A meal fit for May

Well, it is the end of May.  The weather has been amazing, in fact, we were swimming today in the Bay!  Unreal.  Enough chit-chat, onto the food for the day.   Today was the essence of the Big Green Egg.  Where Saturday I smoked chicken breast that had been marinading all day in a honey ginger sauce.  Smoked it with applewood.  Sweet sweet honey.  But then Sunday.  Started with a roast beef...seared and slow cooked on the egg.  The second course was smashed parmasean potatoes.  Finally, dessert, still using the Egg, was a rhubarb brown betty (like a crisp).  All smoked with a touch of hickory/apple.  Most excellent.

Pork Chop turns 1!

On April 24th, the Pork Chop (aka Savannah) turned 1.  We celebrated with three types of bacon in the morning:  Hanover Bacon (the best bacon ever), Sullivan's classic, and a first...boar bacon.  Lunch was the ever popular pulled pork.  Yummy.  We followed supper up with a meat night celebration....see below for the meateriffic details.

NEW MEATS!

Well, a new addition, wait, I should say additions to the meat night family.  Above you, you can see these additions....on the lower left, we have musk-ox.  On the plate, you'll see two types of sausage.  On the left, elk (local too), but on the right....kangaroo.  On top, nothing less than your AAA Angus Beef steak. What a culinary extravaganza!  There is a butcher near Thornbury sells all kinds of exotic meats.  Needless to say, we've tried a few.

So, I guess the million dollar question remains....how was it?  Well, the steak was a good steak.  The musk-ox, was a little tough and lean, but tasted OK.  Elk was my personal favourite....juicy and tender.  The kangaroo was a bit dry, but tasted pretty good.  Then next time, I think we should try python.  Bottom line is....it was a great meat night.  Classic!
