    Wonder who has Rocky Mountain Oysters?

     

    I think Highland Packers which is about 6+ miles away from me does however it is snowing right now and that is a trip up the escarpment in my electric SmartCar so I will give it a pass tomorrow morning.

     

    I would want them tomorrow morning to get a 24+ hour marinate on them.

     

    If the snow stops at less than 3", I will go to an Afghan Butcher that is about 1+ miles from me when they open at 9:00 AM and are NOT busy yet.

     

    They often have Sheep Testicles at a reasonable price.  

     

    You need to remove the membrane around them, cut them in half length-wise and marinate them for 24 hours.

     

    I have the cooking swords so if I can score some tomorrow, I will grill them just before game time on Sunday.

    Guessing it’s similar to here then where you need to have a tag if you’re going hunting for it then? Or is it like some other states where you have to enter a draw?

     

    My father in law, his best friend, my brother to be, myself and 3 of the younger children went to the cascade mountains for his 70th. Bagged a cow, a mule and 2 bighorn. 
     

    Id like to go to Lake Clark, Alaska some time soon. Last time we were in anchorage they were talking about how good the bear/moose/caribou hunting was. Only problem is the price of everything to and from there… especially the return if you’re successful lol

     

     

     

    Yes you enter a draw for a specific area to get a tag for either a bull or a cow moose.

     

    Fun Fact:  The plural of moose is moose.

    Yeah, it was definitely a coarse meat from what I can remember. If that makes sense?

     

    Likely would be a neigh for me to have by choice :P

     

    Never had moose but there’s a guy I used to work with who went hunting&fishing near Misstissani in Quebec, he used to say it’s similar to Elk but just gamier. Would like to give it a crack as I enjoyed elk meat the times I’ve had it. 

     

    Elk is a domesticated animal up here and is available at my local grocery store.

     

    It is expensive however if you get there when the store opens up, sometimes you get lucky and find it 50% discounted when it was full price the night before.

     

    There is a restaurant in Regina, Saskatchewan called The Diplomat that had elk steak on the menu when I was living there or visiting and I would always order it.

     

    I see it is NO longer on their menu anymore => https://thediplomatsteakhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/72094-Diplomat-Supper-Menus-8.5x11-web.pdf

     

    Moose is NOT a domesticated animal and thus cannot be purchased.

     

    My Late Father shot a handful of them over the years so I grew up eating it.

    Tempted to recreate the Yakiniku I had years ago in Iwaki, Japan. Was a platter of horse, goat and pig meat. 
     

    Can’t say I’ve seen horse meat back here but then again I’ve never looked. Bulgogi sliders and Korean Corn Dogs I think is a better choice lol

     

    I’ll leave it to our boys to eat up the horses this weekend. 

     

    The last time I saw horse meat was at a Dutch deli.

     

    Apparently, the Dutch and the French love their horse meat.

     

    Personally, I prefer moose and the few times I tried horse meat I found it very grainy.

    A 15-17 hour Smoked brisket with a loaded baked potato casserole, homemade coleslaw and some kind of greens….I’m thinking of telling everyone it’s horse meat just for a reaction after they try it.

     

    Love it!!!

     

    When I had season tickets and a couple games thereafter when the Eagles would come to Orchard Park, I would olive oil brush and bake in advance the largest fully intact turkey wings I could find for the tailgate.  I would then grill at the tailgate on the old 20,000 BTU portable Weber two of those large turkey wings with the lid down after I sprinkled white feathers around and under the grill on the ground.  As Eagles fans passed by our tailgate site I would open the lid to reveal those massive turkey wings and tell those walking by that they were Bald Eagle Wings.  Then I would say I was Canadian and "are they they not legal to eat here in the US?".

     

    Never once arrested.

    Yep. If the bills defence fails them again this playoffs, McDermott needs to put his pride aside and tear down his defensive philosophy, and bring someone from the outside in to revamp that defence.

     

    Can't just keep running it back time after time after time 

     

    We don't need an elite D when we have an elite O however we got to have a D that get off the field to let our elite O take over.

    Cooper must have a sick family member.  
     

    what else would keep him away from a playoff game.  
     

    if there is some way he misses the game and the bills lose after giving up a top 100 pick for him, well don’t get me started.

     

    Hopefully his family and friends are ok and he is back on Wednesday.

     

    I hope so.

     

    We need him in the game flow now for if we play the Ravens since we may need to score 40+ to win that game.

     

    The Broncos I am not concerned about.

     

    The Ravens scoring 35+ on our Defence I am concerned about.

    Searing in cast iron pan…

     

    Was thinking to make a pepper sauce or a chimichurri type sauce, mashed garlic and hot peppers with vinegar and herbs. 

     

    For the past 3 years I have spent a month in Argentina in January/February with a large number of cousins I have there.

     

    My Father would always marinate the Baby Goat for Easter in Chimichurri Sauce -- a tradition I continue for Baby Goat and Lamb.

     

    Surprisingly, my Argentinian Cousin Leo does NOT use Chimichurri Sauce when he makes Asadio...just expensive salt and a little bit of pepper.

     

    The truth is that beef (and to a lessor extent the pork, goat and lamb) in Argentina is THE best in the world and Chimichurri Sauce would only hide that.

     

    Here in Canada I will continue to make homemade Chimichurri Sauce every couple of months because although our beef is superior than that from the U.S.A. in general, it is NOT of the elite level as that in Argentina.

     

    P.S.:  I am going to be cooking local goat over an open pimento wood fire in the hills overlooking Negril Jamaica for two weeks in early February so NO charitable donations are needed.

     

    Jah Bless!!!

    To start and end ever NFL regular season I do homemade nachos.  I remember a week 1 when I was a kid back in the late 80s my dad made simple nachos with tortillas chips, dollop a of salsa on them and melted mozzerella.  That's it.  But it has evolved over the years for me and try different things.

     

    Tomorrow I'll be doing them in the smoker, with pulled pork,  chilis, onion, cheddar/mozzarella mix, fresh jalepenos, tomatoes and black olives. With a homemade blackbean and corn salsa on the side.

     

    Also per my recent tradition I'll have a shot of Jameson waiting for the moment Scott Hansen and Red Zone come on the air for the final time (as I do for week 1) before quickly switching to the Bills game

     

     

    Sounds most excellent!!!

     

    Scott is THE best.

    Meaningless Game = Meaningless Menu

     

    .

    Normally, with the cold weather, I would be making CLAM CHOWDER for New England games.

     

    However, I am fighting a cold/cough/flu and between The Feast of Seven Fishes I made on Christmas Eve and the Sushi, Maki, California Hand Rolls, Vietnamese Cold Rolls and Steamed Dim Sum Dumplings I made for New Year's Eve, I have had enough fish for a while.

     

    BAKED BOSTON BEANS are always fun however with one of the flu systems I am just getting over, I can't trust the true nature of my flatulence.

     

    So I think I will need to focus on the two large leftover lamb thighs I made on New Year's Day and I am thinking sandwiches and soup.

     

    NOT thrilling by any means however neither will the game be.

     

    What's on your plate?
