Yes. In many areas of Central and South America, armadillo meat is often used as part of an average diet. I have heard that some peoples of South America keep small varieties of armadillos as edible housepets. During the Depression, armadillos were often eaten by hungry people. They were called “Hoover hogs” by people angry with then-President Herbert Hoover’s broken promise of a chicken in every pot. The meat is said to taste like fine-grained, high-quality pork. But I'll pass on the Armadillo . Here's a link to some more facts , including the one I've always heard about them being disease carriers. http://www.msu.edu/~nixonjos/armadillo/faq.html . They are considered to be pests here in Georgia. kirby

Hey Guys,
I have eaten Armadillo, I thought it tasted like sweet chicken (my best comparison), but it was very good.
I can never understand those that turn up there noses at wild food, as most of these animals are cleaner than Chickens and Pigs ! And make a tasty meal.
Remember, There is a place in this world for all Gods animals, right next to the mashed potatoes !
Bill :-)

Anyone ever eaten a snake before? My friend and I came up on one a while back, but we didnt have our guns and it just so happened to be a rattle snake about 5 coils high. Those people that say not to run from snakes are idiots. What else were we supposed to do?
