It was a small private party, don't feel to bad about missing your invite. When we do the big bash here in a couple months you'll be invited.
As for the Highlanders, they are a unique breed. Looks like a cross between a cow and an English sheepdog. If one was trying to make a living off of...
Life gets busy and I haven't been able to post up here in a long time so I figured what better comeback then a beautiful prime rib roast? This comes off a beef we raised ourselves and if it looks a little small, that's because it is. We raise Scottish Highlanders which when fully matured and...
I wouldn't smoke it first. Any wild game is so lean that smoking small pieces low and slow will dry them out. The best way to cook backstrap is however you like your steak. Personally, I just put salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic on it and grill to medium rare. Go light on the onion and...
The Tamales are all gone right now and I haven't gotten more geese to do it again. It takes all day to make. Goose legs need to be braised for many hours (minimum 4 and have gone 6) with lots of flavorings. I used cumin, Mexican oregano, several types of dried chilies, garlic, salt and pepper...
I hunt with a couple of guys who only used goose for jerky. Now they all want me to turn their breasts into pastrami and I've developed my own goose leg tamale recipe that prevents half the bird from going to waste and is another crowd pleaser.
Tell your friend my condolences for living in Rock...
I understand the whole thing about not posting links to outside sources but Honest Food has the absolute best wild game recipes you will find on the internet. My personal favorite with goose breasts now is to make pastrami following his directions, but you can probably do it with Pop's Brine as...
I'm sorry I'm so late with this. I'm sure it is to late for the birds that your boys brought home a week ago, but I'm sure you'll have more. Here is a link to the best advice one can get. http://honest-food.net/2011/12/27/how-to-make-smoked-duck/
I have only done one so far. I will do many...
Looks good. I've got some goose jerky sitting in marinade right now until I'm done with my goose pastrami. I've made a ton of jerky using the oven and the dehydrator, but I have still never smoked any. Maybe I'll do that next time.
As far as recipes, get creative. The best advice on cut...
For all of you looking for a disc to make one of these from, go talk to a farmer. We have to replace them all the time and every farm I know of has a pile of old discs in their back lot. My father and I are cleaning up my great uncles place and have thrown literally hundreds into the scrap iron...
That is a good thing. It means you have a good seal.
I'm still in a cast from my broken wrist but once it comes off a mini is going to be built and I'll use my own sheet metal for it.
Looking to see if you have any followup, Duke? I am thinking about doing this same thing myself instead of buying a pot. Seems cheaper and should give a better fit if I make all the right cuts.
