Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

Have tried venison, wild boar, goat (not game, but less commonly eaten meat in North America), buffalo, quail, ostrich...can't think of what else. Liked them all. I would try almost any animal as long as it was either raised for meat or properly hunted...but I do have a double standard for dogs, having grown up living with one. I know it is hypocritical; I'm OK with that.

Don't know if its considered 'game' but enjoyed some Wild Boar last night at a local favorite Italian eatery called Fratelli's in New Rochelle, N.Y. The rib and steak from the boar were loaded with flavor...also had a variation of this dish at Peter Kelly's X20 in Yonkers...

Melmelmeow: My family have the worst luck with hotpots. We only get around to using our (electric) hotpot several times a year, and these things spoil if you don't use them regularly. We were replacing ours every year for a while before we gave up. Hotpot at home is the best though -- you get to select the best ingredients for much less, and everyone is free to be at their rowdy best =) We especially like tossing in Korean kimchi dumplings.

Holy crap that is cute. *dies of cuteness overload*

mister donut is awesome! i was just in taipei for two weeks and we finally caved and bought enough donuts to get enough points for three keychains - one for each of us. they are just as adorable in real life as they look. i was looking around google the other day, and a previous promotion was a pon de lion bento box and bag, which is pretty much amazing.

huneybumper you statement of the die more humanely is NOT ALWAYS TRUE
especially when the hunter uses 4-5 shots and just wounds the animal and has to chase it for an hour as it suffers
i have heard stories from hunters and the worst part is some of them get their rocks off when this happens

Oh I love it! My grandpa goes hunting (elk and moose), but doesn't usually manage to bring anything home. This makes my grandma happy, 'cause she hates the stuff (cooking it and eating it), and me sad, because I love the stuff.

I'm secretly hoping to magically acquire some hunting friends where I live now, so I can "help" them out when they have too much...

I like eating game, I think it tastes delicious and is morally much preferable to eating most farm-raised animals. My buddy's girlfriend gave him a lot of grief when he wanted to go bow-hunting on a friend's property out in West Virginia. She said it's not necessary to kill wild animals any more because we can eat farm-raised ones.
But which is preferable? Eating an animal that has had a chance to live a full life, in its natural habitat, doing whatever it is it wants to do, and which dies a fair (I think), quick, relatively painless death? Or a cow that has lived for a year-and-a-half, most of it crammed into an industrial feedlot standing in a pile of it's own excrement, eating food that is slowly killing it and antibiotics to keep it alive long enough to reach slaughter weight? Stupid Omnivore's Dilemma making me all thinky :)
Anyway judging from the above posts I may be preaching to the choir, just my two cents.
Oh and the moose story is hilarious...

My dad brought home some moose meat from a hunting trip he had taken and was determined to make a stew like they had in the wilderness. We could smell it ( I swear on anything you'd like) a mile away!! He had started cooking it inside and the odor was getting bad he said so he moved his pot outside and cooked it on a buane burner! The only thing worse than the odor was having to try to eat it! My older sister was in tears because she was so ashamed of everyone in town being able to follow the stentch to our house!!!!!!!! It was horrible to say the least!

cybercita, thanks for posting that!

i'm just reading a book called the scavenger's guide to haute cuisine, written by stephen rinella, about hunting for all the various birds, fish, and beasts needed to prepare a multicourse three day long feast using recipes by escoffier, then butchering and preparing them into elaborate concoctions like galantines, quenelles, mousses, and terrines. his point of view is sort of hard to take since i'm the type of person who will go to the park for the express purpose of feeding squirrels, but i admire his passion.
