SC - Aiofe and bear stew

[Diana Skaggs]

     I remember a year when my husband bagged a deer in each of the 3 hunting 
     seasons in Oklahoma; archery, primitive firearms and high-powered rifle.  
     Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with venison riches.  One of my favorite uses 
     of the venison was to make Stroganof.  One afternoon, my elderly neighbor 
     and I were cleaning green beans for canning.  I had prepared the strog 
     while canning the beans.  After she ate her first portion, I realized I 
     hadn't told her it was deer.  She sighed & said longlingly, "It's too bad 
     I'm watching my fats & cholesterol, I'd love to have some more."  I then 
     told her it was venison, with a lower fat content than beef, and I used 
     "lite" sour cream.  She proceeded to eat two more "super-helpings!"

 Hubby already distrusts most SCA cooks after a bout with food poisoning
 from an event. Let's not exascebate the situation, by feeding him dog,  'K?

No problem. Recipes and ingredients lists are always available for the perusal 
of the finicky eater. :-) The feast you mention was a real hoot. 
     
One lady (Jewish) ate 3 bowls of the Bear Stew which was listed as 'Bear Stew' 
on the menu. After the feast she came into the kitchen, having found out it 
really was bear stew, lifted me from the floor, slammed me into the wall and 
proceeded to give me a tongue lashing about how any sane person would never 
serve such a thing at a feast. She also accused me of trying to defile her 
body with forbidden food.
     
She then dropped me to the floor and stormed out of the kitchen. I grabbed a 
bottle of ice cold ale and , humming contentedly, went to the back porch for a 
much needed breath of fresh air and a bowl of bear stew, :-)
