No, it's not a comedy team performing in Las Vegas and it isn't a new liver-flavored liqueur. Sweet and Sour Game and Fish Some of my favorite Chinese dishes are sweet and sour chicken, shrimp and pork. Last week's mailbag contained a couple of timely questions from readers. I suspected Ventura's chefs must serve some great game and fish dishes, so I asked the folks at the Minnesota Office of Tourism to snoop around in the governor's kitchen and see if they could dig up some recipes. Most wild-game recipes begin with cream of mushroom soup and end in a crock pot.
Nothing spices up a wild-game entr e like the appropriate side dish.
Taking Stock of Venison During the next few months more than 12 million deer hunters will be taking to the field. Because whitetails are so plentiful in this country, many of those hunters will bring home a deer. Every hunter and fisherman knows the sinking feeling that comes from digging through the freezer for a venison roast or package of fish only to find the contents have freezer burned. I've never met a fish recipe that couldn't benefit from a tasty sauce. By this time of year, most fishermen have a freezer full of walleyes, northern pike, crappies, sunfish, perch or whatever they prefer to catch.
