warpedskydiver 0 #26 May 7, 2011 Quote Quote Coconut palm logs are good too. So is the wood of the Macadamia tree. Most fruit or nut trees are good. Goat cooked over the coals of almond branches and the hulls of the nuts was great. We seasoned the meat with olive oil, lemons, oregano, sea salt and cloves of garlic. What time is dinner...I'll be right over! That was in Crete, it was what was plentiful and just laying around, literally. Goat meat souvlaki is excellent with really fresh feta. I guess that would sound really bad for orthodox jews though. The bootleg Ouzo was pretty good as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 8 #29 May 7, 2011 Quote Quote Sounds kinda' good. I guess, you need all that to kill the taste of the goat! I've eaten goat (cabrito) cooked over mesquite, of course. Here in Texas, mesquite is so darned plentiful and we're just partial to it. Chuck Ain't real hard to find a stray goat either! Planning a trip out to Skydive Houston?

LongWayToFall 0 #31 May 7, 2011 Gas OR charcoal ain't a BBQ. BBQ is a type of food, not a cooking device. Only a smoker can produce real BBQ, everything else is just grilled food. On the wood topic, Oak seems to be great at just about everything. I like using apple for fish, oak/hickory for pork, or chicken. Mesquite is only really acceptable for red meat, which goes hand in hand with Texas' addiction to Brisket. Mmmmm.... Brisket..... Does anybody know of any good sausage recipes, or good store bought items? I tried bockworst for the first time not too long ago, MAN that is some good eating. (they are white, you can't miss em. Very mild) Not really good for smoking though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 52 #32 May 8, 2011 This is my chorizo recipe. Everything is "to taste", which is the way I cook. I never measure. ground pork cider vinegar salt sugar garlic cumin coriander oregano ground cloves cinnamon black pepper ancho chiles (ground) hot chile flakes (arbol or japone) chipotle (ground) paprika This can be made into links or cooked loose. Put it in scrambled eggs and cheese with tomatillo salsa--Yum! lisa lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
