A TASTY BADGER DISH
A TASTY BADGER DISH In England, there is an ongoing cull of badgers despite being a protected species. Some scientists have claimed that badgers are one of the reasons for the spread of bTB (bovine tuberculosis) in cattle, though this claim is widely disputed by others. Rejecting other methods to combat bTB, the Government introduced a six-week cull of badgers in two pilot areas, West Gloucestershire and West Somerset. On 1 June, amidst much protest, marksmen were sent to these areas to shoot badgers at night when these nocturnal animals come out of their setts. The cull has failed – fewer badgers were shot than expected. Moreover, government scientists believed that the cull may well have increased the spread of bTB as disturbed badgers scatter to bTB-free areas to avoid being shot. However, the government minister who made the decision to cull badgers, Owen Paterson, claimed the cull was still successful. Strangely, when asked whether he had “moved the goalposts” in failing to reach the initial cull target, the minister answered that the “badgers moved the goalposts” by not staying just outside their dens to be culled! Ignoring scientific advice and public opinion, the minister decided to extend the cull for a few more weeks. He also decided to have an auction of the culled badgers to raise monies for his cash-strapped government. The auction is expected to raise considerable monies as British people have not been allowed, since the 1992 Protection of Badgers Act, to kill and eat badgers. In preparation of the auction, civil servants have produced a small recipe booklet on how to cook badger. Waste not, want not! One published recipe is for a tasty sautéed badger dish, borrowed from the French cookbook Les Cuisines Oubliées written by Annie and Jean-Claude Molinier. To make this dish: 1. Skin the badger and hang it in a fast-flowing stream for two days to ‘de-grease’ it 2. Cut the meat into chunks and brown the chunks with butter in a frying pan 3. Flambé the meat with brandy (Armagnac brandy is recommended) 4. Add a teaspoon of ginger powder and a bottle of sparkling white wine to the pan and let simmer for two hours 5. Dice and fry the badger’s liver in oil using a separate pan 6. Add a glass of pig’s blood, two egg yolks, a ginger root and crème fraîche to the cooked liver pan – forest mushrooms or chestnuts can be also added 7. Mix the contents of the cooked liver pan with the main cooking pan and serve immediately Would you eat badger? Have you eaten any roadkill? Do you collect recipes? |
