What's cooking?

Congrats Jim you have succeeded. uch

 

I can honestly say I've never seen torture by shrimp before....

 

It's agonizing.

 

Its wonderful!
The season ended yesterday here in the lowcountry, time to move on to Oysters now.

 

Yep. That's a Kunz spoon.

 

I can live with pictures like that.

 

Hoping for oyster pics Jim!

 

Pending, was sidetracked today into fried chicken.

 

My mother makes awesome fried chicken. Cast iron baby!
I haven't quite mastered her recipe.

 

Game hens.

Gave them a good rub down with grape seed oil and spices. Stuffed the insides with onion and oranges, and also added some honey...just because.

 

Not bad but I won't do it again.

 

Nice work! Why not again?

 

I didn't like the taste very much. Could have been how it was cooked. Should have stuffed it with bell peppers, garlic and celery. Instead I did an onion and an orange haha.
To me it tasted a little more "gamey" than a regular ole chicken.
Could all be a mental thing too.

 

Nah, they do have more flavor than a regular yardbird- some smoke can be nice with them.

 

Might be something for the grill!

 

Everything is something for the grill.

Jim nailed it - the difference in taste is because the flavor has been bred out of chickens, not so much the game hens. Enjoy it. A mix of apples and onions stuffed inside is a good thing.

 

My first time going toe to toe with a game hen. No wonder why it tasted funny then

 

Patty stuffed with cheese and banana peppers. Smoked and candied bacon. Just gluttony.

 

Hunter pork (roast pork tenderloin, cut into chunks and put into a mushroom sauce & topped with cheese) & roast asparagus. Forgot to put bacon in the pork, but it was pretty good anyway.

 

Nice looking plate Lucretia!
