21. Hmm, that sounds sort of limiting...
I'll eat most anything that doesn't eat me first. How about shrimp slaw?

3. Deer cubes
Cube up some filet'd deer meat into 2" x 2" cubes. Butterfly them open halfway. Put a slice of a jalapeno(no seeds)in the opening. Wrap the cube in a half or a whole piece of bacon(I use cheap bacon for this).Toothpick the bacon on it or use a skewer and shiskebob 6 or 7 on the skewer. Marinate 3 or 4 hours in Lawry's herb and garlic marinade. Cook over charcoal. Watch them carefully because the bacon drips and they will take off on you. They cook in about 10 minutes depending on the intensity of your charcoals. Serve over a bed of wild rice. Yummy.

6. Ooh, sounds good!
You've probably fried venison backstrap (Canadian bacon), haven't you? One of the best foods known to man when breaded and fried, then served with smashed taters and milk gravy. Mmm!

16. I'm with you.
I love venison! Mom used soak deer steaks overnight in salt and vinegar-water then batter and fry them. She'd cover them in onions and bake them in the oven an hour or so. Melt in your mouth! :-)

Caviar on Carr's Table Water Crackers, Caesar salad, fillet mignon, blood rare (cold in the middle), new potatoes, French bread, a decent Bordeaux with the meal, Turkish coffee and Turkish cigarettes after.

23. Hard call.
Edited on Sat Nov-27-04 05:45 AM by Seldona
I would take 2 dozen chicken wings, deepfried for about a half an hour, and dipped in a Redhot/butter mixture, along with a pound of celery and a bowl of good bluecheese dressing.

Along with an icecold 12 pack of a local brew, Sandcreek. On tap would be better. Oh and frozen mugs.

The Amber.

I am a su chef by trade (was anyway), but got to love the standards.

27. Thank you. You've got to try my version of "Papadeaux's Crawfish Bisque"
I don't know how to use a light touch, but it's delicious!

Here's a recipe I love! I always double the amount of crawfish, and put about half of it through a blender to thicken and flavor the bisque. I also use much more of the bell pepper, and substitute roasted red peppers for their mellower flavor and color. Uh, I'll admit to adding more paprika, too. I'm heavy handed with all the ingredients. This is a dynamite recipe, and works well with shrimp substituted, or added to the crawfish. I'm sure it would be exquisite using lobster.
Papadeaux's Crawfish Bisque
Ingredients:
3 lb. Crawfish
2 oz Olive Oil
1 tsp. Paprika
1/8 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 qt. water
1/2 C. each, chopped: onion & green bell pepper
1 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
3 C. Whipping Cream
1/2 C. Chopped Tomato
2 oz Brandy (4 Tbsp.)

Preparation:
1. Boil crawfish in a large pot of water. Drain & cool until crawfish can be handled easily, remove tail & save shells. Refrigerate tail meat.

2. Heat oil in large sauce pan or Dutch oven. Add crawfish shells, paprika & cayenne. Sauté 5 minutes. Add water & bring to boil. Reduce heat & simmer 30 minutes.

3. Strain liquid into another pan. Crush shells to remove remaining liquid & add that liquid. Discard shells.

4. Return to heat and add onion, bell pepper, tomato paste, cream & tomato. Simmer 1 hour, stirring frequently. Add brandy and crawfish tail meat. Simmer 10 minutes. Serve hot.
