Week 11- Animal=Pheasant
Wild pheasant, shot and killed by either my father in-law or brother in-law and retrieved by their Black Lab was the animal of the week.
Very gamy smell before grilling. Pheasant was cleaned and split into the breast section and leg and thigh section. I grilled over indirect heat and smoked using apple wood chips.
Result: Pheasant had a nice flavor, very close to chicken. the texture was much tougher than we would have liked. This could be contributed to the amount of time on the grill or the age of the pheasant (unknown). Either way it was not terrible. Probably won't add to the rotation but would not be opposed to trying it again. The Spouse summed it up as, "Tough. Tough but more edible than the frog or rabbit." The boy preferred his Beefaroni.
Results of the February poll requested Alligator. Stay Tuned...
