I think enough time has passed, that we can all talk about it now.

So how do we get bats and eat them? And see if this whole covid thing was worth it? I have a funny feeling that BBQ bat is like the best thing ever.

It has potential. It has wings and meat.

I saw a raven pluck a bat midair a couple weeks ago. Landed, pecked it a couple times then flew off with it. Never thought they did aerial predation like a hawk.

Saw a couple of bald eagles eating a road kill deer on the side of 95 a couple of weeks ago

I like that the recipe simply assumes that we would know how to prepare and cook the bat, but I could use a bit of direction with that.

I'm glad we get to have this conversation now. I used to buy it from the big box stores like Bat Vat but now I get it locally and support Wiccans. Don't waste money on imported Transylvanian bat that's grown in crowded bat farms and don't buy bat jerky. You never know what's really in it.

I think my obsession with trying bat started here...
