1) You do not have a sense of humour.
2) Think all wild animals wear country gent costumes and talk to each other when we ‘humans’ aren’t watching.
3) Are a vegetarian person
You may find it offensive.
Ok so it’s Christmas and a credit crunch one at that. In the next 12 blog entries, in fact each day leading up to Christmas I will give you an idea how you can control the vermin on your land and cook up a tasty dish… for free!! Please enjoy, share your own recipes of your ‘Farmers Foe Fayre’. Feel free to send in pictures of your finished dishes.
Farmers Foe Christmas Fayre No 8:
Weasel/ Mink:
Introduced from America in 1929 to be bred for its fur, a lot escaped leading it to becoming a major pest of game fowl, poultry, fish, as well other indigenous species. Aggressive, adaptable, they will kill even when not hungry. They have very sharp teeth too, so don't let them take a bite out of you, take a bite out them instead!
Weasel/Mink Dip: Variation on a Canadian recipe.
Ingredients
1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1/2 lb. lean ground weasel/mink meat
1/2 lb. lean pork sausage (see note)
Method:
By now you should be getting the hang of this pre-preparation...catch, skin, gut etc etc...
Brown meat in a skillet. Drain well.
Return to skillet; add cream cheese, and RoTel tomatoes.
Heat until bubbly. Great dip for white or yellow corn nacho chips.
Note: can substitute 1 lb. of ground beef or 1 lb. of sausage.
Again, waste not, want not: The pelts of these animals were very sort after, they make excellent mittens among other things!
