LAST EDITED ON Mar-23-15 AT 04:43PM (MST)[p]A perfect wild game dinner would be a huge bowl of hot boiled crayfish, a cup of hot butter, 2 cobs of boiled young tender corn, boiled baby red potatoes in a cream sauce with fresh young peas, and a sweet moist cold-slaw with fresh raisins, hot homemade bread, and a large jug of ice cold root beer. A big slice of warm apple/raisin pie topped with scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Can't do just one, but all have a few common criteria, regardless of the species.
It has to be naturally moist, I absolutely hate dry meat . Secondly I can't meat be ti wild meat, beef or pork, where they cook all the moisture out a piece of meat, crumble it up and mix it with a nasty soup sauce and call it bar-be-que roast or pulled pork. Makes me gage!
It has to have flavor, the older I get the more bland and boring everything tastes, so I'm all about flavor and fat carries a lot of flavor.
Boiled, young tender corn on the cob, with almost any meal.
White rice or fried potatoes.
Raw cauliflower, young carrots, ice berg lettuce, sweet onions, tomatoes, celery, green peppers, water chestnuts, cabbage, often in company with some kind of dip or sauce like mayo etc.
Shrimp, lobster, crab, crayfish, bison, moose, antelope, ruff or blue grouse are my favorite wild game meats. (Mule deer, elk, pheasants, duck, and geese are way down the list of favorite meats for me.)
Too many are late summer, early fall meals, wish had some right now.
