supper

what’s for supper this weekend

[Joe Hell]

I think I’m pretty limited to leftovers after all the stuff I’ve been cooking lately. Most of which is portioned and frozen. I’ll probably be eating a lot of salads…with meat of course. lol

I was gifted a small amount of venison so that might make an appearance this weekend. What do you have planned?

[craigrice]

@Joe-Hell I have collected about 5 lb of moose meat for a future project stuffed peppers tonight rotisserie chicken tomorrow cooked at home maybe liver and onions sun

[Joe Hell]

@craigrice Oh man…I would LOVE to get my hands on some moose! That is one thing I’ve never tried. I’ve got a little stash of game meat going in hopes of a future landjaeger or salami experiment.

[craigrice]

@Joe-Hell I live in Maine if I cook it and don’t tell the grandkids they think it is beef I want to make summer sausage out of it

[Joe Hell]

@craigrice my dad once tricked us into eating Rocky Mountain Oysters…we just figured they were seafood. Lol.

We have had a fair amount of moose in our area the last few years but I don’t think there is a hunting season in Washington. At least not in my area.

[Jonathon]

@craigrice i know a custom processor in upper peninsula of Michigan that swears his moose summer sausage is better than beef or pork! Now, this is a man who also insists that bear is better than wagyu so take it with a mountain of salt!

[Jonathon]

@Joe-Hell you cant really understand how big they are until you see them in the wild. Closest I’ve ever been was about 100yards and that was as close as I feel the need to get to them!

[johnsbrewhouse]

@Joe-Hell There is a Moose season in Washington, only eastern, permit drawing and limited

[Jonathon]

And to answer @craigrice initial
Question I had a vegan Mac n cheese sauce ( my wife makes its incredible) over chicken with a garlic and seed loaf of bread last night. Then tonight it was fake crab meat, which I freaking love! Just a dollop if butter in a hot pan then some captains bay seasoning, great with rice or without it and I have a nice ribeye planned for tomorrow!

[craigrice]

@Jonathon I changed my menu tomorrow is chicken jambalaya, had leftovers tonight!

[craigrice]

@Jonathon captains bay ? is that similar to old bay. and I have had bear and found it very strong in flavor ?

[twilliams]

@Jonathon the place isnt called sommers sausage in the U.P. is it? Cuz i had bear made into sliced sandwich meat and oh my goodness i would put that up against beef any day.

[Joe Hell]

@johnsbrewhouse That makes sense. Seems like I’ve heard of guys hunting in the Spokane area.

[Joe Hell]

@Jonathon yeah…I’m not sure I’d want to meet one up close. I don’t even get near horses. Lol

[craigrice]

@Joe-Hell I was talking to man in a bar he was from Canada he said we call them swamp donkeys

[Dave R]

@craigrice @Jonathon
My friends and I had the argument a few years ago. So we did a taste test. It’s not fare, but we seasoned and bacon wrapped… moose, bear, venison, and beef. All from Minnesota, and similar loin cuts. We grilled it all the same and had a blind taste test.
We could’t tell the difference between them, except the moose. It was sweeter and a little chewier. It is all in how you take care of the meat block in the field…in the opinion of the group I was with.

[Dave R]

@Joe-Hell they are huge…I had one sneak up on me when I was fishing in Alaska. Needed to change clothes …if you know what I mean.

[craigrice]

@Dave-R there was a place in pa. that I lived in and the sportsman association had a wild game pot luck dinner

[Joe Hell]

@Dave-R I have seen some pretty intense encounters on video. I worked in the archery industry for over 10 years and the stuff people would send me was pretty insane. I was offered so many hunts over the years I couldn’t even count. Unfortunately finances never allowed. If only I could go back in time…
