Duck or Grouse?
-
Grouse... used to have them when in season when growing up in Northern Ontario... miss them...... mmmm... the taste of the pine nuts they ingested infused the meat... mmmmm. Tim
Mmm...indeed, I love the unique taste of grouse but I doubt it has anything to do with what they eat because I've eaten a lot of them here on Vancouver island and they have that same almost peppery flavour and there isn't a pine nut anywhere around here. I think they just have that taste as a matter of course. I bet they eat more bugs than anything else. The hell with Turkey, people should come to their senses, let them all loose and start raising grouse for commercial sale instead.

I won't have them in the house. They are the most obnoxious vegetable ever, and I remember my mother who would boil them harshly for several days until they were ready! Sprouts and cauliflour will be banned when I become Grand Emperor of the Universe! :)

It's always amazing to me how much truly delicious food in the world people hate because they had it cooked poorly by a parent as a child. And how stubbornly they will cling on to that prejudice as an adult. I once knew a guy who would never eat noodles or pasta of any kind and did not because of bad experience eating it as a kid. I find that amazing, all the world's noodles cut off to him out of prejudice.

I have been given a duck, a grouse and a brace of pheasants! Which one for Christmas dinner? What about the Turkey in my freezer? Why so many birds? I may confuse everybody and have a curry! This is actually quite a problem, as I do the cooking, and have no idea what people prefer. I suppose the best thing to do is to cook what I want, and if they don't like it, tough! So, I think DUCK! I can save the pheasants and grouse for a game casserole for new year.

Tough choice. Personally, I just read that and started to salivate! :D I think Duck, then Grouse then Turkey, then Pheasant! :D Yummm... roast Pheasant! :D

Very nice, have you ever tried cauliflower raw? That's a taste not to be missed :)
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
actually it's one of the few veggies I prefer raw. :-\

Either that, or it's a conspiracy by those who disapprove of small, hairless canines in black leather. Personally, I think the poodles are behind it.

Rattlesnake tastes like chicken. Squirrel tastes like a chicken who drank 3 pots of coffee. :)

no reply button doesn't get you away from a reply from me. Now drown that squirrel in 3 pots of coffee I'll be happier, but feeding it coffee only makes it more squirrelly

My bad. Shoulda been, "Squirrel acts like a chicken who drank 3 pots of coffee. "
