They Lined up in Wyoming for Diseased Meat

If you've never had Elk meat, it won't make sense to you. Just carrying the Brucolosis is not any reason for panic over the quality of the product.

I wish I'd been there myself.

I had a girlfriend once, yes, it's true, between blackouts and shameful exhibitions, I managed a few tangled relationships. This girl was a Hippy and left for Portland OR., where all the Hippies went. I stayed in touch with her- we were both starving artist types, though she ended marrying a very nice and successful doctor. Anyway, I was visiting there in the hippy home, various young people forming a Clan, you know how that goes, and the big event for the day was chilli. Not just any chilli, it was going to contain wild meat. I was surprised these folks ate meat, they were carnivorious Hippies. I was just getting into guns myself, and didn't think they liked the fact that one of their acquaintences shot the beast. Maybe I'm wrong. They were a hardy Clan. I don't think anyone there grew up to vote for George Bush Jr though.


The chilli cooked all day. I was sober then, and looking back, I'm not sure what I did that afternoon. They got stoned. That night we ate the chilli, and yes, it was about the tastiest chilli I've ever had. Bowl after bowl. The entire cast iron pot was depleted; all these fruit and vegitable, quartz crystal wearing, Tarro card reading, I Ching gleaning young people, full of the modern ideasand hope for the environment,chowing down hard on Mother Nature's own Roast; the Elk.

It was my first taste of wild Elk meat. It is so good that if I were a vegitarian I'd quit for a day if an opportunity came by to have some. Throw those ideals out the window- we're talking good chilli, Elk meat.

Never had Elk. I had Caribou once and it was amazing.

Not sure if that's even close to relevant....

I'd probably cook the heck out of that Elk if I was going to eat it. But I probably wouldn't touch it unless I was near starving.

Microbes scare me more than men---microbes never stop evolving;)
 
Considering the e-coli strains in our food supply that we wouldn't even have to worry about if the beef were correctly butchered.
Brucolosis concentrates in the sex organs and from what I hear isn't even a problem unless you're around a birthing place. Of course I could be wrong or mislead.

Much less a danger than that sneezing chicken who's head you're planning to bite off during your next heavy metal concert, eh? Better have a couple bottles of "Sneaky Pete" to sterilize your digestive tract first though. ;)

Elk is probably the best tasting game in North America...

Germs and such in daily life just make you stronger.
 
I've a rudimentary undertstanding of the universe and molecules. Viruses and microbes and such are disturbing to me because we are all of us just stuff, in our case stuff joined together to accomplish certain goals. Revolution can take place, and cells develope that are counterproductive, hostile, or merely useless. Anyway, in my simple munk child brain I'm not sure what does hold us/me together. "Come apart," Cancer whispers, "Come apart".

And a virus, "Hey, this is GREAT IN HERE- warm and cozy- let's mutilple."
Munk molecules know the answer; I am the god and master of munk land. But there is heresy.

I can watch a TV entertainment where a psychotic is screaming that his body is about to come apart, there is nothing holding it together, he just might as well be a bar of steel, a khuk, or Jesus, and unlike the suburban audience the program is geared to provoke and tease I have sympathy for the loon.

My confession: Sympathy for the Loon. We're made out of stuff, and where is Firkin? I need to talk to him. He knows these things.

I,ve never had Elk . It is supposed to be one of the best wild meats . Cut with a fork tender . I,m kind of a fussy gussy when it comes to diseased meat . I get the idea was that not all of it was diseased . It is said that some other wild meats must be cooked well that might contain Trichinosis (sp)
I am sure that I would do my best to get by the stigma . I guess it all depends on how hungry you are . Elk meat chili . Yum .
 
MMMM. Free meat. I'd be in line. Could use my new flashlight, and carry my FF. Just in case, you know. Sometimes Zombies attack the free meat stands. Bastard zombies. Get away from My meat.

This...is what I'm talkin bout. Once you get past the word 'tactical', once you've lost the love affair with SOF and Wanna Be Ninja stuff, black pajamas, camo toothbrushes, once you've really walked the desert, seen the Elephant, faced mortality or killed your man, you just want to be left alone in line so you can get your meat. Next to free Government Cheese and outright Manna from Heaven, there aint nothing shy of foodstamps that spells American like Tainted meat. This product is steroid free, too. And to think the Zombies will slip in, disrupt the line, cut in place...well, how much can one stand? Enoughs enough. When the Zombies start edging us out of free scraps it's time to burn Zombie Town to the Ground.

LOL.

Its quite a picture. Wonder if anyone thought to bring a barbecue pit? MMMMMMM. Elk brats. MMMMMM. Bet you could have lured a few of the meat lovers out of line with a grilled brat giveaway at the other end of the parking lot. LOL. Show up right before the giveaway. Ha Ha. Got your spot.
 
Love it. Just don't treat it like beef and you'll do fine.

Two favorite hippie experiances are a taqueria in Sonora(CA) that serves a good selection of organically produced beers. Some scary looking Artemis, with more metal in her face (and smelling of patchouli)than most scrap yards, talked beers with me for a half hour at my table as I wolfed down a delightful Verde. It was surreal. Not a latino behind the counter or in the kitchen. All hippies.
The other is Out n' About Treesort in Takilma Oregon. This band of miscreants have built themselves a sort of bed and breakfast eden that has most of its accomodations in tree houses. I say miscreants because they have been at war with the local authorities for at least a decade over how they conduct business. Interesting place. The tree houses are all fantastically finished and it's hard to book them. Nice friendly people. Had a blast.

You don't have a sig option in your user setting?

I just went through all the User CP options and controls, John, and couldn't find any sig option. I thought it was related to not being a paid member.

Dang it... I saw the give away in our paper. In fact, they gave some away in Sheridan from what I heard. Day late, dollar short. Bummer...

You CANNOT beat Elk. Even if it might have had some Brucellosis. Heck, it was still healthier than what you get in the stores :eek: Remember, you don't want to know what goes into hot dogs :D

Elk meat is delicious. My friend Brian always brings an ice chest full of elk steaks, roasts, and sausages when he comes to visit. We eat like kings!
 
Lets just put up two lines . Diseased Elk , non diseased Elk . All you guys who think nothings wrong just line up in the diseased Elk line . Its bound to be a bit shorter . L:O:L

I agree and am the first to admit I,m a fussy gussy when it comes to dealing with meat . It took me years to realise there was another choice aside from well done . Now , when I am sure of the source I enjoy it on the rare side .It is still rare I am sure of the source .
 
Brucellosis is more of a concern drinking raw milk from cows.

When I ship goats by air they have to have TB and Brucellosis testing even though with the exception of like maybe Texas and CA along the border both diseases are wiped out in goats.

However some of the first goats to come by ship to the US in recent (relatively speaking ) times killed a lot of the crew. They came from Malta and had brucellosis and on the trip everyone drank their milk.
