Shoveling snow here today yet again. When is Spring coming? A local hunting buddy supplied the wife and I with a new game cookbook for Christmas last year, titled "Buck, Buck, Moose". In a much overdue review of the primary freezer here, we discovered some long-misplaced gamebirds that should be good fodder for this hearty, meaty shitkicker stew. The primary proteins include lesser elk cuts, long-frozen goose breasts, and even fresh chicken thighs, so the big freezer is now free from any remaining flotsam and jetsam. After a long brine bath, cleaning the sharpies was interesting in that they look remarkably similar to spruce grouse (but w/o the piney effect). Another interesting note (at least to me) was how much lighter the leg meat on a woodcock is, as compared to the breasts (never noticed that one before). The final assembly and stewing shall occur this evening, so I should have a report on the outcome tomorrow. Any good wine paring suggestions from the gallery here?
