Wild grape question

I'm not very good at taste descriptions so, I'll just say that various pork cuts and a couple of Muskovy ducks smoked using a mix of wild grapevines and mulberry were excellent. Just one warning, be very Very careful pruning out your fence rows. Poison ivy has a nasty habit of disguising itself and mixing in with the grapevines ;-(. Don't ask how I know, just say that a 10 day prednisone regimen did help. Ross. |

The French wine growers have grills on 3" to 4" legs, that they will put over a fire of grape canes burning/smoldering on the ground and and cook thin slices of meat. -- ³When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint.

Thanks ;-) Hubby just got his boat finally put down by the reservoir and is looking forward to some trout & bass fishing this week. He was delighted to hear this ;-) -- Sylvia |

To date, Poison Ivy has never made an appearance in my yard and I've never been affected by it when wandering in the "wild". I know I'm immune to poison oak, but I'd rather not take chances. g -- Peace! Om "Human nature seems to be to control other people until they put their foot down." --Steve Rothstein Subscribe: |

This weeks smoke came out well. I did it over more mimosa and a little bit of mesquite. I also made my first batch of Liverwurst using a modified recipe from Rytek Kutas. It's the gods. :-) I'm trying to eat more organ meats for health reasons and I like liver sausage better than plain liver. Heart, I like as is but I brined and smoked some a couple of weeks ago and it came out almost like lean bacon. ;-d My Canadian Bacon experiment has been a complete success... This is fun! Ob gardening: The only crops I'm growing this year (other than herbs) are Sunflower Sprouts on my kitchen windowsill. Water is just too expensive, especially during this very bad and long drought. The beauty of sprouts is that they are ready to harvest in 5 to 7 days. Very satisfying as an edible crop that way. :-) -- Peace!
