Gods I'm getting hungry

[SeaCat]

Picked up two beautiful New York Strips today. Nicely marbeled they are with that nice thick strip of fat along one side. Should I mention that they are both a full three inches thick?

I got them home this morning and immediatly gave them a nice rub with Olive Oil, fresh minced Garlic, fresh minced Onion and cracked black Pepper.

Of course this isn't the entire meal.

Salad
Freshly toasted French Bread spread with my own Garlic Butter.
Loaded Mashed Potatoes.

In a couple of minutes I'll be tossing the Steaks on the grill. Five minutes to a side over high heat and they will be done to perfection.

When I picked them out a woman saw what I had in hand and started telling me how this was a crime against God and Animals. My reply was God had intended us to be Carnivors otherwise he would have made Beets taste like good beef and Beef taste like Pickled Beets.

I don't begrudge anyone meat - god knows I'm no vegan....but how can someone eat THAT MUCH at a sitting? More than about 4 ounces of whatever fills me* (when served with a lovely salad.)



*no sexual innuendo intended. You have a dirty mind.

Haven't read the Bible lately but I doubt it's changed much. Last read and there were all these references to offering up to God the fatted cow, choice lamb or whatever source of meat was available. Don't recall anyone offering up a choice turnip.

There are references to game as a source of food, as well. But Evangelistic Vegetarians are just like any other ignorant fanatic. They only read the parts that agree with what they want to believe.

What the fuck. You're a cannibal, man, just get hungry and see.

Slow your roll. Are you that fucking dense that you didn't clearly see the joke I made? Get your head out of your ass and fix yourself before you post anymore. Do not come at me like that ever again.

Harvesting game, within the right and proper Laws of Conservation...

I draw the line at primates but otherwise, meat is meat. 'Look, a wild boar!' BANG! 'Look, barbecue!'

The first duck I shot was a rabbit and I hit it with a stick.

The best meat that walks in N. America is a young cow muskox. The best meat that walks the earth is an eland!

The best meat that flies is a francolin.

The best meat that swims is an Arctic char. You Canadian guys have it good!

LOLOL

The joke in my place is "If it moves it might be lunch". Much to some peoples consternation this might be closer to the truth than they are comfortable with.

Remember I am the one who threatened to eat his neighbors dogs.

Some things are safe however. Bi-Valves are safe as I can't eat them. Housecats are safe as I have a couple of them. Racoons and 'Possums are safe from ending up in the stew because I have tried them and found them too greasy for my taste. (Although that too depends on just how hungry I am.) Most insects and arachnids are safe as well, I haven't gotten that hungry yet.

Some things I just have no interest in trying. Fugu, Birds Nest Soup and Long Pig all head that list.

I have no problem with hunting, it is needed in most places to keep the animals under control.

Cat,

Just a thought, but guinea pig is DELICIOUS.

So I have heard but I haven't had the chance to try it. (For some reason the nieghborhood kids keep theirs inside.)

I walked past a nice brisket in the market today. Kept circling back around, building up the nerve to take a closer look. Picked it up and thought about the possibilities, but left it alone in the end. As bad as I want to, I'm not sure if I have the skill and attention span to take on a such a chore.

There's a great run of sockeye on the Babine River. Where I go fly fishing for them is not too far from the ocean and they are still silver bright. Fat, buttery red meat, full of omega-3 but I still eat it anyway. It's hard to decide what's better; onto the barbecue as shore lunch that very day or smoked, then canned, to be savoured with Oban in front of the winter fire place.

I've heard it's good but isn't it a bit chewy?

Brisket? Is a snap. Get a jar of commercial rub and give it a good coat then stick it in the slow cooker all day. If you are a fond of garlic as I am, rub a couple three cloves all over it before you put on the dry rub. I'd pour in either an amber lager or some decent red wine in the pot with the beef bouillon and then soak up the sauce at dinner with warm sour dough bread. A green salad and a good bottle or two and the King and his Sheriff can go hang!

And now for something totally stupid.

I knew a girl named Bambi once and she didn't look anything like that.

Have you ever noticed that almost every strip place has a woman named Bambi? Why is that? Is she supposed to be cute and taste good? (MOst of those I have seen didn't look like they would qualify for either reason.)

HA! In Peru, they have the BIGGEST guinea pigs I've ever seen. They can be about as big as a small dog. Roasted on a spit, delicious. Dark meat, very very slightly sweet. The skin is good too.

Sounds good to me.
I was kind of wondering because the Guinea Pigs I have seen are pretty damned small. Can't be whole lot of meat on one. (About like Squirrels but without the attitude.)

I was definitely shocked at this one guinea pig farm we saw. We stopped at a little spot in Cuzco in what looked like it used to be a kind of military fort, but is now just recreational. You can go around the inner perimeter and play all kinds of traditional games, the Peruvian equivalent of what would be like tiddlywinks and horseshoes, that sort of thing. There was a huge sunken pen inside this old fort with all these guinea pigs running around inside it. Guinea pigs here in America and sweet and tame, but these guys were just wild. They're bred to be eaten there. And why not? The place was just overrun with them!!

Cuy (guinea pig) is a delicacy, especially in Cuzco, Peru. We went to a roadside restaurant where they have these big spits and picnic tables all over the place. Very down home setup. You get a soda and cuy. It's best when drunk with Coke or Inca Kola.

Oh yum.....
