In PA, groundhogs, AKA woodchucks or whistle pigs, are considered game animals. At one point I decided to cook one up for a dinner, but was repulsed by the texture and greasiness of the meat. Pork, it ain’t.
Honestly, I have never considered eating groundhog. I don’t like squirrel or rabbit so groundhog does not sound appetizing. However, a quick Google search came up with pages and pages of recipes on how to cook groundhog. Here’s one of them:
. Country-Style Groundhog:
Ingredients:1. 7 individual groundhogs2. ½ cup flour3. ¼ tsp. salt4. ¼ tsp. pepper5. ¼ tsp. soda6. ¼ c. cooking oil7. ½ tsp. sugar
Instructions:Prepare groundhog by removing the small sacs in the back and under the forearm. Soak groundhog overnight in salted water. This will help remove the gamey flavor. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and soda; use as a rub on the groundhog. Brown the groundhog in hot oil in the skillet, and sprinkle with sugar. Reduce heat, add 1 ½ cup water. Cover, simmer for about 30 minutes or until tender. Remove cover; let cook for an additional 10 minutes.

No Silly not ground hog sausages. This was the swimming pool scene from the movie ground hog day when Bill Murray removed a snickers bar in the pool after some one yelled “Doodie!” Everyone was grossed out thinking he ate a poo poo.
