I just had a bacon sandwhich. Bacon microwaved until its brittle and oh-so-tasty. That and a bitter lemon...that's a good breakfast there.

...burgers for lunch, I think. Still got a coupon for a good local burger place.

Schnitzels of pork, drenched in lemon w/ french fries. FIGHT!!!!

Yes, scientist, black pudding rocks enormously. As does ALL liver pate.

I love meat so much more now that I hardly ever eat it. The chicken stew my g/f & I cooked up t'other night was a big steaming bowl of juicy, herbal (tm Nigel Slater) heaven.

That was me, btw. Logging in problems (so what's new?). Quantum EATS NO MEAT.

Damn. Just ate the beef tikka I've had marinading for the last 26 hours or so. Had it with some onions and basmati rice. Wrapped the beef and onions up in tinfoil and stuck em on the grill.

Damn it was good. The beef tasted fantastic. It'd have been better if it was lamb, but the store had none, nor did I have any naan bread. But hot DAMN! The outside of the cubed beef dried once it hit the air, but was still moist. Just altogether good food.

Better than the trout I had earlier today with a light bread and herb crust on it. Was nicely fried with a bit of tartar sauce with lime juice and horseradish. Good food today.

...sorry. I just needed a place to rant about it. Anyone else had a good meal the last few days?

Puppy. Wait, no, not in the face don't shoot not in the face!!!
[Ahem] Young dog is damn good eatin'. I dare anyone who has eaten it to disagree with me... and if someone does, and is being honest I'll be terribly surprised unless there's some tangential (it was infected, it was undercooked, it was my pet and my parents didn't say anything until after I'd had three bites....) catch.
I love dogs, too, as living folks and all, and wouldn't wish a harsh thing on one... and I can fall back and blame this on religious observance (since my people have been eating dog for ceremonial purposes for, well, at least a few hundred years if not longer - depending on whether or not you believe there were no dogs in North America before Columbo's Euro-invasion tour of the hemisphere), but to be utterly honest, I just like the stuff. And it doesn't stop me from loving and petting my brother's dog while she's sniffing at my pasta right now, either. No more than eating beef makes me hate cows, or that I hate horse, chicken, snake or goat or trout or sheep - wait, I do pretty much despise sheep. But, dogs? Nah, they're, by and large, far in favor compared to even other human type people. Dogs is alright. And tasty.

No judgement here. I'd have to admit to a long-standing curiosity about dog meat. I doubt that anyone in my neck of the woods would admit to cooking dog. (though there are always rumors...)

Ever since I read an article in the paper I've been curious about horse meat. Dunno why.

Is it me or did the last three posts sound like guilty confessions on a fetish forum? lol

...now I've just grossed myself out.

Bacon wrapped in bacon.
With more bacon, and a glass of bacon.

I demand to feast upon braised haunch of bird-fed carnivorous squirrel.

With wild rice.

That confused the shit out of me upthread. When did I eat steak?! When did I post that?! WTF?

Came here to say I gave Gypsy Lantern an edible scorpion in a vodka flavoured lolly for his birthday, weird meat...

Go carnivorous squirrel!

I need to show that pic to one of the girls in my residence. She's deathly afraid of squirrels.

I just scanned this entire thread and am startled that no one seems to have mentioned buffalo steak, or indeed venison. Both are lovely on the grill, or in stew or chili.


I must mention in passing that there is a local restaurant that serves penguin. I am loath to try it, partly because it sounds like it would be awfully oily, and partly because pengys are so cute, but mostly because a rather small pengy steak costs about $80 and I have no idea what wine would go with it. What a challenge for their sommelier.

My bad, Keggers mentioned bison steaks already.

I had a buffalo burger at the Royal Easter Show. MEATY!

Had venison a week or so ago at 360, the classy restaraunt on top of the CN Tower in Toronto. Was good. Tender, certainly. A bit fuller a flavour than beef, but really nothing I couldn't do with some decent cow and the right spices. Still...I did like it. Very nice stuff.

Had venison sausages at a bangers and mash place in oxford. I just remember them being kind of dry.

Had wild boar sausages at Belgo Centraal in London. Those were good.

Had buffalo burgers once. I remember them being good, and big. That was when I was like...8, though. Same year, I think, that my late stepfather prepared "chicken surprise". The surprise? It was rabbit. He was a very, very odd man.

Don't they have wild boar feasts at Le Park Asterix? I told my brother-in-law, when he and his girl moved to the U.K., to check it out for the Zeus' Thunderbolt rollercoaster, held by affecionados to be the best in the world, but nnnnooo, they went to Euro Disney instead. Now they admit I was right.
But oh how I crave that wild boar.
"What a frightful bore" "WHERE!?"
"Boar's tripe." "WITH HONEY?!"
"Two boars, please" "And I'll have two boars as well."
Actually, I'd probably end up tied to the tree with Cacaphonix...

Well, had the bread we had them in been any good (undercooked baguettes) these sandwiches...
Steak. Our salvation.
... I might have said they were the best. However, they were merely splendid.

What are they?

I recall eating a roasted pig sandwhich from a vendor in Gloucester Green in Oxford. It was quite nice. Juicy pork, crackling, and apple stuffing on a bap. Honestly, I think they should have served the crackling on the side. But overall it was damnably delicious. Never saw the guy again, sadly.

Venison & Elk. Elk is milder and sweeter, but as I haven't shot one in a number of years I'm presently 100% venison for my red-meat intake. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the deer I shot last fall, which should last nicely for the remaining month and a half until the next hunting seasion. My favorite cut would have to be loin medallions, sprinkled with coarse salt and briefly seared - the meal of kings. You have to be careful not to let it have more than a minute or so on either side, or else it dries out and gets a little more gamey.

Beef just seems so bland and fatty by comparison.

A friend of mine recreated Roy Horan's breakfast from "Game of Death 2" for his barbecue- "Raw venison! With deer's blood! Would you like some?" "No thanks, not my idea of a nice breakfast."
Well, O.K., the venison was cooked and the "deer's blood" was tomato juice, but he DID use the widest fork he could find, and use it sideways while smirking, and he dipped his bread in the "blood". It's just too bad we couldn't acquire any lions or trained peacocks for verisimilitude.
