How flat is more important than how long. If it's out near the middle it can get pretty flat and dry real quick. Now off on the side near the ditch it can age better. Without too many rips it can stay fairly juicy.

Greetings Sir,
A little bird told me that SF Soldiers enjoy deer from time to time? Does that apply? :)

Holly;
Who told you about the deer? That deer we ate caused all kinds of problems. Kicked off about 10 15-6 investigations and caused the battalion comander to go balistic. Good thing Forest K. at Group HQ backed me or it was the long walk off a short plank for this young (at the time) team sergeant.
I ate deer before that little dust up and again after. I'd eat deer anytime. If I ever found time to get back to my plot up in Iowa I'd get me a big fat corn feed one and munch on it.

Ms. Holly,
Don't you let Sir Jack Moroney ruffle your feathers - he was just being Mean Mr. Smartypants !
Requirements for Good On-the-Road food:
1) Carries well - doesn't get easily squished in the bag, even when rolling down a cliff on top of it :)
2) Lasts for at least 3-5 days
3) Is somewhat better than just pure sugar
4) Can eat it in very small amounts without making the rest of it ick.
Given that, I keep:
1) Cashews
2) Peanut MnM's
3) Your fave health-food bars
Also ordered some yogurt-covered dried cherries for my last trip that were good from a guy who quit his geek job and went into the exotic-dried-fruits-by-mail-order biz.

Guy rule # 1. When a guy has meat on the grill he does not fill up on rabbit food. Salt. Pepper and beer are all you need when munching on meat.
OK, OK, for you guys on a "Healthy Diet" you can throw in some lightly grilled onions and green peppers.
Once you get your fill you can nibble on other things like greens and taters.

Holly,
When I was younger, my father "shot" a deer with the Jeep. Notified the Park Ranger at Quantico. The Ranger, quite seasoned in such events said he would take care of it and simply asked for our address. Next day we received a hindquarter nicely wrapped in butcher paper. Fortunatley the doe had come to rest on the side of the road and with few tears, she was still quite juicy. The meat was extremely tender and free from lead. I think we rounded the road kill out with some potatoes.

Getting back to Holly's original question, I like beer when on the road. Or bourbon on the rocks.

Ice cold coke with (this is the important ingredient) a strawberry twizzler as the straw. Should you come across a defective straw, simply consume it and grab another twizzler. :D

Well now I'm not being permitted to say "bourbon" anymore, because I also like Tennessee whiskey and other American whiskeys, so I'm going to say "American whiskey."
My favorite is Blanton's. Also like many others. We have some threads on this in the Gourmet Guerilla if you are interested. Search for "bourbon."

the best "road chow" of all time just happens to be....my grandpa's venison jerky.
he lives in Southern Colorado....and Spanish is co-equal with English down there, particularly among the old folks, so they just call it carne seca, or "dry meat."
basically, all he does is cut the venison into long strips, salt it lightly, then hang it from the rafters in the basement. That is it. It takes a couple of months, I guess....to dry out to where it is edible. He sometimes rubs some with chili's....and makes some that is hot. It is phenomenally good.
there is nothing better than watching the Super Bowl with a personal bag of carne seca. Unless it would be heading up to the high country in an old Jeep or LandCruiser with the top down in Spring...with a bag of carne seca in your lap.

Before I die, I'm doing a trip to Kentucky for the Derby and distillery tours. Had depositions in Princeton, Indiana for a week a few years ago right before the Derby, but couldn't stay for it and I'm still pissed. :)

Mojitos are good, if you can find a bartender that knows what the hell you're talking about, and has mint leaves on hand.
Ben Roberts, a SFTG buddy introduced me to Ramos Fizzes at Brophy's on the pier in Santa Barbara. Pity I can't remember much of the afternoon.

Yes, they were very trendy for a while and may still be. Kind of like martinis were. But when something is trendy I tend to avoid it for some reason.
I took the thread topic too literally, I guess, because it reminded me of a cooking technique I developed during my early 20's (which were a perpetual roadtrip).
Buy some HEAVY foil. Make a pocket, then add some black beans, corn and salsa, top with an uncooked chicken breast. Seal it up good. Place it under the hood near your engine, but not in a spot where it will rattle loose or get caught in a belt. Hit the road!
Cooking times vary with speed, season and geography, but your car will smell great and you will be the envy of all the snack-machine refugees at the rest stops. :D

HA! That shows you how much I know...I hadn't even heard of them until last December when a friend and I wandered into a little Cuban restaurant in downtown Norfolk. Good thing we were staying close by. :D
They called them the Cuban Mint Julep...
Don't feel badly, lrd. I first heard of them from watching the Cuban beach scene from the Bond film "Die Another Day". Actually, a couple things from that particular scene have stuck with me. ;)

mojitos were a hemingway thing weren't they???
Real men drink Sazarecs....
and a real Sazerak was originally made in New Orleans.
Actually, they are kind of an acquired taste... but again, nothing good in life comes easy.

Saca?
Sacamuelas
03-17-2005, 23:41
I misspelled it. You know old saca....spell it like it sounds. :o
I looked it up to get the right spelling. In the original old days, it was made with absinthe and brandy.
Here is the recipe I am familiar with:
Sazarec: coat an old fashioned glass with Herbsaint (not too much – it has a very strong licorice flavor), add ice, tsp. of sugar, 2 dashes of bitters, 2 ounces of good bourbon and a lemon twist.
A little history...
Is Sazerac the first cocktail?
The Sazerac is one of those famous cocktail names that qualifies as a classic. This is in part due to the possibility that it is one of the world's oldest cocktails.
In the 1830s, Antoine Peychaud opened up a drugstore in the French Quarter of New Orleans. One of the products that he sold was his own special brand of bitters that he sold as "Peychaud's Bitters." At the time bitters were considered a way to invigorate good digestion and promote good health. Mr. Peychaud would combine his bitters with Brandy and offer the mixture to his customers as a cure for their ailments.
Just down the street, Sewell Taylor, a friend of Mr. Peychaud, opened up a "coffee house" called the Sazerac Coffee House (named after the Sazerac de Forge et Fils brandy, which he imported and sold to his customers). Mr. Peychaud's brandy and bitters cocktail became a popular drink at the gathering spot. Naturally, the Sazerac Coffee House used Sazerac Brandy, and soon the drink became known as the Sazerac.
By the 1870s the ownership of the Sazerac Coffee House changed and so did its name -- to Sazerac House. At that time the base spirit of the cocktail was changed from brandy to rye, and absinthe was added as an ingredient.
The new recipe for the Sazerac cocktail had become a combination of rye, bitters, sugar, and absinthe. This is still the basic recipe that you will find today, with absinthe replaced with Pernod. Like so many recipes there are variations on this "original" -- they include the use of Peychaud's bitters and Angostura bitters, or trying bourbon instead of rye as the base spirit.
The original Sazerac House has reappeared in a couple of formats over time and arguably the closest to the original today is the Sazerac House, which moved in 1949 to The Roosevelt Hotel and remains today in the Fairmont Hotel.
Is Sazerac the original cocktail? Peychaud’s friends and customers, who were the first drinkers of his bitters and brandy blend, drank from a “coquetier,” which is the French word for an egg cup. Did the mispronunciation of cocquetier result in the first use of the word cocktail?
Trivia note:
Peychaud's bitters are still popular today and are available throughout North America. Peychaud, originally from France, created his bitters in Santo Domingo and brought his recipe with him to New Orleans.

Trust me, its not for the faint at heart. Just a straight bourbon with a background of the licorice flavor.
