It's the Meat Eater Podcast. Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by a room full of jabronis. We've got Alyssa, Cade, Corey, Marge, Nate, and Jake Wallace and Sarah. Jake, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meat Eater.
Yeah, I'm the wholesale and retail marketing manager for Meat Eater, First Light, and FHF and DSD when they need help. Uh, so I help out, um, a lot of the, our dealers, so Shields and some of the mom and pops, but a big part of my job right now is, uh, rolling up the new store in Edina, our Minneapolis location. And I get the other locations dialed in for the meat eater store.
Very excited. That one's going to open in August.
Yep. August 15th.
Great state of Minnesota. Uh, what, what are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to meat eater trivia, hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking?
I think, uh, I think hunting is good, conservation is strong. Depending on where you steer the ship, though, if you get too deep into fishing or somewhere else, it's going to be rough.
Okay. You and Nate will get along. Scary seas. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meadeater's four verticals, which, again, are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meadeater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And Meadeater trivia is brought to you by one of my favorite beers, Bush Light. Bush Light, head for the mountains. All right, we have a mailbag question today. If you have a question you want the crew to answer, send your question to trivia at themeateater.com with the subject line mailbag. This is from Andrew Robinson. What's the most unique or gross wild game that you've eaten? What do we got?
I got one. I gut shot a doe one time and found it the next morning.
Super sad. But we skinned it out, and when we were pulling the skin off the back, that silver skin on the back strap just came right off.
What is MeatEater Trivia and who are today's contestants?
And I touched it and my finger just went through the back strap.
And so we tried to eat it. You can imagine it didn't taste very good. What did it taste like? Just rotten meat? Yeah, just like, I mean, imagine like licking the inside of your stomach.
That's what it tasted like.
All right, I'll think about that. Other unique or gross wild game in the room? What do we got?
I got a long list of unique shit. So part of my plate.
Marge is there for all the episodes.
So bobcat, coot, crow, coyote, skunk. Also had alligator here. I've had walrus and I've had seal.
That's a unique list. It's going to be hard to beat Marge. I think alligator is definitely, it's a finicky one.
I shot like a 10 footer a couple of years ago. Cool. We tried like everything to make that thing taste good. And there's a reason why they fry it. Like, yeah. You got to grind it, put it in chili, or give it a little love for sure.
I've never been turned off by the taste of alligator, but the texture is always pretty tough.
Yeah. And if you get away from the tail, like the front legs and the back legs, it's grainy, to say the least.
Anything else, Jake, besides gator that has been hard to swallow?
I tried to eat starlings once.
Starlings?
Yeah. My father-in-law has a giant mulberry tree. Okay. And so I'd go under there and shoot him with the .22 and felt guilty for my pile and I gave it a try, and there's a reason why there's a billion of those things rolling around.
Other answers in the room.
I had some Russian clients last year, and they wanted to make their traditional Russian fish head soup. Oh.
