BOL! One of our younger relatives was hunting on ranches in Texas last week. He got 2 deer, 2 pig/hogs and a wild turkey. He called and told us not stock up on a lot of meat in the next couple of months.
Sounds like we will have Bambi back straps, wild pig ham/country bacon/sausage and breast of wild turkey for Christmas dinner instead of prime rib. Maybe he or his daughter can get a couple Canadian geese to donate their breasts for the feast.
His brother was a chef for a couple of decades, and all of the restuarants he cheffed at had some type of game on their menus. Besides knowing how to prepare the entrees in a superb manner, he will starting to fix, cook and freeze great side dishes this weekend.
About 20 years ago the same son/chef was preparing an early Christmas dinner with Bambi back straps from a deer I had harvested along with some wild duck/geese breasts and the hunter/fisher brother pulled up in the driveway with a big sturgeon still flopping in his truck bed.
The chef immediately went out and harvested a nice strugeon steak for everyone. Then, we fired up two big Webers to grill the Surf and Turf and breasts. I thought that we might have to call in the EMT's for the guys and my MIL for eating too much too fast. Everyone survived, and my MIL talked about that dinner until she passed.
