Food Prices and On the Shelves Supply

[manitou]

Maybe someone can explain to me. WHY !!!! We were energy independent in gasoline and natural gas . PA gasoline was 4.39 last week AMERICAN GAS in WORTHINGTON was 3.83 Sunday . NATURAL GAS was $ 88 monthly budget plan to $146 monthly . PA HAS ALL KINDS OF NATURAL GAS and they the companies are now paying @ 2400 an acre royality. THEY HAD BEEN SHUTTING OFF the wells last couple of years for a d=couple a months at a time . BIG CORRUPT GOVERNMENT in power now .

I read an article a couple of weeks ago that the U.S. has enough oil in the ground to support the entire nation for 453 years. Additionally, we have enough natural gas to provide for over 150 years!
The U.S. has the largest gas and oil deposits in the world.
Go figure. Something is fishy.

Get a cook called "Buck, Buck, Moose" by Hank Shaw. There are several other books on cooking game out there also. And check out the cooking section of this forum. I have cooked and eaten critters from opossum, rabbit, hare and squirrels to deer, antelope, caribou and moose. My mouth starts water when I pull the trigger.

Gonna look for that book. Lately my back starts to hurt when I pull the trigger!

Dude, love you to death but I would rather have fried Coyote. Did once on a dare, it is not as bad as Beets. Could be that we just don't know how to fix them down here but I doubt it.

I saw a woman cooking bobcat the other day on tv. Kinda weird but I'd eat it before a coyote. Also heard people eating mountain lion. I'd eat it before the first two.
Bear can be good. I wonder what wolf tastes like...
I make my own picked eggs. Sometimes I use beet juice.
I like beets ! I know they have to taste better than yote !

I'm so thankful that my mother MADE me listen to my great grandparents who lived through the dust bowl and the great depression. I'm also thankful that she MADE me eat everything in the garden and how to grow one. I'm also thankful that my father MADE me hold the flashlight and the dumb end of a tape measure. And that my father taught me how to understand the patterns of nature and wildlife. The man can still tell time by the sun within a +-5 minute margin of error.

I, like most of you have useful skills and possess knowledge to "make it".....

But what about those who don't?

I work with people who don't know where eggs come from!! They buy 100% of their groceries from a supermarket. Those people have families who have to eat. IF and I pray it's an IF....times get desperate people will do desperate things. My great grandmother told stories of what desperate people will do. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Alpha's and Omega's....

Glad you all are doing well. Better get all those loans in before the Interest rates climb

Montana is doing well, and I hope rates climb. That should've happened years ago.

Let me tell you how weird this is getting, pulled into a Burger King for quick burger on the go. Out of burgers..we have chicken though. Chicken King?

How 'bout this one Buddy. Went to Arby's. Ordered a Roast Beef Sandwich. Dude said "We don't have no roast beef."" I said Arby's roast Beef doesn't have any Beef?"He said " "We have chicken and Turkey". I went next door and got a hamburger.

Mt Lion taste like quail to me. Bobcat has a cat twang to it that turns into an aftertaste. It is mild, but there. Edible. Coyote is not good. As a rule predators in general do not taste as good as prey animals. Lion is an exception. Its a little slow so I gotta share a story you will get a kick out of, I'll keep it short. My youngest was in the 8th grade. I was frying Bobcat for dinner. She asked if I would fry a bag for her to take to school. I did. Next day I went to pick her up from school. She was not there. I parked and went inside, and was met by her Teacher. I asked "Where is kat?" She said she was in detention. I asked "for what?" She said for lying. I asked her what she lied about, and she said Kat was giving everyone deer steak and telling them it was Bobcat. I asked her if she ate any. She said "Of course. It was good too". I said "Lady have you ever eaten deer meat that was snow white?" Suddenly she got that look on her face we've all seen and made a break for the bathroom. When she returned, I told the to apologize to my child, and next time she brings food to share from my house, whatever she says it is, believe her.

We don't buy diddly from WalMart. I haven't stepped foot in there maybe but once in 5 years. We have a few independent grocers in town- we shop there. I also don't buy any meat from a grocery store. We get a hog from a Hutte colony north of us and a local guy butchers it for us. I make my own breakfast sausage and use the trimming to make my own salami or other goods with the wild game we have. We buy beef maybe twice a year- a tri-tip roast and and some ribeyes. We pay the extra money to get those from a natural grocer in Helena that sells nothing but Montana meats- or we go to Butte and buy it from a butcher there that has local meats.

If people stopped buying crap from Wally World and other box retailers our local businesses wouldn't go under. Can't tell people what to do- but I enjoy buying local. I don't mind spending extra because we don't buy a lot of it. Plus I get to chat with people that generally have a brain between their ears.

I'm going on 17 years without darkening their chinese made doors....amen brother!

I've used a number of Hank's recipes. Goose pastrami is one of them.

I think mountain lion is one of the best kept secrets out there. I think it tastes like the best and leanest pork. Great cooked with salt, pepper and a little garlic.

That was in his "Duck, Duck , Goose" book as I recall.

The cat twang, is that stronger or milder than house cat?
