Favorite Hunt Camp Meal???

Fresh kill usually cook the heart and liver for a good meal for a few people, cut a heart into strips and into a cast iron pan it goes. Boiled elk or moose tongue is good with a little bit of carrots and potatoes and onion. Nothing beats a moose nose though, only one way to cook it, boil the snot right out of it.
 
A simple yet heart meal, pan fried smoked gammon, with Spanish / Mexican rice and black beans in a tomato based sauce. All cooked separately and then mixed together as a one bowl wonder.

Something about this combination, cannot be made the same at home, it seems to need burn edges and wood smoke in it to be so good!.

Fall is coming........

At our camp, we are really enjoying the bacon wrapped ,cream cheese stuffed jalapeno peppers off the BBQ one of the guys hand-makes brings out. Great APPY's !! Been 2-3 years now of this .

Another guy would bring out large frozen oysters, cook on the BBQ, shuck them, and then add crushed up Salt and Vinegar chips/Habanero Cheese and Red Frank's hot sauce. :dancingbanana::dancingbanana:

WE eat like KINGS at camp.

Moose straps cut into thick medallions, brushed with melted butter and then seared over a HOT fire so that they are blue rare inside and charred on the outside...

...walleye or trout fillets dipped in egg, rolled in Corn Flake crumbs and then panfried in butter, served with beans and home fries...

...whole rabbit, cooked slowly over a low wood fire, basted with barbecue sauce that has a healthy dollop of whiskey added...

...cheese'n'potato perogies, sunny eggs, bacon, garlic kielbasa and beans, served with strong black coffee...

...and finally...best of all...probably never to be tasted again, now that we have all learned to be afraid of a world full of "new diseases"...

...eggs scrambled together with the brains of the previous day's deer or moose, fried in bacon fat...pure ambrosia!

I was following you until that last one ....
 
My buddy from McAllen Texas makes homemade nachos. He cuts pure corn tortillas in 4, pan fries them in oil, cools and dries them on papertowel, then spreads refried beans on each one, places them on a cookie sheet, spreads tex-mex cheese and jalapenos over the entire pan, pops it in the oven, melts the cheese good, then pulls them out and spreads chopped onion and fresh chopped tomato over top then we dig in!! Fantastic!!

Another favorite is pulled goose breast on a panini.

And we always have at least one fresh fish fry....if we catch lots two or three!!

The rest of the time its homemade lasagna, stews etc. prepared and frozen before we left and for an evening snack with beer or your favorite beverage it's cajun spiced mallard breast pieces fried in butter!! Mmmmmmm

I'd like to say don't knock it till you try it...but with all the horror stories about Mad Cow and Chronic Wasting disease and God-knows-what else, that probably wouldn't be wise.

If you have ever tried eggs scrambled with cheese and some lobster, it's somewhat similar. Not likely to appear on the menu at Denny's anytime soon, but nevertheless very good.

I consider lobster to be the equal of eating brains. Just big bugs from the bottom of the sea ...

And meat? Just chunks of muscle tissue sliced from an animal...

Fish? Scaly, slimy, smelly...who ever thought of eating those?

Milk: squeezed from the udder of a cow or some other female mammal...sounds delish...of course, if the idea offends, one can always subject the milk to a sort of controlled spoiling process to create cheese or butter or yogurt.

And eggs...potatos...wine...I'd mention escargots and calamari, but I bet you won't touch those either. Jeez, man, if you think too hard about the source of foods you'll never eat anything again. :)
 
...simply carved chunks of open-fired fresh meat...meat alone...slab after slab until you are stuffed...with plenty of salt and good water

Don't forget mussels, scallops and oysters.

I remember my father tell me they use to put lobster in the garden as fertilizer. Not any more!

But my best camp meal is good out fashioned deer or moose chili and lots of fresh rolls.
 
Opening night of the first deer camp I attended featured T bone steak, as big as your plate and an inch thick, covered in mushrooms. When you made room on your plate there was mashed potatoes and gravy. I was so stuffed I could hardly walk (or was that the beer?) Slept well until the alarm went off anyway.
