Moments after my last post, as we were (thankfully) delaying cleaning up the kitchen, the restaurant's game man showed up. Not like in the states at all, though. This guy, who's name has slipped my mind, showed up with half a daino (deer, basically) in that back of his Fiat. OK, it wasn't really a Fiat, but it was a half of an animal that was probably shot today in the back of his car. I was like a kid in a candy store! This isn't how "wild game" happens in the United States, even in CO where it's practically a required menu item. Within five minutes, it was broken down by Stefano and hanging in our meat cooler. In about a week, we will be having an entire feast celebrating this beautiful animal. What I know so far is a marinata of the tenderloin, a BRT roast of the hind quarter and a ragu with the shoulder. This leaves a little left along with quite abit of bones for stock, so I'll keep you posted! Like everything else, I'm quite excited about this development.
