I do not hunt. Yet, I depend on hunting or a version thereof to provide the vast supply of ingredients we use in the kitchen. When I thought of hunting, at least until about ten minutes ago, the words shooting and killing were at the forefront of my mind. Odd really, or is that just what I think of when I consider serving meat, game, fowl, and even fish? I was given the gut check when I made the off comment that shooting and killing could not coexist with refinement, elegance, and exquisite dining. The fact of the matter is a true hunter embodies all those qualities of which I had not previously seen. Secondly, without shooting and killing, what the heck are we going to serve? It is inappropriate to assume what the actions of others will be. What is my point? Choose your words like your ingredients. Then see how it all tastes.
