Another common thing was to roast raccoon meat
Raccoons do not strike us as the best game to roast these days. But apparently, during the colonial period, they were one of the many weird types of meat that ended up in roasts. Of course, as well as the ones we have seen before, this meal was popular, especially in poor families.
The eighteenth-century Americans were not the only ones that enjoyed raccoon meat on their plates. Even today, many people still eat it in different regions of the U.S. This meat apparently has a musky taste and a strong smell, so it is best to serve it with herbs or strong spices.
