Eating beaver used to be legal in Minnesota--as well as a popular activity. But, KSMP News reports, that changed last year due to a law addressing the hunting and trapping of beavers. These are regarded as nuisance animals, but the law accidentally made eating beaver meat illegal.
State Senator Steve Green wants to fix this legislative error so that people can get back to the joys of eating beaver. It apparently tastes like beef, but Senator Justin Eichorn prefers to refer to the dish as "nature's chicken nuggets." Their colleagues in the Senate have introduced a bill to re-legalize beaver eating.

And a beaver-tail is a big, sweet bun. A real treat, in Northern Ontario.

And why not? In Canada, a beaver is a fish.
