Anyone who cooks with bacon grease or wrapped in bacon likes bacon more than they do the taste of wild game. I have a game receipt book from an Austrian chef who cooked in 5 star restaurants and himself was a hunter. I actually took him on a goose hunt many year ago.

What I am most impressed with is he did the basic cooking of all wild game in oil, salt and pepper, perhaps in a bread crumb wrap but that is about all. The scrumpstuosness was in the sauce that was cooked with the remains in the pan and sparingly dribbled over the meat after.

What I really leaned was if you think wild game should taste like chicken or beef go buy chicken and beef in Safeway and leave the wild game to those who can appreciate it.

My receipt for sharptail was to soak it in a brine mixture overnight then brown it in a sauce pan with salt and pepper and finish on a slow heat in a frying pan with mushroom gravy. If you can make your own mushroom gravy all the better. If you can't then Campbell soup is poor but useful alternative .

Oh STFU. Take your 5 star Austrian �receipt� book and screw.


I originally typed out a nicely thought out pithy response...but I decided to give you the cliff notes version.

The Austrian chef must have learned to cook in Nebraska, Fry it and then cover it with cream of mushroom soup..

I never said the receipt was from the Chef although I can see how that might have been interpreted. Actually it was a receipt my mother used and as a youngster I really enjoyed it.

Nothing wrong with the taste of bacon, nothing wrong at all. If everything tasted like bacon, including pumpkin pie, we all would be better off.

My dad always said "making a pie out of pumpkin just shows you can make a pie out of sawdust, if you add enough spices".
