Squirrel. Lots of people, especially in rural areas ate it along with rabbit. Probably tastes pretty good after some of the other stuff listed,

You'd be amazed what you can find palatable when you're hungry enough.

Fried bologna - Ate it, hate it. Once you start applying heat to bologna, it smells like arm pit frying to me. No thanks.

Is there some sense of self entitlement that makes you feel like any of us are above it? I apologize for sounding so obtuse, but when you are hungry it would work just fine. Any of it.

Are you kidding me, princess? Is there some sense of self entitlement that makes you feel like any of us are above it? I apologize for sounding so obtuse, but when you are hungry it would work just fine. Any of it. I grew up with very poor and uneducated parents. They are good people despite their own poor upbringings. I have had to go stand in food lines with my mom and help carry our share of the commodities. We were given such classics as block cheese, canned pork (yummy*), rice, beans, powdered milk (the only way to drink milk*), and post shelf dated bread (sometimes it crunched like it was already toasted). My mom kept us close and took us to church in an attempt to make us the best we could be. She said to me more than once, "Myname, if you don't want to live like this when you grow up, then you better do the best in school that you can because it is your only way out. It really stuck with me and I did well in school and I do well enough now. I would have never thought at 8 yrs of age that I would become an engineer with enough to help my loved ones when they need it. (* = sarcasm)

Yikes! I just realized that I need to update my signature. It seems that since I wrote it the USA military industrial complex has eliminated two more: sudan and libya. So there are now only 3 countries left without rothschild owned central banks: Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. No wonder they are going after Iran so hard. They are so close to controlling the money of EVERY country on earth.
