We had a meal done by my friend John that was composed wild game that he and I had taken. John is a Cordon Bleu chef and has owned a few restaraunts.
The meal was
foie gras
salad made from wild greens and flowers
a venson soup with wild onions and mushrooms
Roast duck
Aged elk
chocolate mousse
port

It didn't suck.

This is as close as I can find without my cookbook:

4 1/2 lb leg of lamb (boneless), butterflied
1 1/2 cup yogurt, plain
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 onion, grated, with juice
5 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp mint, dried, crushed
2 tsp basil, dried, crushed
1/2 tsp black pepper, ground

Marinate for 3 days. Roast til desired doneness.

Serve with a dill rice pilaf. I add dill to the below:

Have you not heard before that mousse is one of the most dangerous animals in North America?!?!?

But since you ask, I took it with a spoon. grin

Yeah, but did you use enough spoon?!

The crab cakes at Boo-Rays in Weatherford, Texas comes to mind. Full of crab rather than tired ol' filler.

Good thing.

Ya'know ... some people insist on using a demitasse spoon which should be considered far too small for full-grown wild mousse.

Except for uni and fermented tofu (and I've tried both--once), I love just about anything you can find on a sushi menu. But I'm most partial to sashimi - simple slices of fish, whether it's yellowtail, fatty tuna, salmon, ahi, etc...
