Beaver shots...

Is it me or is this not entirely suitable for a family forum? I've heard Beavers can be dangerous - sometimes they bite!

 

I can't help myself:



And, the [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiom]idiom[/ame] explained;

Here's a clean one, I think

 

When I clicked on this title, I was expecting WAY more

You can't even begin to imagine my disappointment

 

Not like the disappointment I felt when I found out The Flying Beaver was not a strip joint. It's a pub, and the waitresses are not on the menu. Well, not officially.

 

Now Ward, weren't you a just a little hard on the Beaver last night?????

 

Eating Beaver.

OK, sooner or later this is going to come up.
We might as well handle it in a tasteful way.

Beaver in Sour Cream

1 Beaver, skinned and cleaned

1/2 c Vinegar

1 tb Salt

2 qt Water

2 ts Soda

1/2 c Flour

1 ts Salt

1/4 ts Paprika

1/4 c Butter

1 med Onion, sliced

1/2 c Water

1 c Sour cream

Soak beaver overnight in solution of 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 tablespoon
salt in cold water to cover.
The next day, remove the beaver from the brine, wash and cover with
solution of 2 teaspoons soda to 2 quarts of water. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
Drain and rinse beaver and cut into serving pieces.
Dredge each piece of meat thoroughly in the seasoned flour.
Melt butter in a heavy fry pan and brown the pieces of meat.
Transfer meat to a greased casserole, slice onions over top, add water
and bake at 325 degrees F. until tender.
When meat is almost tender, add 1 cup sour cream to the casserole.
Stir well and continue cooking until tender. Serves 4.

Our Canadian brothers claim primacy in beaver eating.
They even have a annual Great Canadian Beaver Eating Contest.



This just one design from their gift shop.

I'll leave it to the Canadian members to further delve into this subject
and flesh it out.

(Additional 'net research on GCBEC is on your nickel.)

 

That's the whole recipe, right there. The rest may as well say 'season to taste'

Funny you should mention nickel. The Canadian five cent coin has usually contained at least some nickel, and happens to feature a beaver.

 

Maybe they are ANGRY???

Clean, yes

Skinned, well, I prefer them natural. But that's just me

 

Us men usually only find out too late when they turn out to be Evil and Deranged and divorce us, leaving us with nothing

 

Oh you've met my ex wife then?

 

Probably not, but there are enough out there just like her, actually MORE evil, that I only have sympathy for you. I've had close calls with ex-girlfriends to remain happily single

 

We don't have beaver here in Australia, so some of us eat pussy instead, yum yum.

Well it helps control the feral cat population.
