What is pheasant under glass??

We like all those other things too.

Roasted under glass .........lid.. I have to find the recipe.. I made it once.. Neighbor gave us a pheasant cleaned ...We loved it .

You will have to share the recipe if you find it.

It is not cooked under glass, it is surved under glass.. in a container with a glass top......
Smart alic saying is Pheasant under glass .

Here is the recipe, sweet and simple
I did ours in a dutch oven.
Spray the d. oven with whatever
Wash hte pheasnant
put salt and peppr on both sides
Put a thermometerin
Cover
Roast 1 hour at 250º

I suppose they serve it in the rest. with a glass cover over it to cut at the table.......

Sorry if I miss quoted..

dodge

That's okay dodge! Thanks for telling me how it is done! Will have to try that!!!

Do you hunt Pheasant?
It was very good......

I like most meat roasted.

I don't but DH does!

I just might try that sometime, for we always make our own pork sausage too. Do you have a recipe I could try?

A lady brought some deer jerky to work last year. It was ok. She made her sausage too spicey for me. She said you have too or it will be too greasy. I thought deer meat was supposed to be less greasy.

Deer meat is very dry.......And it stinks......Is why you have to add spices and grease.....She is pullin your chain.****************************

i don't think it stinks dodge. i do think it is dry and can taste "gamey" if it isn't fixed right. but lots of people put too much spice/pepper in things these days. i like mild deer sausage, good stuff!

Well lets say it has a wild game odor........we didnt care for it .
Everyone seems to give it all away around here.......Deer are plentiful.

I have a sensitive sense of smell....I can pick up everything......I sneeze all the time if someone has on perfume or after shave, or smelly stuff in the wash .
I buy everything unscented.......
I cant wear makeup cause it turns my face into a patch of itcy rash.

I think it has a strong odor too. I've heard people say it smells bloody.

Now about your face.......dodge

What about my face???????/I am allergic to scents....Makeup has junk in it and makes my face red and rashy......and itchy.

I can see if my dad can get you a recipe, if you would like. BUT as long as you have garlic in your sausage recipe i see no reason why you could not try it. BUT I will talk to dad tomorrow & see if he can even get one. I will let you know either way.

barb: about the smell--I guess either i do not notice, or my deer meat has never smelled bad--as a matter of fact it has not smelled at all that I can remember.--BUT I never eat just plainly cooked deer, either-yuck!!!-that flavor is too strong for me.
Cooking deer in Tomatoes or with garlic is like putting garlic in the oil that you fry squirrel or rabbit in. it just takes out the "Gamey/wild" taste. You do not really taste the garlic. It just makes it taste like a stronger flavored beef.

You have my sympathy.......

we use garlic and vinegar here for the gamey taste. and i guess the reason i've never really "smelled" it is because i was taught to soak it in ice water (momma always put a splash of vinegar in it, i don't) and that drains it some. scott's hunting buddy soaks his in ice/ice water for 2 days before he packages it.

i will say that a deer that is taken by still hunting does taste better than one run with dogs. i don't like or approve of dog hunting for deer.

I've never noticed a bad odor with deer meat and Mark doesn't use any tricks with his or anything.

I just don't like the taste of it, not even that it's gamey---it's just the particular taste of deer meat I don't like....

I know just what you mean, Loz--my sister fixed a big roast back in the day for my nephew's christening dinner--she made it like you would a beef roast--it smelled terriable and one could hardly eat it. nasty.

I agree with the dogs hunting thing--

and yes we use vineger on rabbit or groundhog, but I have not tasted it used in anything else???

i use it on a lot of things. and in beef and such, i put a splash in whatever stew i'm making.

The smell/taste you may not like is what a lot of folks around here call the "wild" smell/taste. I guess some of us just don't mind it.

your probably right--

Loz, I will have to send you some moose if you promise to try it. It doesn't have that gamey smell or taste to it.

make her eat crow...........

3 white tail were out in the back today. I keep saying how wonderful my dog Porter is. When I let him out, he watches them with me, but doesn't chase them.

So, that's what you're blaming it on.

Loz, if you don't like it you don't like it. I don't drink coffee and people have a hard time with that. They want me to try it with sugar or cream or cinnamon or ginger or nutmeg or whipped cream. I like all that stuff I just don't like the taste of coffee PERIOD.

Lots of people don't like coffee and that's perfectly alright, sooooooo.....we're all different and that's what makes the world go round.

that is all true

i think we were just trying to talk about ways to prepare the deer to acomplish removing wild or other disagreeable tastes---an exchange of knowledge if you will------but it is so---one must eat & drink according to each persons own tastes. :wink:

I dont like watermelon or cantalope or tea.......ha ha

No big deal.....

I don't think deer smells any different than any other meat. Last night James cut his deer that he got last weekend. He saved some big chunks for making jerky. I have to look up some recipes because I have never made it before. We save the steaks and get the rest made into sausage.

Oh my heavens how this topic has gone astray..........Is cindy Lookin?

I think my post just disappeared! Cindy's relatives must have taken it!

Cindy should give us all points for hijacking this topic! Sorry Sheri...I think Barb started it!

yep--jessica--sure--thats what happened

Totally..........

Wild meat has a different taste and texture from one place to another. Here deer meat is very greasy~guess it depends on their diet.

You have to keep an eye on Barb. She's always up to something.

I'm sure it does depend on their diet because here deer meat is dry.
