Do preppers eat their cats?

[BrendaandEddie]

WHen they balloon goes up?

[ChristinaParsons]

I read it in the camomile lawn!

You can't have cooked it properly, Siwi. When I had casseroled swan it tasted more like venison.

[wtffgs]

How the bleeding hell do you know that Christina? However, I am enjoying the image of wee piggies with chefs hats!

[OneFlewOverTheDodosNest]

My grandma says they had to eat their pet rabbits during a tough winter - I imagine they'd taste better than cats though

[CheerfulYank]

There are lots of bears in my neck of the woods.

[Siwi]

Swan tastes fishy.

[ChristinaParsons]

Guinea pigs make lovely pate! I mean you can turn them into pate, not that they are culinary wizards!

Well I clicked on the thread thinking it was about poor "preppy" students possibly. Poor preppy students that are skint and hungry. Now that I know what a prepper is, my mind can be well and truly boggled that it's a thing

Do Preppers have no idea about sustainable prepping?
I would have thought guinea pig livestock (with view towards ongoing breeding programme) would be an obvious strategy to embrace. Supposed to taste like chicken.

Ragged have you every noticed that anything you wouldn't normally consider eating is said to taste like chicken? Rattlesnake, alligator, hedgehog... Perhaps the chickens are on to something?

I clicked on here thinking it was Christmas prepping and what's the back up plan if Tesco run out of turkeys?

[PeppaWellington]

OT but should we all have prepper names, like halloween names and christmas names? We should bag them now so we are preperly* named for when it all goes pear shaped.



*sorry

They will have stockpiled cat food. The neighbour's cat, however, definitely fair game ...

[ChristinaParsons]

Not many bears round here though. Although badger is tasty

[ChristinaParsons]

I have a lot of cats. Am now worried that I live next door to who the fuck is Simon???
If you ate my liver you would prob be drunk for days!

[ValiantMouse]

I'm going to train my cats to hunt the millions of wild rabbits that there are around here.

[CheerfulYank]

If my dog ignores all his expensive toys and chews up one more damn skirting board I may eat him just because.

I've had bear. I don't think that's truly carnivorous though? They eat lots of berries etc.

[MythicalKings]

I shall buy Baldrick's cook book and eat all the cats, dogs, rats and guinea pigs in the neighbourhood.

[winchester1]

I don't have cats but id eat my digs I push came to shove. OH has tried dog before he says its ok in a stew.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I did not know there was a preppers topic! I love that sort of stuff!

I'd eat my dogs before I ate a cat. I'd prefer to eat someone else's dog but if needs must, I would. The yappy one would go first.

[HarlettOScara]

My pond seems to be overrun with frogs so I'll be dining on frogs legs throughout the apocalypse. I also have 3 feral cats. I imagine they'll eat me before I get the chance to catch the buggers.

[MERLYPUSSEDOFF]

My MIL has eaten leopard when she was younger. Can't remember what she said it tasted like.

[wickedwaterwitch]

Pmsl at thread title

[SquirmOfEels]

Diet of the creature does have an effect on the taste of the meat (that's why you can get seriously expensive lamb from salt-marshes).

So peaches-fed guinea pig would be a better choice to manky-vole-hunting cat.

Always avoid carnivore's livers, even if you do have to eat one (generally more toxins, the higher up the food chain you go; can have damagingly high levels of vitamin A - dog and bear can liver be fatal, possibly others too).
