I’ve pretty well had it with political correctness.

 Latest instance, of course, is all the BS surrounding Phil Robertson’s moral position.

 Note what has happened. In response to a reporter’s question (i.e., What do you consider sin?), Robertson, who is everything good implied by the word “Christian,” replied honestly. He was immediately attacked by the liberal media for his opinion.

 Ironically, these are the same people who defend dirty books, terrorists, and situation ethics by quoting the constitution. Apparently, freedom of expression only counts if that expression agrees with them.

 Be that as it may, I happen to know Phil and his family. Last time I hunted with him---long before Duck Dynasty---was this time of year, and I had two buddies with me. Didn’t deter him from inviting us to his home for Christmas dinner with the family.

 Anybody want to try and make something negative out of that?

 

Anyway, one of the things served at that dinner was his sister Judy’s Sauce Piquante. Piquante is a basic part of southern Louisiana life, and every cook has his or her own version. Judy’s is made with venison and other wild game. Here’s her recipe:


Judy Robertson’s Sauce Piquante

 1 cup celery, chopped

3 large onions, chopped

2 garlic cloves, mashed

1 green pepper, chopped

Saute veggis in a little oil. Then add:

 1 cup barbeque sauce

1 cup catsup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

V-8 juice to desired thickness

3-4 lbs game meat, diced

2 lengths hot sausage, sliced

 Simmer 2-3 hours to let flavors meld and meat cook.

 Make a roux with 1 cup each oil and flour. Cook to peanut butter color. Add to sauce to thicken.

 Serve over rice

If you ever wanted a dish so good it’ll make you slap your gamma, this is it!

Couldn't agree with you more Brook.

It seems that it's ok for all the detractors to declare themselves "openly gay" and support their sick lifestyle, but it is apparently not ok for Phil to declare himself "openly Christian" and live his life by the word of God.

What the hell is this country coming to?

I hope A & E looses millions upon millions because of their choice.

By the way folks...if you are purchasing any gear from the duck boys this Christmas, please make sure it is the "Duck Commander" brand...NOT the "Duck Dynasty" brand, which is owned by A & E.
Go ahead...play with your food!

I'm sure A&E will back off, Dave. According to the ratings numbers, Duck Dynasty carries that network. And, as usual, it will be all about money. 

Just like when Food Network discovered, after riding a moral high horse, that Robert Irvine was too important to its bottom line to let him stay fired. 

Funny thing is I've never seen the show. Just assumed that, as with most "reality" shows, there wasn't nothing there of interest to me. 

Anyway, if you get a chance, do try Judy's version of Sauce Piquante. It really is good. 

BTW, it goes well on pasta as well as rice.

Can you say Paula Dean?

Brook the recipe sounds excellent but I think there is something missing. "Piquante" usually means something hot, spicy or very tart. As I read it it sounds very savory. My recipe has black pepper, cayenne pepper and chili powder in it (from La Bouche Creole II - Leon E. Soniet, Jr)

"Note: Piquante means pungent; the sauce should be distinctly peppery. Louisiana cooks use Sauce Piquante with turtle meat, shrimp, crawfish, fish and wild or domestic birds of every kind."

You're absolutely correct, Mark. This one is decidedly on the non-hot side.

I do use the spicy V-8 when I make it, to make up for the lack of other heat.

Remember, though, that Friend Wife doesn't do heat well, and this more savory version appeals to her, whereas a more traditional one would not.


As to Paula Dean, I'll bet ya a crisp ten dollar note that FN will let the brouhaha settle down, a bit, and then hire her back.
