.
I was going to just take his shirt off, and bury the rest...
Then I heard my Grand Pop again,,,, and cleaned it.
I was going to fry it like squirrel, but decided to put it in the crock pot instead.
All trimmed of fat, and those bean looking things in its armpit, then quartered and seasoned-
It went in the crock pot with a quartered onion, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and the soup can of water.
Hit the go button, and waited 7 hours.
Grand Pop was right.
Not stringy, tender, it sort of fell apart like crock pot chicken or pulled pork,
and tasted at least as good as any pot roast I ever had.
