Armadillo mania feeds gourmet interest in Florida
In Florida armadillos, once pests burrowing in palmetto thickets, are being pursued and culled by locals. An Orlando ophthalmologist and Florida officials tout them as inexpensive meat, with recipes offered and barbecues hosted for officials. Hunters report easy bagging with no seasonal limit, while some residents recall dramatic head blows with tools and enjoying armadillo dishes, described as tastier and pricier than steak.
