An axis is a species of deer. They're native to India, but they were introduced to ranches in Texas years ago. and now can be found in other states on hunting properties. Oh, and they're delicious.

April all of a sudden seems really close. Starting to get my freezer filled with meat for my yearly batch of burgoo. Got antelope, axis, wild boar and gator so far.

What's an AXIS????????

I got a bad hankerin for a kettle of burgoo. My brisket and Hatch chile stew on the stovetop right now will have to suffice. I only make burgoo once a year, in April, which seems like a million years from now.

competition was stiff for the burgoo last night, a big kettle of Texas Red chili, red beans and rice, crawfish ettouffe and a few other big kettles of food were all set up at the same time for the eaters. Managed to dish out 6 or so qts of the Kentucky classic before we all descended on the star of the event; a giant pile of freshly boiled crawfish. I'll start plotting another burgoo session in 51 weeks.

There's something funny sounding about burgoo?

Yep, like "Yabba Dabba Doo" & "Bibbidy, Bobbidy, Boo" Put them together and what have you got??? Burgoo!

Built a fire out of oak and hickory in the backyard last night. Loaded up the smoker with gator,frog,hog [domestic],goat,rabbit,chicken,steer,wild boar and axis. Pulled everything off right before I went to bed, started a stock kettle with smoked pigs feet and neckbones then went to bed. Stock was ready when I got up. Spent the day chopping meat, sauteeing vegetables and slowly building the burgoo. Last step is to add the roux. Early stage testing shows promise.

The squirrels must pay the big "Gabbagool" character plenty of nuts to stay safe....and keep Burgoo to the South.

Since Burgoo is such a funny sounding word, I went searching for it's origin:
BARGOU (Oatmeal Porridge)
This Acadian word for oatmeal porridge is still heard on the Îles de la Madeleine. It is not in standard French and is infrequent in Quebec French. It appears to have been borrowed into Acadien directly from 18th-century British naval slang where burgoo was oatmeal gruel eaten by sailors. Canadian and American English also grabbed the term from British traders who used burgoo to name any unappetizing food, especially a thick stew made from camp or kitchen scraps of meat and vegetables. In the United States, a burgoo was a stew or meal eaten outside at a picnic or gathering, then burgoo came to be applied to such a gathering itself.

At least she acknowledged that wild game was part of Burgoo, but could use store bought meat as a substitute. Personally, I thought it was only authentic Burgoo if you used roadkill!!!

Holy Cow Al, That's a deal. Dressed you are probably paying about two bucks a pound!

If I cough up the 3 G's, how can I get it to Pittston?

The Manager of the ranch in Texas where we will do our June 'Hog Hunt' contacted me this week with a special offer. He will allow my group (2 grandfathers and one 13 yr old grandson) to "Harvest a Bison" weighing in between 2000 and 2300 lbs (walking weight). The price has been 'reduced' just for us to $3000, including skinning and quartering and refrigeration until we leave the ranch.
While It would be a great contribution to a Burgoo-fixin' and Buffalo and Hog Roast, We did pass on his generous offer !

No squirrel in New York burgoo? What a surprise.

Probably the same reason why nobody's taking advantage of the plague of Canadian geese that has come to the area as a means to feed the homeless; they feed from polluted sources, making their meat somewhat poisonous.

Burgoo without mutton, squirrel and opossum?

That was my first thought, too.

At a New York barbecue festival (I know, oxymoron), one booth was selling burgoo. My first question was, "Does it have squirrel?" It didn't.

I love to eat your Burgoo, sounds fantastic, but the idea of throwing that recipe together boggles my mind!

I double agree. Complex recipes are way to complex for me. I like a Sunday afternoon cook with a few chablis but it gets into work when it involves so many issues. These are great for gourmet cooks but not for the simple cook of Sundancer.
