Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says raccoon and squirrel are among their dietary preferences
Long-term Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones often stands in front of a microphone. The billionaire usually doesn’t shy away from sharing his thoughts about the soccer team he owns, but sometimes he delves into other topics as well.
Jones’ recent routine appearance on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan turned out to be rather unusual. At one point during the discussion, Jones revealed that he enjoys eating raccoons and squirrels.
Carolina Panthers Freshman Xavier Legette’s name seemed to serve as a starting point for the conversation about culinary preferences. Jones then brought up his previous experiences with the aforementioned raccoons and squirrels.

“I ate a lot of raccoon,” Jones said, seemingly in reference to Legette’s dietary preferences. “Yes, the answer is yes. I ate it while hunting and it was actually served to me by my mother at the table outside of the hunt. … That’s not unusual at all.”

Jones also recalled times when squirrels would spark family conversations about who could eat certain parts of the animal.
“One of my favorites is squirrel,” Jones continued. “It’s wonderful and my mother was great at making it. We all had our favorite pieces. … My mother and I would even like the brain of a squirrel. Delicious. Seriously.”
