Porcupine Catch and Cook Clean | Learn The Primitive Hangi | Corn Meal Bread With Mortar & Pestle

In order to protect his dog, Adam takes the porcupine. It is well known that porcupine and dogs don’t mix where porcupine will put quills into the muzzle of the dog which is very painful. Porcupine are very plentiful up North and sadly, because they have so little food, they often end up dead by the side of the road as they try to find new trees to eat. Reducing their numbers means that fewer will end up wasted on the road. They also make great table fair and are eaten around the world!

In this epic episode Jeremy and I prepare a porcupine in a very traditional way. Learn how to pluck, singe and scrape off the quills and hair. We then examine how to cook using a primitive earth oven by covering it with white hot hot rocks and coals and cover overnight with dirt to steam and bake.

This entire series is about catch n cook!

Watch and find out how well it cooked and whether this traditional famine food is palatable. We discuss porcupine as a “survival food” and how it was traditionally used.

Also on the menu is crushed cow corn in a traditional mortar and pestle combined with egg and fresh strawberries and blueberries with farmed raised pork fat, cooked over fire as a corn meal.

Thanks to Adam Craig Outdoors for supplying us with a porcupine, filming it, and then letting me use the footage!
