Title: . Bird Variety-Meats - Basic Information
Ingredients:
1 Servings
-------------------
BIRD VARIETY-MEATS
Method of Preparation:
While eggs are not a variety meat, and certainly I am not recommending robbing nests for them, if you have a commercial source nearby, or a friendly neighbor who may raise any of the birds in the game category, do try the eggs. Each one differs somewhat from the others -- some stronger, some milder -- but all that Ive tried have been excellent. Quail eggs, should you have a source of them, are very small and make most polite bite-sized appetizers when pickled. Pheasant eggs are undoubtedly the easiest to come by and are, to my taste anyway, superior to chicken eggs, although smaller. As with big game, the variety-meats include the liver and heart. All bird livers are very similar to chicken livers and can be used in all the same ways. The famous "pate de foie gras" of France is made from goose livers, from birds that are specially force-fed to enlarge the liver, but almost any pate can be made from wild birds. Pates need not be expensive or difficult to make. Perhaps the most familiar is the ubiquitous "pate maison", made to one individual cooks taste; no two cooks make it exactly the same way. Not only can the pates be made in various ways, they can also be served in different ways. Originally a pate was most often served "en croute" (in a crust), while a pate served in a special covered dish in which it was cooked was called a terrine from its container. Pate can also be coated with aspic, or can be served just plain for spreading on crackers or bread at a party. The recipes included in the Bird Variety-Meats category are just a few of the ways in which a pate can be made. Note that the Basic Farce recipe can use game meat or livers.
