Wild Game Recipes
|
Cooking is an art not a science, so I believe there are many possibilities to every dish. Sure you can follow a recipe from Southern Living cookbook and watch corny people like Yen Can Cook or Julia Child on TV and come out with a good tasting meal, but I definitely know I don’t have the same preferences as an old lady that catches herself on fire or Asian guy that only cracks himself up. So in order to satisfy your own taste buds a little tweekin of the culinary arts is needed. In my recipes I will give approximations on most of my ingredients because to tell you the truth I hardly ever measure anything I just take a dash of this a scoop of that oops I just knock a whole bottle of tabasco in my soup, oh well. Another thing I do not believe in is making more dishes dirty than is needed. I hate cleaning them, therefore I try not to use them. Well maybe it is a good idea to use a colander to strain your spaghetti, I have lost quite a few noodles in the sink. That’s up to you though, I know I am not going to no matter how angry I get. Some of my recipes here are not the norm. You won’t find to many cookbooks with barbecue crow, broiled carp, roasted raccoon, and charbroiled cat (just kidding on the last one PETA people). Most of the recipe concoctions were made from experimentation. I owe a lot of the wild game recipes to my friend Jason M. It sometimes occurred on purpose, but many times just from a whim. We would either happen to shoot some animal and decide, hey maybe this would taste good or went on a mission to hunt down an elusive animal we had never eaten before. In our state of Maryland we are running out new animals we can experiment with so we may have to cross our hometown lines in order to find something else. By now who thinks this is a little sick, raise your hands. I don’t care what you think. I will keep eating what I eat. Most people will not give some of my cooking ideas a try. That’s usually their lost. I’ve introduced new wild game food to my parents, friends, and especially girlfriends and most times they love it. If they don’t it’s usually because they already have engrained in their minds that there is no way they would ever think a crow could taste good and cringe before they even place it in their mouths. Some even put it in their mouths keep it in a few seconds to make me happy then pretend to bite into it then spit it out and start spitting and gagging. You know who you are! Another belief of mine is anything can taste good if cooked right. Yes, a carp, raccoon, whatever can taste good. It may take a few tries and a lot of spices, but it can be done, I think!? At least I haven’t found anything that tastes awful to the point I can’t eat it. Sure, if you stalked, shot, cleaned, and cooked something yourself it usually tastes better than if you went to the Nice n’ Sleazy diner and had the same dish, unless of course it’s 2 am and had a few too many Buds. I will now let you go so you can cook. I hope to start posting recipes soon. I know you can’t wait, but you will have to for now. . BBQ Crow Turtle Soup Opossum Pot Pie Roasted Beaver |
