CDKitchen note: this was posted to rec.food.recipes - we can’t quite imagine eating armadillo - but hey, who are we to judge!
A Texas buddy once said he and his family ate these things all the time.
I didn’t know if he was kidding or not...
Pardon me, do you have any Poupon?
In Texas, you gotta eat around the tire tracks.
