Meat, game - 6 cooking recipes

If, looking at the carcass of a bird, you can’t decide whether it’s a chicken, duck, goose or turkey, then it’s definitely game! In general, the broad word “game” refers not only to birds obtained through hunting, but also to mammals. In other words, quail is game, and bear is also game. In this regard, the preparation of game will depend entirely on what kind of meat we currently have. If we have a game bird in front of us, we should treat it in much the same way as we do with chicken or turkey meat. In general, game dishes cannot be called too common - especially at home. As a rule, game dishes are served in restaurants and themed cafes. But if one of the housewives is lucky enough to marry a hunter, then game dishes will appear on the dinner table more often than usual. But what about those who are far from hunting, and those who are genuinely shocked by the prices of game in stores? Everything is simple here: any game can be replaced with a more affordable analogue. For example, there is a game dish using quail. Quails can be easily replaced with chicken chicks. If a cookbook contains a game recipe that mentions pheasant, regular duck can be substituted. And so on. The taste of a game dish (supposedly), of course, will become different, but it will not lose its sophistication. In addition, poultry has one rather significant advantage over any game: its meat is more tender. Any game, no matter how young and fresh it is, must be soaked in a marinade before cooking. Moreover, not for an hour, not for two hours, but for a day, two and three. Only in this case will the game become suitable for food. Another important point: female game meat is tastier than male meat. However, this applies to the entire animal world as a whole.
