What kind of wine DO you drink with rattlesnake?

The main reason I don't cook isn't so much that I'm lazy as I'm not organized. To get anything serious done in the kitchen you have to be a multitasker. Every dish has its own set of components, its own collection of procedures, its own milestones set to its own schedule. As an engineer you might think I'd have that dialed. But I don’t. Only the best engineers have all that kind of thing figured out. I’ve learned that most of us, especially as we get older, are pretty much just lurching from day to day, from milestone to millstone, like as not making it up as we go. It should be no wonder that I’m close to useless when it comes to cooking.

Not to mention I’m male and everyone knows women multitask a whole lot better than men. I think that’s why most of them end up doing the cooking (and the cleaning and the child-rearing etc.)*. We all know that in the primordial forest, the men all ran about throwing spears until they got lucky and brought down a mastodon, while the women stayed home, herded the children and invented beer and civilization. Now the men barbecue and the women are moving ahead to vegetarianism. Patterns continue.

Anyway this all came to mind when a local store got in the news for selling a broader range of meats than the usual. They also perform slaughtering services for hunters, of which there seem to be more than a few locally.

There's no land-borne meat that I won't try at least once but I have to admit, so far I haven't strayed from the supermarket straight and narrow. But if I did and could afford it, I think I'd start with bear. You?
