Hunting Revisited

Experts no longer expend their time with trial and error learning.  As adolescents leave behind the toys of childhood, favoring more age appropriate stimulation, commitment to excellence naturally turns our attention to those who do it well already.

Once we achieve a consistent level of expertise, we are drawn to those who excel our level of mastery ... those who have honed habits that are tried and true.  Anything less is boring, and can even be irritating.

In the case of finding lean meat for our Palladio kitchens, Professor "Wild Bill" eschewed going out on a wild goose chase any longer!  Instead, he headed first to the children's section of Palladio Libraries and borrowed hard cover copies of Farmer Boy* and Little House in the Big Woods*.   Replete with tried and true methods ...as well as safe, simple and sustainable for both hunter and wild creature, these texts offer great descriptions given through the author of course,  Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Let's hear it now from lean game providers who have, like Professor Wild Bill, gone to those before who mastered the process long ago ("Luminaries," as Professor Renard has called them in the field of Pedagogy).
How has hunting changed? How has nutritional research and "remaining youthful" revised our appreciation of  lean meat? 



And those who assist by supporting leaner choices for us?


 (*This was on the recommendation of Dairy Professor Greta, who had found tips therein for her goat milk production just last month...kids have loved the yogurt and chevre on Palladio's menus across campuses.  And the yogurt packaging ..."Aunti M's Farm" with a pic of  little Aunti M in braids had the primary grade children clamoring for more  the morning after it's Monday morning introduction.)

Let's hear it now also from the goat farmers out there! 

How have nutritional updates revised our appreciation of goat milk, goat yogurt, goat cheese?
