You will not believe this. I had my first beaver stew last Sunday evening it was served with mashed potatoes and a wonderfull sauce made from the rendered down bones, it tasted very much like the roe deer meals my missus makes for me normally but was somehow a little different in texture but hard to define what it was, I scoffed down 3 platefulls and have had no ill effects.
It was all legal and above board as these reintroductions (not in the UK I may add) have to be very discreetly controlled (not by me before you ask, I was just gifted some grub) due to the damage they are causing to the trees along the riverbanks.
I have also seen it vacuum packed in supermarkets in Sweden when I was there in 1999.
Incoming, now where is my tin hat?
