Fellas,
If ya come frum a big family 'er one where it wuz hard ta put the three squares on the table, ya know bout chicken necks. There aint enuff breasts ta go round. If ya wuz hongry [worse than hungry], ya gnawed on the neck. The meat wuz better'n ya figgered, but it wuz hard ta git at. I seen rite off that the wings wuz the best eatin'......jest not enuff to em.
Two days ago Lance dropped by with some fresh deer. Like most hunters, he whacked off the eazy stuff....tenderloin 'n hindquarters. Hiz four kids all live within 5 miles. That means there iz near bout 15 grandkids ta feed. Cuz hiz kids ('n one 12 year old granddaughter) whack Bambi ever chance they git, I dont figger I will ever git no more hindquarter....much less any tenderloin frum them, but he brung me a neck, some various parts 'n two front legs. [He 'n hiz granddaughter both dropped one.]
Dont git me wrong. I make a big daddy dip dog funky monkey chili frum any ground up venison, but I learnt somethin' today. Choppin' up a deer neck aint eazy like a hindquarter. I figger I dulled a Taiwaneze "never sharpen" knife on it. I'm still ahead.....a $7 knife fer 20 pounds of deer meat.
Miz Bear iz cookin' sweet cakes fer the office party tomorrow nite 'n the ice box iz mitey crowded. We froze most of the venison, but I put the neck in the crockpot this mornin'. I sprinkled some black pepper, red pepper 'n garlic powder on it 'n slow cooked it 6-7 hours.
No fat in a deer neck. I saved the juice fer gravy. I pulled all the eazy meat off 'n set down 'n gnawed on the neck fer supper. It wuz jest like the times I come up suckin' hind tit with a fried chicken neck, cept bigger.
All the neck meat in the ice box mite turn inta fine barbecue. Since ya'll know I wuz a long time Memphis in May barbecue judge, that oughta tell ya how tasty this meat iz. If the rest of it tastes az good az the neck, I likely wont buy no meat fer a while.
I dont figger I will make any deer neck stew, but if I did, it would knock yer knickers off.
regards
