@@JohnDoe-iw7zc Most likely gameplay and economy balance because if a player completely and realistically guts an animal, there would be a lot more meat for the player to cook and sell.
@@brudderudder Yeah but i really wish i could do somthing to like get Charles to come with me and we donate all the meat ? Idk that carcus on the ground just hurts me to seee

@@ArizonaGhostriders ... I'm with you. I was active duty USMC 1971-76 and had to do the *biting the lizard's head off* routine but I have absolutely NO desire to eat any form of *Rocky Mountain Oysters.*
I grew up in the Midwest, where "rocky mountain oysters" came from unfortunate pigs. Later, in Colorado, I ate "prairie oysters", where buffalo contributed the meat. My wife said she'd never kiss me again if I ate them. They wuz good!!! (and she DID kiss me again).
Ok so I’m a 22 year old female who lives in and has grown up in the rural Midwest and I like everything from frog legs, gator tail, chicken gizzards and livers, rabbit, squirrel, deer, etc etc
Ive studied many plants that can be eaten, one of my favorites is lambs quarter.We canned about a bushel of it for winter. Lots of things to learn and much I was taught by my parents of critters that also could be eaten including roasted locusts.
A Hunter since 10 year's old, the first thing we ate after skinning and hanging a deer was the liver + a generous amount of onion's fried in the same pan + green's usually spinach Or swiss chard and the heart sliced thin and dipped in Flour and fried usually it was mine because I liked it better than liver!
Eating everything is actually healthier than just eating the choice bits. There are vitamins and nutrients in everything.... Such as collagen, which we just do not in our diet today.
Oh Yeah! Tongue's delicious! When my neighbor and I had our heifer slaughtered a few months ago, I our butcher had never cut out a tongue before. I think he watched a TH-cam video to learn how, lol.
I think once people realize that the part of tongue that is eaten is what is under the top layer. When it is cleaned up, just looks like a nice piece of beef.
We grew up eating what was available and tried to grow veggies (often without success). The popularity of Mexican or Mexican inspired dishes on ranches guaranteed them a place in American cuisine. They were nutrition, easy to prepare, tasty and inexpensive for feeding a group of hands daily. Cookie's place in the ranch was equal to that of the foreman since hands needed to eat well. Old West food pre-railroad was often working with what you had and improvising definitely helped. Great video.
My Grandfather was a Yaqui Medicine Man here in Southwest Arizona... He would skin Rattlesnakes and Grill The Meat... It wasn't bad.. I was 10 years old and he made it mixed with scrambled eggs in burritos...
Laura Ingalls Wilder (Little House on the Prairie) described her first experience making hoghead cheese all by herself. The smell of hot lard, and the sight of so much fresh meat, killed her taste for any of it.
My parents were born during the Great Depression, so they ate anything and everything, brains beef tongue heart liver ... plus it was a family tradition to hunt so rabbits deer pheasants quail were a deliciously... us kids had to eat what mom made ... but there were things that were amazing like bacon drippings on popcorn,mush with butter and sugar then next day mom would slice up the left overs and fry it and put maple syrup on it. Big pan of fried turkey or chicken gizzards. And chicken wings my mom could get a ten pound sack for 1.00 as the chicken wing craze hadn’t started yet. Mom would render lard then fry the membrane and we had a bowl full of cracklins. Fresh side pork instead of bacon I think was better then bacon all crisp and tasted like a pork chop. We had money ... dad was a conductor for the rock island railroad then the great northern then the Union Pacific... he was making 80k a year in the late 70s. We only had a soda pop on Saturday night before we watched a late horror movie. Fresh made bread and biscuits we ate out if we were lucky 3-4 times a year pizza was like a royal treat at our home.
Tongue is great. Boiled until tender, cooled, skin the thing, and sliced thin. Don't knock it till you try it. And stewed ox tails are to die for if they seasoned well.
According to my mother. Her father made great squirrel dishes. Had quail. Ate pigeon in Egypt and have eaten wild Dove. Were not bad, but not great either, a lot of work for little meat.
I've grown upon a cattle ranch and spent most of my adult life on one and I can promise you "prairie oysters" are still commonly eaten by old school ranchers. I have never eaten them but I know plenty of guys who love them. Horse, cow, even wild game testicles are often eaten.
I use to see pickled pigs feet in jars in small beer bars, and I would pigs feet on sale at this rural country store. I could never really get up the enthusiasm to eat them. I guess the reason being I use to visit my uncles farm in Mercede Ca. every year and he had pigs. I could see where those trotters had been.
The old west taught humility but when I want a steak there is nothing that comes close. I can eat some homemade hot links and blood sausage at times too. A good cook is a good cook even in the old west.
I had a similar discussion at work. I've eaten a bunch of game meat in steak form, but none of them have that wonderful flavor or scent of cooking cow.
As a Mexican, the tripes, brains, and tongues are among my favorite. Fish eyes, brains and tongues are especially good. We also call prickly pears *Tunas*
Hi from Ohio Thank you for your work. I really liked this episode reminded me of my 96 yr old Grandma. After a squirrel hunt I brought her four for some squirrel stew. She was there eating something on a plate... squirrel brains she loved em.
My mom was Mexican and my dad from Texas. We weren’t poor, and we weren’t rich. We ate all this stuff all the time. A big treat was when my mom picked up TV dinners, 10 for a dollar. No body wants to know what’s in their Salisbury steak TV dinner but man were they good! 🙏
my mom grew up on a farm in the 1930s.came home from school one day and she had me help her prepare chitlins.(pig intestines) said it was part of my heritage and i needed to know such things.fried them up and they tasted good once you got past the smell,which was gosh awful.kitchen smelled like an outhouse.by the way,what they call soul food up north is nothing but southern food.good video,as always.
Way back when, at the end of annual training, some of our National Guard unit went out to dinner in Paso Robles, CA. One of the appetizers were these funny little breaded and deep fried things. We couldn't figure out what they were so we asked the waitress. She said "Gobble gonads. Or the last part of the turkey to go over the fence when he jumps."
I grew up eating everything from the snout to the tail. I made sure my 3 sons also learned where their food came from. Many times when I got home from school I asked, "Whats's for supper?" and the answer would be, "Whatever you go kill or catch. Otherwise it's vegetables and grits." THAT made every shot count.
Red River hot links contain beef tongue, beef heart, beef tripe, saliva glands and some nasty stuff as well. ^^ Just because ist's all ground up it doesn't mean that it's not there. A cow is a lot more than two filets and a couple of steaks. The one thing as a German I haven't figured are buffalo hot wings and why people are attracted to a place called "maccharoni grille", lol
I just found your channel and I enjoy it very much! I live in the Ozarks and I do replica woodworking and sign painting in the Old West style. I look forward to catching up on your previous videos, and will definitely be watching for new ones too!
Huskerliving I should've put a smiley face after my comment. I know that they KNEW that was all that was available. I was being more sarcastic and a joker. If I were to time travel, or resources became similar to that of the old west, I'd do like I said in a previous comment I made. Good day. 😊
Great vid! Making me hungry now. I am a Southern country boy and grew up eating most of what you showed. Brings back good memories. I also love Spam and hate anchovies.
I'm from South Carolina and I grew up eating a lot of poor people southern food . My great uncle loved scrambled eggs and pig brains with biscuits and gravy . We still eat livermush , which is pig liver , pig offal , and cornmeal seasoned with sage . The heart is my favorite part of a cow , makes good fajitas and Chinese stir fry . Beef heart is like filet mignon but firmer . I also like fried beef or pork liver and onions , but prefer beef kidneys . My great grandma used to cook up a mean mess of poke sallet during the spring and summer . My favorite meat in tacos and burritos is cabeza (head) , second favorite is lengua (tongue) . I've eaten my share of wild game . Deer is dry and has little fat , bear is rich and greasy , wild turkey is dry and stringy , so is squirrel , rabbit is delicious . I had gator tail once , it was good , real good . Frog legs don't taste like chicken , theyre more like catfish on chicken wing bones . I love frog legs . Snake meat is similar to.trout . I ate a kangaroo and beef burger in Australia a couple of times , that was tasty . The dog ribs I ate in Korea were like baby back ribs from a suckling pig but a bit less meaty . When I was stationed in Japan I ate some ocean critters that I couldn't identify , but they were tasty . I especially liked unagi (eel) , and a mackerel type of fish called kohada . In Southeast Asia I ate a fruit called durian . It looks like a hedgehog made babies with a football . It smells like an outhouse , but tastes like caramelized onions and vanilla pudding .
The Lewis and Clark expedition consumed massive amounts of meat and little else. This amounted to starving their bodies for necessary nutrients and they suffered accordingly. I think birds, rabbits, potatoes, beans, apples and biscuits were a more common fare for smaller smaller traveling parties. Meat from large animals for the most part, was most likely consumed rapidly by larger parties due to lack of a means of preservation. Salting and tinning was employed of course by the permanent settlements.This is how we ate when I grew up on a backwards farm in the 50s. We used horses and probably didn't live much different than they did 70 years previous.😊
+Arizona Ghostriders I grew up on a farm in Texas, and we had cattle. When we had a calf-cutting, we also battered and fried them. But, they were called calf-fries around my house. Served with a dip made out of mayo, mustard, hot sauce, and dill pickle relish. Sounds nasty, but they were tasty. I'll be the first to admit it though. What we didn't sell at auction, we sent to the processor. So, we didn't eat a lot of organ meat. But, we did make tacos with the cheek meat and the tongues. The pigs were sent to the processor too. But, we slaughtered the chickens ourselves. The 70s were a much different time than now. My kids always want McDonald's or Taco Bell. (but they don't always get it) It's a shame, really.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Oh yeah, calf brains are just as good, but a bit more pricy, lamb and sheep are meh but it depends on the flower, the lard, eggs and spices,
Mountain oysters when battered in corn flake batter and served with shrimp cocktail sauce are delicious. Seriously good. Very tender, like filet mignon, but delicious anyway.
I love the comments on this topic. There was a Cajun restaurant in Rolla MO about 20 years ago called Papa Meaux. They had a pet alligator. My daughter and I tried the alligator nuggets - yummy. Daughter carried some home to her husband, who was from Poland. She handed him the foam container and said “It’s alligator”! The poor man immediately tossed it in the air, shuddered and ran to another room. She very happily ate them!
Arizona Ghostriders this especially funny because his mom made moldy rye bread soup and moldy beet soup saying they were full of nutrients. Maybe they were but I’ll pass.
Didn't look bad but I couldn't eat Mr. Ed except in an emergency. I've heard horse is very good though. My uncle ordered calf brains in restaurants a lot. Another great one!
Being down in the deep south of Alabama...its pretty common for me myself to eat things of this nature. Chitlins, Calf brains and liver, rattle snake, turtle, sause or commonly known down here as "hog head cheese", tripe, cow tongue, etc...and picked pig feed is a gas station snack around here. Dont even get me started on rocky mountain oysters....they r wonderful! Being in a newer generation like explained in this video, is most likely why most people dont have that acquired taste. We were raised on it tho so it's a somewhat delicacy to some down here.....myself included 🤤. My suggestion is dont knock it until u try it my friends. U will never knw how ur tastebuds will react. U might just like it! I'm quite young myself so if someone like me can like can enjoy it, we all certainly can! But I'm someone who will eat almost anything. Calamari, raw oysters, caviar, and ocean muscles especially!
Thanks for the great videos. The rule really was..you ate what you had. The West was not the place to be picky Ranch food, both simple to prepare and tasty, was a major influence.
Hi our awesome friend yes omelette are very popular in the U.K. thanks for sharing your awesome video we got ya always we have smashed your likeee button awesome food 🥘
Yup we still eat like this please I invite you down to my place in California to tryout our cooking we slaughter our own animals and still make some of these foods you'll like the prickly pear salsa!!!!!
Puffball mushrooms taste like fresh eggs and armadillo is like really clean pork. It's actually my favorite. I spent 2 years living in the wilderness and ate all kinds of things. Water moccasin smells like fish but tastes like beef. Opossum is the absolute worst! Organ meats in general taste a lot better than most folks think. It's the texture that's more unsettling, at least to folks that are sensitive to that sort of thing. I don't mind it so much.
LOL kids, so long as you aren't f*ing them or injecting yourself with their blood, you aren't getting leprosy. Just observe standard food safety! I've cut myself while dressing 'dillo and not got sick. Also, unless you are allergic to the medicine, they can cure leprosy now. Honestly, the things are exotic invasives with no natural predators so you can hunt them year round, and they are delicious. There's no reason not to be eating armadillo. You are more likely to die of mad cow from a store bought steak than you are from leprosy from eating armadillo!
My grandfather used to make headcheese. Didn't bother me a bit. I used to work at a deli that carried "delicacies" like headcheese, souse (sour headcheese), liver loaf (basically soft liverwurst wrapped in pork fat), and blood tongue sausage, which is exactly what it sounds like: tongues and blood. Wasn't too crazy about that, but it wasn't too bad.
What did the first person to eat a chicken say?"Tastes like lizard."
HAHAH!
Now that's damn funny
After that he said "It needs garlic."
That's an awesome joke! lol.
I am going to steal the heck out of that joke.

I'm sure. But the taste...
Calves foot jelly will get you some collagen.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Dont' worry! taste is good. (head cheese (편육)and pig skin(돼지 껍데기)have lot of collagen.)
Anyone else ever had squirrel brains ? It's the best part. Fried squirrel with gravy and biscuits.
Thanks for the great video.
I've heard. Wonder how much you need to fill your belly, though?
Well done Ghostriders. Fried SPAM 'n Eggs in an iron skillet over a campfire is culinary nirvana. Greetings from Prescott.
Hard tack and salt pork, pemmican which is a desired taste was eaten. Wild game was abundant, soldiers at times ate horse meat but not by choice.
I looked up Pemmican and decided to make a video on "Old West Convenience Foods". Talk Pemmican, Jerky, tortillas....that sort of thing.
Sounds good.
I grew up eating beef tongue and I still love it - nothing like a good tongue sandwich!!!
I've yet to try it.
Oh Yeah! Tongue's delicious! When my neighbor and I had our heifer slaughtered a few months ago, I our butcher had never cut out a tongue before. I think he watched a TH-cam video to learn how, lol.
I think once people realize that the part of tongue that is eaten is what is under the top layer. When it is cleaned up, just looks like a nice piece of beef.
Well, yeah, Huskerliving, but I like it all. I don't skin it -- just throw it in the crockpot overnight and chow down on it for breakfast. Yum!
Ha Ha, I think I would have a hard time with that myself. I would give it a try, but I think that top part would do me in.
We grew up eating what was available and tried to grow veggies (often without success). The popularity of Mexican or Mexican inspired dishes on ranches guaranteed them a place in American cuisine. They were nutrition, easy to prepare, tasty and inexpensive for feeding a group of hands daily. Cookie's place in the ranch was equal to that of the foreman since hands needed to eat well. Old West food pre-railroad was often working with what you had and improvising definitely helped. Great video.
Pour enough gravy on that gray meat and you won't know it's turned!

Salting and tinning was employed of course by the permanent settlements.This is how we ate when I grew up on a backwards farm in the 50s. We used horses and probably didn't live much different than they did 70 years previous.😊
Preserving was the deal then. Easier in the later part of the century due to so many canned items that traveled well.
Thank you for answering my questiom in the mail bag. Much appreciated.
You're welcome!
That prince Albert pipe tobacco painted wall made by day! Great video santee
That poor guy is stuck in a can all day. The least they could do was make a wall advertisement for him!
+Arizona Ghostriders I grew up on a farm in Texas, and we had cattle. When we had a calf-cutting, we also battered and fried them. But, they were called calf-fries around my house. Served with a dip made out of mayo, mustard, hot sauce, and dill pickle relish. Sounds nasty, but they were tasty.
I'll be the first to admit it though. What we didn't sell at auction, we sent to the processor. So, we didn't eat a lot of organ meat. But, we did make tacos with the cheek meat and the tongues. The pigs were sent to the processor too. But, we slaughtered the chickens ourselves.
The 70s were a much different time than now. My kids always want McDonald's or Taco Bell. (but they don't always get it) It's a shame, really.
That's fascinating. Thank you for sharing that family history.
LOL stay away from my donuts! I would go hungry in the old west :)
Heheh! Maybe...but there'd be something good to eat somewhere.
Nothin like a prickly pear margarita! I’ve had more than my share and still lookin for more!
Dad said brains and eggs was a staple growing up in LA. Lower Alabama.
I've heard as much from others. Not sure how I feel about them. Probably try it though.
Your dad knows good food
I like beef brains, add some eggs, flowers and itsreally good, hot sauce makes it even better
I've heard its good.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Oh yeah, calf brains are just as good, but a bit more pricy, lamb and sheep are meh but it depends on the flower, the lard, eggs and spices,
There's nothing better than Mr.Pearson's beef stew.
Trust me.
HA! OK.
Great vid Santee, learned a lot thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Here in South America we grill the bull testes with garlic and lemon juice.. delicious
That's different! I bet that is good.
Mountain oysters when battered in corn flake batter and served with shrimp cocktail sauce are delicious. Seriously good. Very tender, like filet mignon, but delicious anyway.
I don't doubt it. The ones I've eaten are tender...just don't love the taste.
Vinegar pie. A staple of the Kansas Frontier. Dad made it from an old family recipe, but I wouldn't touch it
I've tried that and it isn't bad. Wouldn't eat it with ice cream, though.
I love the comments on this topic. There was a Cajun restaurant in Rolla MO about 20 years ago called Papa Meaux. They had a pet alligator. My daughter and I tried the alligator nuggets - yummy. Daughter carried some home to her husband, who was from Poland. She handed him the foam container and said “It’s alligator”! The poor man immediately tossed it in the air, shuddered and ran to another room. She very happily ate them!
Thanks for sharing! I've tried alligator tail. Not bad.
Arizona Ghostriders this especially funny because his mom made moldy rye bread soup and moldy beet soup saying they were full of nutrients. Maybe they were but I’ll pass.
Keep'em coming guys. Ya'll are great. =)
Thank you very much!
Didn't look bad but I couldn't eat Mr. Ed except in an emergency. I've heard horse is very good though. My uncle ordered calf brains in restaurants a lot. Another great one!
Thank you. Calf brains in restaurants? Never had the...uh...pleasure.
Another great video, Santee! I had no idea they ate some of that stuff. I don’t think I could have done it. LOL!
If you grew up and that's all you had....you'd a loved it.
Agree, you would not know anything different if you lived back then. Only now would you turn your nose away.
true!
Being down in the deep south of Alabama...its pretty common for me myself to eat things of this nature. Chitlins, Calf brains and liver, rattle snake, turtle, sause or commonly known down here as "hog head cheese", tripe, cow tongue, etc...and picked pig feed is a gas station snack around here. Dont even get me started on rocky mountain oysters....they r wonderful! Being in a newer generation like explained in this video, is most likely why most people dont have that acquired taste. We were raised on it tho so it's a somewhat delicacy to some down here.....myself included 🤤. My suggestion is dont knock it until u try it my friends. U will never knw how ur tastebuds will react. U might just like it! I'm quite young myself so if someone like me can like can enjoy it, we all certainly can! But I'm someone who will eat almost anything. Calamari, raw oysters, caviar, and ocean muscles especially!
Thanks for the great videos. The rule really was..you ate what you had. The West was not the place to be picky Ranch food, both simple to prepare and tasty, was a major influence.
Right. You ate to live...
So, they ate everything and anything, that wouldn't make them sick... LOL!
Kinda!
@@ArizonaGhostriders And if it did make them sick, they remembered not to eat it again... LOL!
Hey Dude, don’t bash Spam. Anyone can ask wats in it. It’s 100% Pork Shoulder. I think. At least 90%. It’s definitely not mechanically removed meat.
No spam bashing here! Just had some in my eggs.
Moose and Squirrel! Ha! That was my favorite movie when I was young. Rocky and Bullwinkle, for those who don’t know.
I tried to find the old cartoon but they are all super lo-res and didn't look good.
Another oyster-type food is sheep or goat fry, which was basically just Rocky Mountain Oysters but much uhhh STRONGER
I've had goat
Hi our awesome friend yes omelette are very popular in the U.K. thanks for sharing your awesome video we got ya always we have smashed your likeee button awesome food 🥘
So that's where doughnuts come from.
Well intestines and Rocky Mtn oysters may taste like pumpkin pie, but I will never know. As long as there are other choices at the table
I'm with ya!
Does anybody knows what movie at 2:43? I searching the title for so long..
My Name is Trinity or Trinity is Still My Name ( I can't remember).
@@ArizonaGhostriders At last.. thank you sir!
"I like spam" -Santee
I see you are a man of Culture and high class socioty such as Myself.
Yessir. Fry that stuff up and I'll eat it by itself!
He gotcha! Pig feast! Tripe, Menudo... oh and Haggis... yummy. Think I'll rethink breakfast now... good video guys.
Yeah...I had to have a piece of white bread just to cleanse my thoughts while making the video.
Yup we still eat like this please I invite you down to my place in California to tryout our cooking we slaughter our own animals and still make some of these foods you'll like the prickly pear salsa!!!!!
Be careful not many people over in California take kindly to people that eat meat.
Calling domino’s pizza 🍕 is like calling a Prius a sports car.
That is a correct and funny statement.
Arizona Ghostriders i from nj. Everything here is terrible. Only thing I’d miss if i left would be the amazing italian food and pork roll.
Puffball mushrooms taste like fresh eggs and armadillo is like really clean pork. It's actually my favorite. I spent 2 years living in the wilderness and ate all kinds of things. Water moccasin smells like fish but tastes like beef. Opossum is the absolute worst! Organ meats in general taste a lot better than most folks think. It's the texture that's more unsettling, at least to folks that are sensitive to that sort of thing. I don't mind it so much.
Yeah, I've had snake and alligator....taste similar and pretty good! Thanks for the additional info!
Be careful with armadillos. They're carriers of leprosy. And I agree with opossum. They really do taste awful. It's hard to describe.
Leprosy?? Can I get a side of cole slaw with that? Eww.
LOL kids, so long as you aren't f*ing them or injecting yourself with their blood, you aren't getting leprosy. Just observe standard food safety!
I've cut myself while dressing 'dillo and not got sick. Also, unless you are allergic to the medicine, they can cure leprosy now.
Honestly, the things are exotic invasives with no natural predators so you can hunt them year round, and they are delicious. There's no reason not to be eating armadillo. You are more likely to die of mad cow from a store bought steak than you are from leprosy from eating armadillo!
I will not be eating armadillo or possum. I will die first. You may have my share if you like.
I enjoyed watching this video!
Thank you!
Oh my god...nostalgia time! I haven't seen a Bashas' since I moved back to Illinois 16 years ago!
Nice!!! I love that.
I've been to the testicle festival in Wisconsin. Drink enough and you will eat anything! Lol
I bet that's right.
Moose and squirrel ??? Hey now...that's not nice!
LOL!
My grandfather used to make headcheese. Didn't bother me a bit. I used to work at a deli that carried "delicacies" like headcheese, souse (sour headcheese), liver loaf (basically soft liverwurst wrapped in pork fat), and blood tongue sausage, which is exactly what it sounds like: tongues and blood. Wasn't too crazy about that, but it wasn't too bad.
The name SPAM is easy, it’s the ingredients…
Squirrel
Possum
Armadillo
Muskrat
😂🤣
LOL!
