Just butcher them in the fall, so you don't have to feed um in the winter.....

I suspect that due to Lannie he would have to sell em instead.

 

[The Cromwell]

Never was fond of goat (including antelope, of which we have a lot nearby) or mutton...

Yep do not like sheepy meat either.
elk now is good but do not care for deer either.
Cows and pigs now are right tasty.

I'm with you, Bob....but I can't eat wild game, makes me gage for some reason. I don't eat meat at all now, but when I did....no like wild meat.

It would be a cold day in hell before I ate sheep or goat too........

 

[Draconigena]

Elk? Yup. Deer? Only if it is aged well and cooked properly. Beef? YUP YUP YUP! Pigs? Yup. And chicken...

Only goat I eat is in pepperoni on pizza. That is quite tasty

Yep most all wild meat is just too strong and gamey for me.
And Duck/goose is like eating pigeon, pretty yuck.

Duck, goose, pheasant, and rabbit are all way too greasy for my delicate palate.

 

[The Cromwell]

A hunk of seared decaying bovine flesh is just scrumptious. some ground horseradish, baked potato and salad with a hunk of fresh yeast bread.....
Damn getting hungry time to go for midnight snack.
A pint of Nestles Quick?

Don't care much for the grey meat...

Chateaubriand and North Atlantic Lobster dipped in melted butter... or
Filet Mignon and baked potato with sour cream and bacon bits and cheese
YUMMY!

Now your talking my lingo.....love lobster, or langostino's

 

[Draconigena]

Which definition of langostino do you like? In the USA, that word refers to squat lobster, but In Spain, it means some species of prawns. In Cuba and other Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands, it is used to refer to crayfish. In South America, it is a specific shrimp.

 

[Jimi]

I'll just stick to my veggies, nuts and fruit

I've only ate them in S. America....they are about twice the size of a jumbo shrimp, and taste fantastic when BBQ-ed with garlic butter

Sounds yummy to me. I love jumbo prawns/shrimp in most forms of cooking (including beer battered and deep fried).

Just wish I could afford 'em... out here in the prairie, oceanic foods are "imported" and are cost prohibitive to us peons.

Can't really find fresh seafood in Arizona, therefore I don't buy any. Anything they do sell is old and very expensive...no idea why being so close to the pacific.

 

[Jimi]

You guy are making me hungry too, I love seafood.

 

[Draconigena]

Well, like here, they have a captive audience... the "customer" isn't likely to have a yacht moored at the nearest ocean (or Gulf of California to you) that he flies to every weekend, so if you want seafood, they are gonna charge you an arm and a leg to get it.

With about 4 million people living in and around the greater Phoenix area you would think there would be customers....but apparently there isn't many.

 

[inspects]

Even in S America, good seafood is a rare find, most folks eat chicken and pork....rarely will you find a place to even buy a good steak....unbelievable.

 

[inspects]

Now they love Ceviche.....but that isn't my cup-o-tea

I am sure more people would buy it if the price was reasonable. A very large percentage of Phoenix residents are retired northerners, last time I checked, a lot of New Englanders... so maybe there is an opportunity there for a profitable business. Run a semi to San Diego and back every other day and open a "Fresh Seafood" market in Phoenix.

 

[choderfett]

Hi Chouder, hope it helps your back please let me know if it does I have been thinking about getting some one of these days my friend

Will do.. trying to make sure I need to dissolve it in 50/50 juice...

Love try try rabbit.. heard rack of rabbit is awesome!

I've thought about that more than once.

Raw fish? Well, it is the national dish of Peru...

I thought there were a lot of beef cattle down there?

Yeah, a smorgasbord of every type of bottom feeding fish available.

On the east coast, but they must export the meat, you don't see it in stores.

 

[inspects]

Don't you raise beef cattle?....I think I asked you in the past, but don't remember the answer.

 

[Draconigena]

If it is all exported (assume for the profit?), that would be why steak is not found in restaurants. Or do the locals just not like beef?

 

[Draconigena]

Dairy crossed with beef. We're in it for the milk. But I have one steer who is mostly Angus who is due to go to the butcher this summer.

I think the locals are into chicken and pork, because they raise them. Never seen an angus in S A

Oh, but guinea pigs are a local favorite, never tried one, but people go ballistic at a guinea pig feast.

 

[JuicyLucy]

Wassup.. sorry was watching a movie on the tv.. now waiting on the misses to get ready to do a Costco run..
Got some cbd isolates in today.. hope it helps with the back pain

Where did you get yours?

I'm determined to order some isolates this weekend to make my own - the commercial stuff is just too damn expensive

Chicken is, at the moment, the main meat here at Love Acres. But after that steer comes back from the butcher, we'll be doing steaks and roasts for about three years.

Guinea Pigs? That little creature that is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig? What about boars? Don't they have a bunch of them down there? I used to hunt Javelina when I lived in Tucson.

 

[choderfett]

You all making me hungry again... lol

 

[Jimi]

Ewe guinea pig, on that i am going to go soak my wearry bones in a hot tub of epsom salts, G'Night my friends

There are boars, but just about everyone has a couple pigs in various stages of life prior to butchering it.

I have Javelina's in the backyard at night, I feed them veggie scraps. They stink so bad I couldn't figure out how anyone could possibly eat one, let along skin the damn thing, you can smell them coming a quarter mile away....man they are REALLY pungent....

I doubt there is a shortage of seafood on the islands....

I didn't noticed a really bad smell about the ones I hunted (between Mt. Wrightson and Tombstone), but back then, I also did not do my own skinning and processing, and when the butcher was done, although a little gamey, they weren't too different from a pig.

Oh my god, those things stink to high heaven. Maybe there a different bred in the Tucson area....duh hogs here are nothing I would even touch, let alone skin.....

This is way out on a limb, but could it be the difference between the ones I found in the mountains who ate only on the wild and the ones near Scottsdale who live on the flat and are eating the garbage humans throw out?

There is no difference....I could smell a Javelina when they got close to me while deer hunting, damn they are rendolant..!

 

[inspects]

Perhaps the heat perpetuates the smell?

And I've never seen one alone, they travel in packs, usually a dozen or more, which probably allows me to smell that odor much easier.

Boil them out of the skin. That's how we did when a friend had us to their place to slaughter, well domestic hogs at any given. After you boil the skin loose from them you can take it from the cauldron and start cutting it up to make 'cracklins' or pork rinds. Cut the skin up and dump it all slowly and carefully down into a 55 gallon steel drum of hot lard/veggie oil/peanut oil, let it deep fry. Our friend was taught along the belief you used everything, or at least as most of it you could. Pickled snout can be yummy during Autumn in stews, or right out of the picklin's jar/s.

And sow's ears can make good coin purses. T'is the reasoning behind the expression, "oh your wife she got the sow's ear" meaning your wife was in charge of the money.

Wow. Boy do I now feel ancient, membering I learned about the sow's ear as a wee little boy. Ah well, least I'm still going.

Never! Gonna be hitting Chinatown tomm.. I’ll post some picks of the fish avliable then!

Did you perhaps mean "redolent"? (emitting an odor, very aromatic)

The ones I tracked in the mountains SE of Tucson were usually in groups of two to four.

My phone picked Rendolant, but you got the drift....
