Eating Wild Game With Just Me - Granny D

Every year we harvest the bounty of the earth and preserve the harvest to ensure there is plenty of food on the table all winter.  Eating wild, whether wild game or plant, fowl or fish offers nutrition, nature's vitamins, natural supplements and decreases ingestion of man made chemicals and preservatives.  When accurately dressed and prepared, various foods of the wild can become enticing dishes that will tempt the harshest critic to sample, and become the preferred diet of many.  In our household, deer jerky, rabbit stew, barbqued squirrel, fishfrys, roasted pheasant or grouse, deer burgers and steaks are dishes that rank amongst our favorites.  Add some fried morel mushrooms or a mess of mixed greens and perhaps some fried dandelion tops with fried green tomatoes or a casserole of Queen Anne's lace roots with green apples and brown sugar and you have a meal no one will soon forget - plus there will be no leftovers!!!  Add a green apple pie or some sliced chilled pawpaws with whipped cream and walnuts - your dessert will compliment your meal.

Over the years we have discovered some great tips and tricks for eating wild game and wild plants - we have also found and tweaked some amazingly delicious recipes.  This blog is to focus on those tips and recipes and all helpful hints for eating wild, eating free, and eating good!  Check in often for new recipes, tips and identifying photos to help distinguish what is edible and what isn't.
