Leaves you wondering though.

Are people eating armadillos because they're poor and it's available, or is this some secret delicacy that just hasn't caught on yet? Yes, I've probably got some Florida blood hiding in the family tree somewhere...

People eat raccoons, rabbits, squirrel, and possum too. They're all traditional small game in the Americas that have a history of being hunted for (probably) milenia. According to google (for what that's worth nowadays) armadillo is rich and has a similar flavor to pork

We're supposed to be discouraging the armadillo eating.

Yeah, and where do we get the armadillo bacon?

You know, so we can not go there.
