PINE GROVE, Pa. (AP) — Last weekend, approximately 150 people gathered at the Pine Grove Hose, Hook and Ladder Fire Company in rural Pennsylvania for the annual Taste of the Wild Outdoors dinner organized by a volunteer rescue captain. The event featured a unique menu showcasing 14 different species, including unconventional dishes such as stingray casserole, bear stew, raccoon andouille, and rabbit kielbasa.
Attendees had the opportunity to sample roasted grey squirrel, bobcat lo mein, wild boar ham, and coyote teriyaki on a stick. The mystery meat of the evening turned out to be alligator, adding to the adventurous culinary experience. For those seeking more familiar options, venison and salmon were also available.
