I think you get Moose by going out and shooting one. That does give you perhaps more mooseburgers then you would want though.

How about elk?

I'm almost certain you would have to gune one down to get some moose meat. Unlike venison it ain't that tasty though.

Man I am a liberal. How can you shoot that guy? He reminds me of my uncle.

Moose may be hard to come by. Certainly you could find some ground deer meat, though. Make a few deer burgers and pretend you're eating a mooseburger.

Or just make turkey burgers. I haven't had moose, but deer burgers aren't as tasty as your average turkey burger. There's a reason why chickens, turkeys and cows dominate our domestic meat production. They taste better than deer and, probably, moose. Lamb is pretty tasty, too--but I can get a leg of lamb at the local Target if I want one. I'm pretty sure there's a good reason they don't sell moose meat.

Meat is murder, btw.

Don't have any moose solutions but you can buy elk at exoticmeats.com. But why don't you have borscht and blinis instead? I mean, Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska sits next to Russia, according to Fox News.

Neither the ability nor the willingness to kill a moose is all that impressive.

Moose makes bad ground meat on its own, IMO; it tends to be too dry.

Where moose meat excels is stews and thick broths, as well as roasts. Juniper berries go well with moose roast.

Meat is murder, btw.

Sudden thought: is beer murder (yeast is alive, after all)? Is there a "visible to the naked eye" aspect to ethical vegetarianism?

Also, I'm going to check by "Joy of Cooking" when I get home. My edition has recipes for squirrel (including sketches showing how you skin one), opossum (feed it bread soaked in milk for 10 days to improve the flavor before killing it), black bear, and IIRC moose. I think Rombauer's recipe involves a long braise.

Moose? Excellent meat as is venison and elk but the mistakes everyone makes are:

1. The kill the large older males which can be a bit gamey. A 2 year old deer hits that balance between quantity and quality.
2. They overcook the meat. Most wild ruminants should be eaten rare to compensate for the low fat. Braises, sauces and recipes involving juniper berries are designed to cover up the flavor of large bucks. The quality of the meal depends on the quality of the animal in the first place.

Leave the Moose alone! Just because the righties talk about their food choices as a indicator of their combativeness, we don't have to get credibility through ingestion. Would you eat Polar Bear? Or Arctic Hare? Or Baby Seals? Have a conscience....

For those commenters/readers in the godless liberal commune what is San Francisco, check out Polarica down in Hunter's Point on 3rd. Their product list [PDF] is quite extensive:

Furred Game: Cervena (N.Z.), Fallow Deer, Caribou/Reindeer, Antelope (Nilgai), Elk, Buffalo, Wild Boar

Sudden thought: is beer murder (yeast is alive, after all)?

I once met a vegetarian brewmaster who had actually thought about this, and assured me that beer was not murder, because, quote, "the yeast dies happy."

I should point out that the guy had absolutely top-shelf taste in beer. His argument may carry less weight if we're talking Bud Light here.

I'd be shocked if Savenor's Market in Cambridge MA isn't up to the task of overnighting you all the moose, or yak, or whatever mean you want.

In my experience, you need simply wait for someone you know to shoot one and then beg you to take some of the meat off of their hands.

Sudden thought: is beer murder (yeast is alive, after all)? Is there a "visible to the naked eye" aspect to ethical vegetarianism?

Yogurt is murder. Of course, dairy is slavery. Unfortunately, cheeseburgers are tasty, so it'll be hard to make much progress on that front.

Would you eat Polar Bear?

Mmm. Polar bear soup. Made with pure arctic glacier water. Naturally melted.

Or Arctic Hare? Or Baby Seals?

I dunno. If you can't domesticate 'em, it's hard to mass produce the product so I could buy a frozen arctic hare stew at the grocery store.

Remember what Homer Simpson said about Kentucky Fried Panda: It's Finger Ling-Ling Good!

Have u lost it Ezra? Moose Burgers? Thats disgusting. If there is anyone that needs to be put in a chicken wing, it's u!

I found moose this weekend at BJ's...no joke!! they come in patties(burgers), look in the meat section of course, near the pork. I didnt try it though, so i cant vouch for the taste.

I once met a vegetarian brewmaster who had actually thought about this, and assured me that beer was not murder, because, quote, "the yeast dies happy."

Really? Like, he asked the yeast and it told him so? Did the yeast talk favorably of being fed a nice meal of wheat, salt, and water (with maybe some honey or molasses), getting a nice massage to create some gluten strands, then being baked alive into a loaf of delicious whole wheat bread?

I believe that the best cut on a moose is supposed to be the nose. Known as "moose muffle", it is classically prepared in a broth of maple sap.

My wife's family in Canada raises elk. Its not very tasty. There is a good reason there aren't elkburger joints covering the land. I'd imagine the same is true for moose. The wife says both taste better than bear though.

I say make a burger out of cow. Call it a Moo-Burger if you want. That just leaves you an "se" short and it'll taste much much better.

Dean & DeLuca (in Georgetown) might order it. If my experience with getting rabbit there is anything to go by, they will refuse to butcher it, though.

do not take a moosket to a moose!
t'would be moostly a big moostake to eat mooseburgers, mooskrats or moosels...eat moor cheese with moostard if you moost...
and you will have strong moosles.

i hope
moosehunter, sarah palin
and senator mcmoose
are not moonching mooseburgers
while reading today's
moospapers.
