Planning a gourmet dinner evening but bored with the usual steak or salmon or chicken in seemingly infinite varieties? How about something different: game ravioli, say, or wapiti? Maybe some Russian wild boar or squab, or perhaps Muscovy duck?
These are among the fairly extensive list of unusual gourmet foodstuffs on offer at Game Sales International. What it caters to is "the growing population of health-conscious gourmet connoisseurs who have discovered a savory, low-fat, low-cholesterol and high-protein alternative" to commercial beef, pork and poultry.
The dinner possibilities are impressive -- a game ravioli of buffalo with wild mushrooms and port wine (9-ounce package for $4.95), or venison sausages with blueberries (1-pound package for $7.95). For a main course, Russian smoked wild boar ham (5 to 6 pounds each, at $8.95 a pound), or even a spot of marinated alligator tail loins (1-pound packages at $9.95).
Game Sales's list also runs to buffalo steaks, kangaroo filets or, for the more conventional who still like to look far afield for their gustatory pleasures, New Zealand lamb chops at $6.95 per pound. If you fancy something that doesn't appear on the list, it might be worth e-mailing the firm's president, Robert Mutchler, direct, and outline your needs -- marinated penguin, maybe, or perhaps Vietnamese water buffalo steaks.
