Favorite food - Wild food

[Adi007]

What's your favorite wild food?
Mine is probably coming across a patch of mushrooms - I just don't think you can beat field mushroom! :-D Such a treat!
What's your favorite???

[familne]

I'm quite partial to a bilberry/blaeberry or two! Aa good handful can be very refreshing on a hot day in the hills.

I used to come home laden with these as a youngster, stretched my poor mum's imagination with what to do with another bag of them

I love the delicate taste of wild garlic, and pine kernels - bring along some carnaroli rice and a little parmesan and you've got the makings of a risotto you'd pay big, big money for in a fancy restaurant!

Venison

[MartiniDave]

From the hedgerow - Green Gages when I can find them, failing that damsons or bullaces.

Game - Partridge or hare.

I agree with Buckshot - Venison!

But hedgehog fungus comes close.

Can't comment on the venison, nothing in my armoury is heavy enough or legal to take deer with. Never mind. I'll get round to trying it one day!

Dave - tucking into a sausage sandwich!

[Stuart]

Giant puffball mushrooms :-D

[EdS]

apples I recon.

Especially ones that have been "liberated" - historic house are good source of these - hope the National Trust aren't watching are they might withdraw our membership.

Young Hawthorn leaves wrapped in a Jack by the Hedge leaf.
Elder flowers taste great on a summers day.
Woodpigeon is my favourite wild meat.

Ehh, guys’ just one short language thing.
Venison is just a piece of dead deer isn’t it?
Like veal is lamb meat? Or do you need to ‘process’ it in some way (other than killing and dressing the animal)?

[Adi007]

Veal isn't lamb. it is the meat from a calf.

Yup, just the generic name for meat from a deer - same as beef is cow meat.

I had venison for dinner last night. Cooked long and slow in the oven with onions, loads of garlic, soy sauce and molasses. All cooked down until the meat is falling apart tender and coated in a thick garlicky sticky sauce. Along with a couple of homemade onion flatbreads and a salad :-D

I'm getting hungry again!

[Adi007]

Now those are a treat!!!

Giant puffball mushrooms :-D

[jakunen]

Definitely clay baked bambi with roast pignuts and reedmace root, steamed wild garlic and sauteed wild mushrooms.

Be back later guys, gotta go wipe the drool off my face and find a bag of crisps and some chocolate...

oops, well, now you say it I remember...

Whats lamb than?

hmm, I guess the reason for me not knowing is due to the reputation of the english cuisine in Europe,... :-?
no need for english cooking terms :wink:

[Stew]

It's a cute, cuddly-wuddly baby sheep.

but it tastes gorgeous! :twisted:

[Roving Rich]
