Moose

[shootingstar]

You are joking, aren't you?

I guess I personally don't know any hunters, except for a few who fish. For 10 years my dearie raised cattle (for meat), some pigs and chickens --a life prior to his cycling passion now. Latter 2 animals was for family only.

Agree that wild need to be managed.

Just a passing comment, Sadie. Would you have said this to someone who made same comment but was vegetarian? For past few years, I eat meat but alot less..1-2 times per wk. A trend partially out of laziness and also cost-savings.

Sure I'll try a broad range of meat. But probably wouldn't eat much overall as part of regular diet.

a coworker of mine hunts for bullwinkle every year. He says it's much less gamey than bambi. He's offered me some, but I'm not a huge meat person so I declined.

I took the package more out of curiosity. DH doesn't share my culinary curiosity on this one.


Please...I don't want to see this become an ethical debate. I am just looking for ideas. Thanks.

My cousin has a hunting lodge in BC and he hunts moose a lot. I know he's given some of the meat to my brothers but I've never had any. If he were one of the fam online, I'd email him and ask how he prepares it. But he is not. I'll ask his brother if he knows though. I'm not sure my brothers ever ate it. Probably still in their freezers.

Growing up in Newfoundland, we ate moose every year in season, we always knew someone who had a moose license and gave us some steaks. It was really good, my dad always managed to cook the steaks very tender and juicy - I wish I knew his secret, he could make beef liver taste wonderful. He would fry it up on a very hot cast iron frying pan and serve with fried onions. Very good - have not had it for years. Bon apetit!

I'd ask Chef Google, and pick something that sounded good.

I ate roadkill moose in northern Maine once. It was quite good. According to the locals, Canadians come down and drive too fast and often hit a moose, then the locals run out and cut it up and freeze it before it has a chance to go bad. Waste not...

I truly couldn't figure out your comment! And yes, I'd say it to a vegetarian. I have vegetarian friends who know that wild populations must be managed. We've killed off the predators and provided lots of tasty food (golf courses, urban gardens, alfalfa fields, etc.)
