OT Roasted Reindeer

[Guest guest]

Whole Roasted Reindeer With Christmas Elf StuffingThis recipe has been around for many years in many fashionsbut in recent years for some reason has fallen out of favor. Here weshall return to a true classic dish of alternative fine dining.The list of ingredients is as follows:1. 1 reindeer, preferably with a red noxe, appx. 125-175 lbs., skinned, dressed (thoughnot in a tux; ha, ha) and head mounted if you so desire.2. 6-9 Christmas elves cleaned and finely diced, appx. 8 lbs.useable weight.3. 8 lbs. celery, finely chopped.4. 8 lbs. onions, finely chopped.5. 8 lbs. carrots, finely diced.6. 1 gallon vodka to numb the elves before you peel themand dice them.7. 32 lbs. dry bread crumbs.8. 3 gallons chicken stock.9. Salt, pepper, to taste.10. Fresh garlic, 1-6 lbs. as you desire.11. 3-4 gallons of olive oil for basting the roastingreindeer.A. Saute the onions, carrots, and celery in a large pan,using some olive oil, until tender.B. Brown the diced elves in the same pan until lightlybrowned.C. Mix the vegetables, elves, bread crumbs, and the chickenstock, season to taste with pepper, salt and garlic totaste.D. Stuff the dressing in the reindeer, then sew the deershut.As for roasting the whole reindeer; it is usually difficultto find to an oven large enough to do the job. So you willhave to be creative.My personal favorite is to prop the reindeer up on a neighbor kidswagon. Then roll the whole shebang into the local grouches garageand set fire to the garage. If you can keep the local firedepartment at bay for 3-4 hours the reindeer will be perfectly done.This recipe will serve 175-225 hearty alternatively inclined diners.P.S. Never hunt elves in the same area each year. They have longmemories for such little beasties and they won't fall for the vodkatrick twice in two years.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Now - now - now - don't get in a tizzy! You who know me well know that I would never harm an animal- but maybe an elf! (ha)
