Perhaps what you've tried wasn't Badger or had gone off. Years ago it was common for a country pub to have a ham. If it was so bad they wouldn't have bothered. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If one of the posters who sings the praises of badger attends the THL fishing match and proves this delicacy and leads the way in the taste test I'll be convinced and donate £100 to the charity. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooked in plain water it was vile. If I wanted to prep. and cook for eating I would no doubt do it differently.

poachers apprentice 136 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 My grandad used to eat them, hedgehogs, rooks etc pretty much anything that moved. He was one 9f 9 though and from what I gather they didn't have a pot to piss in most of the time so you ate what was there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
