Nice Moose!

This.....

Oh I recently did some moose cooking from a buddies moose and thought I would share.... All three preparations were very tasty!

Moose 3-Ways (lots of pics)

First of all I have to say that this was a very rewarding and fun series of cooks and I really enjoyed developing these apps to enter in Throwdown! Introducing the moose: A buddy of mine got this up north, in the Canada landscape..... Nice bull!!!! If you have never had or worked with moose...

Oh, Man those look Amazing. I too have never had Moose. I'm thinking they'd go great alongside a Moosehead beer and some Moose Tracks for dessert, lol. Great Job!!!

AJ, Very nice job on the dogs and a very nice spread on your moose!

 

[DougE]

I can't say that I have ever eaten moose, but I'd be all over those dogs. Fantastic work!

Magnificent animal

I was fortunate enough to harvest a nice bull last September! Lots of good meat!

Where did you get in the hunt?
The're on the comeback again in Minnesota. Doubt I will ever get in the lottery. This wintering in Florida cuts out most of the big game hunting.

Nice batch!!!

==============================================


Taste like chicken.

Moose tastes very similar to their cousins, caribou.
OK, most of you have not experienced that wonder meat, either.
Oh you sheltered people.
A rich incomparable flavor similar to beef, but then again not beef.

My preference for hot dogs would be beef fat. Not a criticism, but my preference. Beef fat is a higher temperature ingredient. It withstands the grilling temps better on the grill when cooking as a comparable hot dog.
I also prefer hot dogs in the 32mm hog size. Anything less feels as a snack sick in the bun.

Great looking dogs for sure. I know I would love those.

Moose is my favorite meat roasted, fried, stewed etc.

As for the Moosehead Beer, Was bottled here in Town , but now in New Brunswick.
Shipped all over Canada , USA, and some other countries.

Thanks for looking!

Hot dogs are on my long list of things to try! Nice work!
Never saw so many Moose as I did in Alaska.
I thought we had lots deer, until I saw how many Moose they have haha. They are pretty serious about it, and the "road kill" list for getting one.
