Help! Any of you Texans out there with clean road-kill of armadillo... what
are the chances of dressing and freezing one or two and shipping out to
California?

I am salivating the idea of an armadillo taco and ready to trade a left nut
for a critter.

Anybody?

Arcadia Roof Rats are tastier. Post an ad in the PHX Craigslist.

They don't have the shell in which to cook the meat. I put my armadillos
upside down over an open hearth and let the green salsa bubble the meat into
perfection at which time a tortilla is a must to pinch off the delectable
meat of the beast. Thanks, but no thanks to the rat.

I guess that makes sense. There is a lot of Asian chicken farming going
on in apartments all over SoCal. I've never seen them raise bears.

Do you know of any commercial growers? We used to grow pheasants in Colorado
for sale to prime restaurants. If you know of any armadillo farms, let me
know. I can give them an address in Tijuana and I'll have my TJ friend cook
it and put on a fiesta for us to enjoy the tacos in Mexico.
