I only ate there once, literally on a flying visit. Had a mystery meat burger. Actually, the porcupine was discovered by a health inspector. Most people in town (including my brother, who lived there at the time) thought it was very funny. It was the 1970s, in a small northern village where much of the diet came from the land. Porcupine was a not unusual item for people out on the land, but it didn't show up in town much. From most reports it does taste something like chicken. Moose was the real staple. Coincidentally, I lived in that village for a couple of years in the early 80s. By then the porcupine restaurant had folded. I was a regular at the Sub Arctic Inn restaurant, a tiny Chinese place with great character. If I can find a pic tomorrow I'll post it.
