Eating Moles

[oneshotmacduff 1]

Anyone here ever eaten moles. Bloke I know swears by them. He says they are a bit like wild boar but tender and quite juicy. He said you have to be careful and not eat their kidneys as they are supposed to be quite poisonous. Any advice welcomed as I have trapped seven of them and I must say I do fancy having a go as we didn't have a turkey this year on account of the wife goin' bluidy vegan. They look as if they will be tasty but I don't want to risk it. I can't find anything on Goggle about eating moles. Or do you just think I should throw caution to the wind and fry them up in the wok with some soy sauce and some oyster sauce.

 

I'm sure some of you shooters must have eaten moles when you were hungry so let me know what yous are thinking.

 

Did the fella Hugh Flaring Whittlesham ever eat a mole on his programme. He would anything that bloke. No wonder his bleedin glasses are so thick.

I have eaten mole , but you will need seven at least for a casserolle, which i liked but roasting them brings out the best flavour the taste is like wild boar but richer , dont eat any organs tho as can have adverse effect

[xia_emperor 1]

you guys are too funny.

[waidmann 105]

make sure you cook them well, trichine( a wire worm) will be rife in animals which eat worms,slugs etc.( prob why not to eat the internal organs)

i'm sure they will taste ok,just do the write up quickly

Well I did it. I ate the buggers - all 7 of them. The good news is that I am still alive although I'm sending this from my Blackberry. I'm in Ward 4 of Perth Royal Infirmary if anyone wants to pop in for a visit. I'm the bloke in the seclusion room wired up to a number of machines. You won't be able to actually get in the room but you can wave at me through the glass partition. I will wave back if I am still conscious.

 

Here is how I prepared them. After skinning and gralloching the moles I marinated them for a couple of hours in a mix of Soy sauce and wine vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic, an onion, stick of celery and a bit of rosemary.

 

Then dried them off and rolled them about in some flour before 'doing' them in a pot of Guiness for about 1 and a half hours. I kept the marinate and used it as a dip. And now from my hospital bed I think this is where I went wrong. I mixed Soy sauce and wine vinegar and it caused a chemical reaction which is what I am sure caused the kidney failure, vommitting and diarhorea.

 

I would caution against eating moles for the time being until I can get a bit more experimantation done ( provided I survive this)

 

And in case anyone is interested they tasted nothing like wild boar, more like that urine / dandelion taste you get off a young fox cub.

Find them outside cubbing earths they use them as toys but I've never seen any that look chewed.

[oneshotmacduff 1]

[waidmann 105]

Make sure its dead! When I was at college a book I read had a story and pictures of a gull that ate a live mole, the mole then preceded to borrow out of the live gull. Both died while the mole was half in half out. this is a link to the x ray of them. www.molecatchers.com/mole_bytes.html Can't find the photo though. Bon appetit!

[waidmann 105]

did the gull skin and gut the mole and then boil him for an hour after the marinade??
