My grandfather used to trap in the Maine woods as a young boy. And poaching has always been more than a cooking method. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In Europe, the best hunting grounds were often off-limits to anyone but kings and nobility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 when a Western European talks about hunting you know you are a few drinks away from hearing something come out of someone's mouth that will absolutely horrify you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Orik Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I remember how just after we moved to Minneapolis, our dear governor said: Quote "And I'll just tell you this: Until you've hunted man, you haven't hunted yet," Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I guess there are regs against serving it commercially if it's hunted locally? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 A visitor having business with the lord arrives at a great manor house in Western Europe. He is greeted by the lady of the house. "And where is your husband?", the visitor asks, after pleasantries have been exchanged. "He's out shooting peasants," says the lady. "You mean pheasants," the visitor says. "You don't know your game." "I mean peasants," the lady answers. "You don't know my husband." 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
