Brunswick Stew
Been meaning to do this for a long time. Never made it before and, for that matter, haven't HAD it in forever. Georgia style stew from a Southern Soul BBQ recipe (I cut their recipe in half). Recipe called for chicken, pork, brisket and turkey. I didn't have brisket or turkey so I just added more chicken and pork. I didn't have any squirrel either. Preliminary steps done on the stovetop, then smoked with pecan for 2:30 on the large at 250° indirect, uncovered. Not bad.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Looks great brother. We make it around Christmas during the cooler weather. We always use squirrel, rabbit, turtle and crow for the meat. I'm going to try it some day with beef and pork just to see. Again, it looks great.

Looks great Michael! I wouldn't be a bit bothered by the lack of squirrel and or rabbit, personally.

Well, I have squirrels in my yard, but they're not dead. Maybe I could borrow Zip's pellet gun? I think the last time I had squirrel, I was about 10 years old.

I thought the meat of carrion birds was supposed to taste terrible. Seriously, you've eaten crow? What does it taste like? -
Guess I am lucky being a mile from ssbbq. Friday they had smoked pork neck with gravy & rice

Crow breast is actually quite good. If you ever want to try crow, get you a few breasts, pound them with a meat mallet and pan fry them in butter. You might just be suprised my friend. I recommended the breasts because most folks will eat them when they want eat any other part of the crow.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

I don't know much about birds, and have never had a wild one (I've always wanted to taste wild duck, but never have, and a friend who's a hunter said he's shot turkeys but doesn't really find them very tasty, said wild ones tend to be dry and not really super tasty), but I think of crows as carrion eaters and blackbirds as not carrion eaters, but I sure don't know. I'm really amazed -- I thought any kind of carrion eater, definitely including crows, was supposed to taste terrible. I thought that was where the old expression about "eating crow" came from. Very interesting. Thanks for the information!

There is actually a website dedicated to nothing but crow recipes. If I remember correctly it's called crowbusters.com. Also they dispel a lot of the myths surrounding crow.
Before I hit the post button, I confirmed that it was crow busters. If I did it right the link should be below.

Got to be the easiest thing to hunt. Kill one and all his friends come in to craw at you. Shooting fish in a barrel.

My apologies to @Carolina Q for the crow hijack.

I haven't had cornbread in a long time, except the time I tried to replicate Skylight Inn stuff. Supposedly just corn meal and water. Never had Skylight's but was looking for some without sodium. Mine was truly awful! And hushpuppies would be better anyway.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
