I could go on a long speech about the use of food in literature and how in children’s literature it is typically a substitute for sexuality and sex… but let’s save that for a later date. Or just the grad school classroom.
For Christmas I bought my boyfriend nearly 100 dollars of meat. And not just any old meat, but exotic meats -- antelope, kangaroo, elk, alligator, boar… to name a few. I went with simplicity when making each of these dishes because I wanted the flavor of the meat to really come out. Though the idea of eating wild boar burgers was a little strange, each meat so far was very tasty -- I think I’m an exotic meat convert. I can’t help but wonder if I lived in movie-world (and rich, of course) if I would have been one of the first people to snag a ticket to the Endangered Animal dinner in "The Freshman."
Without further delay, I proudly present to you: FOOD PORN FOR CARNIVORES.

| FRENCH DIP SANDWICH. DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE "EXOTIC MEAT" CATEGORY...BUT I MADE IT A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS DELICIOUS AND DESERVED REPRESENTATION. |
 |
| BOAR BURGERS FRYING IN THE PAN. I TOPPED THESE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SPICES... DELISH! |
 |
| BOAR BURGER ALL COOKED UP AND WAITING TO BE EATEN. |
 |
| ELK STEAKS READY TO COOK. |
 |
| ELK STEAKS WERE VERY TASTY. SERVED WITH POTATOES AND SARDINE/TAPENADE TOASTS. |
 |
| OSTRICH STEAK SERVED RARE/MEDIUM-RARE. VERY SOFT, TENDER, AND TASTY. |
 |
| ELK BURGER TOPPED WITH GOODIES. THOUGH THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE ANTELOPE BURGERS... I DON'T REMEMBER. EITHER WAY, VERY GOOD! |
