Flavourshots

For those of you unaware of the sublime delicacy of Duck a l'Orange, this may come as a surprise... Duck and Orange go together extremely well, as do Venison and Red Wine with Juniper Berries.

To save the chef time these game meats may now be hunted with Flavourshots (bullets made of distilled flavouring extracts, from the natural ingredients).

The meat begins marinating from the moment it is first shot, delivering fragrantly spiced, herbed and flavoured meats directly to the kitchen.

Special, this month only, to vampire hunters... Garlic Flavourshots are half price.

       close your mouth [zeno] before UB takes a pot shot.

       He's OK. Unlike most, sometimes he makes sense.

       lemon thyme flavourshot for trout?

jonthegeologist, Jun 03 2005
  

       I suspect that a 12 gauge cartridge would still be fairly effective at close range if you replaced the shot with juniper berries and wine.

       //lemon thyme flavourshot for trout// Both barrels into a barrel?

       "The man, in his early 20's, was the victim of a drive-by marinating and died later in hospital from his flavourings. His body is to be cremated at 400F/200C for four hours and then left to rest" [+]
Maybe pickled ginger flavoured harpoons too?
  

       //Maybe pickled ginger flavoured harpoons too?//   

       That's a low blow.

UnaBubba, Jun 03 2005
  

       Well, its an awesome thought. But, you'd have to riddle a large animal with bullets to get the proper concentrations, I'm afraid.   

       Oh wait, that's how I hunt anyway. [+]

       Giving new meaning to the term "grapeshot."

       <Needing a first meaning to the term "grapeshot">

daseva, Jun 03 2005
  

       I find it somewhat difficult to believe that you could make an effectively lethal projectile out of red wine & juniper berries.

justaguy, Jun 03 2005
  

       Flavored jelloshots are commonly used for snipe hunting, I believe.

Shz, Jun 03 2005
  

       Grapeshot is cannonfire/artillery.   

       Napoleon's whiff of grapeshot is the most famous.

Madai, Jun 03 2005
  

       Ahh, sweet. Nuthin' like being in tha know, you know?

daseva, Jun 03 2005
  

       Grapeshot is shot that is roughly the size of a...well, a grape. Fired in multi-round canisters from cannon, it is (was) the Napoleonic Wars cannon equivalent of a shotgun, anti-personnel (or "human resources" as it is now known) round.

coprocephalous, Jun 03 2005
  

       The use of multiple projectiles in a single round was the secret weapon of the early artilleryman.   

       Roundshot: Single round ball of iron, stone or lead
Grapeshot: Balls and irregular shapes from 1/2 to about 3 inches in diameter
Chainshot: Two or more balls, strung together with a length of steel chain
Barshot: Iron and lead Ingots and lengths of metal pieces, such as pipe.
  

       None of these sounds terribly fun to be around, while they were moving at speeds up to 1200 feet per second.

UnaBubba, Jun 03 2005
  

       Sometimes I eat Sweetened condensed milk and salami sandwiches [+]

maximus5, Jun 06 2005
  

       I guess the odors from my leaking quiver of Marinated Kebab Arrows will take care of the need to mask human scents.
I am looking forward to seeing condiments advertised for lethality. Kind of like the big game version of using Tabasco sauce for blowing up mosquitos.

lurch, Jun 06 2005
  

       Make those flaming arrows and you can dig right in with a fork.

Worldgineer, Jun 06 2005
  

       Though I don't condone killing animals, I also eat meat happily and hate vegetarians with a passion, so bring on the flavor shots!

jjbabygurl, Sep 07 2005
  

       //hate vegetarians with a passion//
What did we ever do to you?
  

       //Though I don't condone killing animals, I also eat meat happily//
Huh?

Worldgineer, Sep 07 2005
  

       I think somebody needs a little talk about where meat comes from.

DocBrown, Sep 08 2005
  

       <Conspiracy Theorising> When was the last time that you actually had empirical proof that the 'meat' you ate actually came from an animal. I already have my suspicions about Big Macs </CT>

hidden truths, Sep 08 2005
  

       You'd be surprised to find out the high standards MacDonalds uses in preparing their food [hiddentruths].

Susan, Sep 12 2005
  

       //You'd be surprised to find out the high standards MacDonalds uses in preparing their food // Why then, are the results so appalling?

coprocephalous, Sep 12 2005
  

       Cheese, mayonnaise and pickles that taste like small pieces of rubber glove, when eaten alone, mostly. The meat is of very high standard... it's the rest of the crap they smother it in that stuffs it up.

UnaBubba, Sep 13 2005
  

       [UnaBubba] is right. Its the shitty mayonaise and other prepacked stuff that ruins the taste.
And yet...Every year, only once, I get this craving for a Big Mac. I wonder why that is.
