Surely I'll get flamed seriously for this. It's OK. flambee is one way to prepare food.

I've waded through about ten pages of this category. Lotsa "potage" and stews, fried, and cassserole.

E.g. maple syrup is NOT a marinade for BBQ, nor is Coca-Cola, root beer. Squirrel is a rodent.

I just poached a Chinook filet in a court bouillon with a little balsamic vinegar, fines herbes, trinity veggies, tomato.

You could do this with rabbit too, only I'd probably go with a mir poix rather than the trinity.

Seems like if we're going to humanely kill these animals, we should humanely prepare them.

-- OK, flame away.

I'm with you. The most flavorful part of a deer is the shanks. Usually thrown out or ground up when braised in onion/carrot/celery/tomato they are very flavorful . Similar treatment is great for goose also.

There is no finer way to prepare salmon than to poach it. You could also make a reductin with the court bullion and use it for the base of a sauce. Poached salmon and bearnaise sauce-yumm.

I'd never flame a gourmand

Real cooking,

How 'bout a good gumbo, maybe a sauce picaunte, don't count out a good courtbullion or an etouffee and then a good old crawfish or shrimp boil if everything else fails.

Boudreau and Thibadeau down in the Parish, sittin' round the pot-bellied stove with the Constable:

"Well," says the Constable, "I got some good news, and I got some bad news.

Bad news is we found Ol' Dame Flambeaux face down in the water, just un peu a travers the levee. Tout a fait morte! Ouuuuuuuuuu eyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeee.

Good news is . . . she was covered with a whole big ol' pot full of them there blue shell crabs!

Laisser les bons temps rouler!"

Really good news is....They'r going to pull her up again tomorrow.

Poaching is for eggs and unlicensed hunters; grilling is for salmon.....

Did someone mention a shrimp boil? This past weekend at the ranch, we had a "frogmoor stew" which is shrimp, sausage, small red potatoes, corn on the cob, and whatever else you like boiled in a good shrimp/crab boil seasoning and poured on the table on brown paper for everyone to dig into. We didn't pour it on the table since it was cool enough that the food would have been cold by the time we got to the second plate.

Unfortunately for the rest of the gang, I had to eat the remainder of the cold shrimp before I left camp on Sunday. Dang the bad luck!!

And now there is a woman who is suing Kraft Foods because the Guacamole didn't have enough avocado [only a very small percentage ] !!! But the ingredients were all listed on the label ! Make it yourself !

dustoffer, had made a stew in deer camp in Va a couple of weeks ago. Just forget the crab boil. With good smoked sausage and chopped onions and pepper the flavor is great in fact better. I don't do the potatoes just filler. I was sorry there were no shrimps left for lunch the next day.
