I think these are jokes or "gag" cans. Most of them are actually empty or have confetti or rocks in them. Don't think the FDA would allow anyone to actually can road kill and sell it as food.

At least I HOPE it a gag...no pun intended.

I prefer to make my 'possum homemade so I can control the fat content of my 'coon gravy.

(And I thought canned whole chickens were the grossest thing on earth.)

I feel reasonably sure this is an acquired taste.

My Dad was a cook primarily during WW11 and he would talk about the gross canned chickens he would have to cook for the troops. However, once they crossed over the Rhine and were in Germany in the waning weeks of the war - the German civilians had little to nothing to eat except what was in their gardens so he could trade them canned chickens for fresh veggies. That was how he was injured - a German soldier saw him negiotiating a trade with a farmer and threw a grenade, my Dad saw it and didn't want the woman or her children killed and he jumped on the grenade. He wasn't killed but was gravely injured. Other guys in his unit did kill the german soldier who threw the grenade. My Dad was awarded a silver star.

During the 50's we would stay with my grandparents over the summer. I do remember my grandfather hunting at night with his two coon dogs, Pete and Ringer. My grandmother always fixed whatever he hunted and we kids loved it. Now I think back, it must have been coons. Pardon me while I go lose my lunch.

About 15 years ago one of my co-workers had to travel for work and brought back a can of pork brains in milk gravy bought in a convenience store in Arkansas. Another acquired taste, but not by me.

That's hilarious! Can you imagine getting that for a white elephant gift at a Christmas exchange?!?! It would be perfect. LOL

The can label even had a picture of the contents. Double gag.
