Idaho’s late sunsets make summer cookouts a popular activity, with one man becoming a legend in his apartment complex for his generous grilling. His signature dish of bacon-wrapped hotdogs was a hit with neighbors, and Memorial Day is approaching, signaling the start of grilling season with a variety of meats.
While grilling up traditional favorites like hamburgers and steaks is common, there are certain meats that are illegal to grill in Idaho and across the United States. Chowhound compiled a list of meats that are now prohibited under federal laws, with many of them not sounding appetizing anyway. Breaking these laws could result in serious fines or jail time.
Some of the meats that are illegal to BBQ in Idaho and most states include items that are not commonly consumed, making it unlikely that anyone would want to grill them in the first place. These forbidden foods are regulated by the government to ensure public safety and health.
