    I’ve been wanting to try grouse for years now. We have spruce grouse out here in Alaska not sure if they are good eating but I’ve heard people eat them. Ran into one the other day hiking, they look like a wild chicken in the woods. This chef hooks up a really nice dish here. Awesome break down and presentation. Not sure I’d get that fancy with it but I’m interested in cooking one of these birds up now.

    Are you joking with this??? There's like 500 items in the description.

      most of them are instructions. what do you expect, so you think turning a freshly killed wild bird into a delicious roast would be as easy as bunging it in the microwave? They're also to make several different things, such as pate.
