What North American plants and animals are invasive species elsewhere?

Except that sometimes it is difficult to get over cultural bias. In America, the escargot snail was introduced and of course is a invasive pest. But few Americans will eat escargot.

Find someone who knows how to cook turkey without drying out the white meat. And wild turkey is very different than domesticated. Same animal but wild is darker.

Similar to catfish - the larger ones need a lot of “muddy” meat cut out.

I just learned the word coypu. Everyone calls them nutria.

Well I call 'em “ragondins”, but you know :D. Wikipedia fucked me again !

I’ll fight you IRL :p.

I mean it. We ate carp once because we sorta kinda had to - I was like 18, it was the first fish I’d ever caught in my life and it was fricking huge. Everybody pretended it was OK. It was emphatically not. Carp tastes like a gooey chewy chunk of mud.
Here’s the thing : catfish is WORSE. Their main mean of fighting off predators is “we taste too much like shit to bother”. That’s how they take over.

They were introduced in French streams on account of nothing whatsoever eats them, they’re so nasty ; and they live a long time so over the years they grow into these huge 3-5m long monstrosities. They’re popular among amateur fishermen for the same reason red Harley’s are : they pretend like it’s their genitals on the photograph.
Here’s the thing : they taste exactly the same.

Fuck catfish. Forever.
