Beer Brat or Bear Brat? Cruel joke.

[alph]

My wife's cousin went bear hunting and gave us some bear meat sausages.  (for those that don't know, a Brat is basically a sausage, sometimes cooked in beer to enhance it's flavor.)

So, tonight I took out some "Bear Brats" and cooked 'em on the stove.  My daughter, little miss finicky, would never in her right mind eat Bear meat was hungry so I asked her if she would like a "Bear Brat"?  Now, she's eaten the regular Beer Brat, and she was expecting that. 

She took one bite and the look on her face was priceless.  I thought there was going to be a mess to clean up.  Apparently it doesn't taste like "beer".  Needless to say, I ended up eating her Bear Brat after I washed the disgusting catsup off!  Why anyone would put catsup on any kind of wiener is beyond me.

So, if you don't like "Bear" meat, be careful the next time you ask for a "Beer Brat"!!

Am from upstate NY. And yes woodchuck tastes like chicken if prepared rite. Had a girlfriend that raved about my fried chicken untill she found out what it was , then went in and through up. And I never seen her again. I still like most wild game but dont get much out here in CAL.

I hear putting catsup on a hotdog or brat is a St. Louis thing.  I see it all the time here.  Makes me shudder every time I see it!

I was driving 18 wheeler through Montana.
A guy had hit a bear and wiped out his truck, so I had to go look. On the way back to my truck was a "head" lookin thing-o-meat and I grabbed it. I got to the truck stop and cleaned it up and broke out the BBQ. The fire kept going up. A fella came over and asked if it was from that bear. I didnt know him so was aloof. He said I wouldnt like it, but he'd buy me a buffet after I tasted it. We got talking and he was a right guy. He was also right. I needed a catbox morsel to get the taste outta my mouth. EEEWWWWUUUUFFFFF!! That was some of the nastiest stuff. I tasted it for 3 days.
Even now I shivver, that was 1988.

What part of upstate, I am from Oswego-Mexico area. And no self respecting upstater would put ketchup on a Hieds hotdog or coney...

[Valker]

Have to disagree on the bear meat, BUT it has to be completely stripped of any fat before cooking. It is the fat that tastes so bad.

[czuch]

Valker;
I guess I didnt know how to do that. I had to take it off the fire 4or5 times due to flare-ups.
I was from SoCal and having a roadkill splatter platter. Never had "wild meat" till then.
Not like the pheasant I saw get hit in Nebraska. That was delish.
Still, the city-boy in me had a real weird time cleanin that.

 About 20 miles east of Buffalo, town called Clarence. Have had some bear but it was all burger or sasuage. Been told that it is really hard to get the wild out of any kind of stakes or roastes. It is deffenitly an aquired taste.

That explains it-NATIVE cheeseheads know you do put catsup on brats, along w/ Dusseldorf mustard and raw onion  
Yes, catsup doesn't belong on hot dogs, but they are wieners and brats are sausages

no-no-no, uh uh, you put sauerkraut, red onions, and mustard on brats.  I married a Polack and she knows.  And if you're making beer brats, you boil it with leinenkugels beer, not that nasty pabst crap!!  (god knows you only use leinies to boil brats with, you wouldn't want to drink it!!)

......roadkill splatter platter.

road kill splatter platter!! the first animal i ever killed with a vehicle was a phesant, our watress (parents had a restuarant) says to me "why didn't you go back and pick it up?" i figured that after hitting a small chicken sized bird with the front wheel of a 1/2 ton truck wouldn't leave much to scrape off the road, but it would have been tender!!

Buddy of mine grilled up a bunch of elk burgers at a tailgate party. I almost let the wife eat one before I thought of that 2 hr ride home in the car. I really liked it!  It is so lean that it tastes better bacon wrapped.

Forgot about the kraut, I'm half "chermin" but it isn't the half that eats kraut Gotta stick by the thin strip of catsup alongside the Dusseldorf, though. I've never noticed the beer brand making a difference so I just use whatever is on sale & doesn't say "light" anywhere. mmmmmmm
