I don't/can't grill but I went to an awesome pig roast yesterday. I have never actually seen an entire pig on a spit before.

I had a smoked peccary shank today, braised in a wine reduction. Very good. I need to eat more peccary.

bob i thought it was a health/politix thing that made you not eat chicken, but apparently it's just that you don't know how to cook it

i dont like the taste or texture

Where the heck did you buy peccary?

[Carlos del Vaca]

I made hot dogs tonight.  Hot dogs with roasted garlic-red pepper relish and manchego cheese.

american indian museum cafe - it's a great place to eat uncommon meats

I was thinking a midnight raid at the zoo.  Keepers probably get too attached to their charges to eat them, and probably ones dying of old age/disease aren't the tastiest specimens - but I've wondered if there was some sort of market for deceased residents.

Substitute "peccary" for "mother".

Weird. I thought I'd decided not to start this topic. Glad to see all the responses though.

Re: Poultry sucks

Don't extend that rule to wild birds, Bobby.  The ducks I get from my dad are extremely lean, but still have a lot of flavor because of their diet. I'd probably use lardons if I wanted to smoke or roast one. He usually just cuts off the breast meat (much easier than plucking) so that's not an option.

i made bacon cheeseburgers for lunch today.  i chopping up 7 or 8 slices of raw bacon, mixed it with 1 Lb of ground sirloin, and formed 2 1/2 Lb patties.  threw them on the grill, etc.  When all was said and done, i bit into one.  i tell you, i almost cried tears of delight!  all the bacon fat made it heavenly.

it was a Lb of meat, plus rolls, so im still too full to eat dinner.

I failed with that because beef fat and bacon fat have vastly different melting points. How did you avoid salmonella burger or well-done hockey puck with bits of bacon inside?

i chopped the bacon up as fine as i possibly could.  like, almost to a paste.  using a food processor.  and since i dont get creative with the flesh of beasts very often, it very well could have been a fluke.

Surprisingly good grilled:

- Rice Krispy Treats (sear quickly on high heat to avoid overmelting; let re-firm before serving)
- Apple Pie (add fried ice cream on top for ultimate a la mode decadenc)
- Foie Gras (you will lose about half between the slats)
- Lemons (?!)
- Watermelons (soak afterward in tasty liquor of choice; port works well)

I missed the foie gras and lemons portion of the evening. Lemons would probably be especially good with that miracle fruit.
