Trip report - so far I have only had the chocolate ration and it was basically just cheap shelf fresh chocolate. Not great but not terrible, edible at best I've heard tell that when the Americans come over here for training they love our meals so much they go out of their way to trade for them.

Sometimes people with large secondary fridges in their garage or basement obtain a large amount of meat from a single animal. I'm always very jealous of these people.

Yeh we have a 280L chest freezer in our house that has a few kg left of our half lamb and the majority of the whole pig. Speaking of I need to get some scales this afternoon so that i can mix up my cures for the bacon I'm making.

I want my deep chest freezer in my fantasy kitchen to be right next to the door so I can just huck heavy stuff in there from the outdoors. I also want that kitchen door to walk right out to my outdoor kitchen / butchery area, which I figure will be a nicely draining concrete pad under an awning, with a stainless steel countertop, outdoor sink, hoses, block and tackle system, propane stove and fans. Oh, and the grill.

One of the things I miss about the US is there's always some friend of a friend who has a deer in a deep freezer somewhere and will happily give you a pile of venison if you ask.

My fiancee's from a farming family that sells their wares at two local farmers markets. They give us free stuff whenever we go, since they always have multiple freezers full of meat of every kind.

I used to work in a medical clinic out in the country and it's amazing what people would bring in to show appreciation for keeping them from not dying. Fresh eggs Wild honey One lady had a huge organic farm and would bring in boxes of veg - (though I never touched those again after the box that was swarming with ticks) Christmas baking! First boil maple syrup - we had a Muslim student one time and we offered him a bottle of syrup, but it was all repackaged in old liquor bottles because, country, and he got all flustered about not drinking - his mother loved it. No one brought in meat per se as it was a little too dear but you'd get good deals from them if you wanted them. One lady grew the most wonderful hams.

Geese are the one animal I think I'd have trouble eating because the York city geese use the pedestrian crossings when they have babies and it's a bit too human.

Geese are jerks that trample the ducks when you show up at the duck pond because they want food.

Because of climate change, snow geese populations are exploding. For a Saskatchewan resident now, you have no limit as to how many geese you can take.

mllaneza posted:That was a mistake. Goose is delicious, and you can save the fat and cook amazing potatoes. This might have been a changing fashion in cooking thing I think people used to broil geese like turkey today - only goose took much longer, and the meat was much greasier. Turkey might have been easier and smaller, not to mention lighter. Since we're talking meat while our host eats a chinese MRE and wonders if he was expected to add noodles or something, god, this is a deathmarch of bad meat... Seal tastes like cow that has been regularly fed fish amazingly though it might be a extra-healthy meat, as it contains nearly all the nutrients you usually get from plants

I've heard penguin is terrible and tastes like really fishy, greasy chicken. Probably no one has done this in decades, though.
