I NEVER thought I'd be submitting a recipe for Bat Soup to the group!!! NO, I would never eat anything closely resembling a bat and this posting is all in fun.

Oh wow...I'm gonna say great post! Don't know if I would eat it but I am a Survivor fan...they are in Micronesia right now. One of the survivor's ate this stuff, well, I don't know if it was this recipe but it was bat soup. He said it's not that bad after you take the skin off...LOL

Bats are too cool to eat! :) (I love hearing them on summer nights.) This reminded me of a cookbook my mom has...the roadkill cookbook. Never made anything from it of course, but it's fun to flip through. :)

Where the heck did you find this recipe!! You never know it might not be that bad.

Here in Brazil there is a brand of yogurt called BatMilk. Even though it's made of regular cow's milk, the name makes me smile every time I pass it in the grocery store. When I saw the name of this recipe, I just had to take a look and I'm having a good laugh. However, I honestly would never eat bats!

And people thought roast turtle was strange? :}
But seriously, in some places its eat what you've got or starve. And Daddy always said, "Try everything once." Good thing there aren't any fruit bats in South Dakota. Eww.
