Burro BBQ...wowie
So we were sitting around Timo's campfire all feeling rather content when my favorite builders pulled up(bajagypsies shed makers)...also feeling
obviously "content"....
some gabachos "not in the know" got that worried look on their faces when mexicans show up in a pick up....but I just grinned cause these guys always
bring great happiness wherever they go.
So they jump out with a big plate of something and being the non intrusive people they are....they kinda milled around the outskirts of the party. I
managed to haul myself out of my comfy beach chair and greeted them with New Years hugs and handshakes. Roberto handed me the plate and said he
remembered me saying I wanted to try this sometime.
Their family are ranchers and raise the best meat...pigs, cows and ummm.....burros! I had never tried fresh burro before and OMG...it was the best
meat I had ever tasted...I love wild game and duck is my favorite but this BBQ'ed burro was absolutely delectable...the ribs were outstanding.
It is one of those....dont knock it till ya try it type foods. It may not be politically correct in the north but it is a favorite down here and now I
understand why....better than lamb even....I think Vagabundo got some photos of amigo Gary chowing down some ribs.
So if you ever have a chance to try it...make sure ya do. I just cant believe I have lived here so long without ever eating it but plan to order much
more of it in the future. New Year...new food.

Shari...
I'm always up for trying something new, especially chow.
But where would you get burro ? Never seen it in any market.
Is it something only available at the ranches ? and if so.... someone knows which ones ?
As an afterthought.
Never able to get them as roadkill. They're too smart to get caught by a speeding bus or 18-wheeler.

shari...save some for me.
Burro is muy delicious ...been eating burro tortas from vendors on Mulege streets for muchos aņos. Became very popular right after the highway
traffic increased with the new road.
A good vendor is at the Y most nights.

years ago I had friends in an off road racing club that would "adopt" a burrow from the BLM each year for a BBQ at Christmas. probably not the best
idea these days.

a local rancher here raises them for food as do many ranchers in the area and it is saved for the VIP's which is always the family and close
friends!!! Fabulous unique flavour, tender, sweet...just really unbelievable.
Here is a public apology to dear redmesa who wants to start a burro reserve so they dont get eaten....suerte amiga.

Hey Shari
That sounds really awesome I would totally try Burro if given the chance!
We live in rancher country and probably could get some if we asked around.
Flavor wise plain old beef is kinda bland, much better goat or lamb.
I heard that in Italy the best type of salami is made with donkey meat!!
Earlier this summer we visited our vecinos at Rancho Meling they had just killed their pig and were making FRESH cicharones! The died out ones you get
at stores are so unlike fresh ones, especially with a little meat still on them, y un poco limon y salsa! Afterwards the fat from the pig was rendered
out and later used to make flour tortillas! Nothing is wasted on the ranch!!

Sacramento's eastern foothills being major rattlesnake country, have caught quite a few of the creatures.
They make good eating, prepared various ways. BBQ'd, in Casseroles, a la Cacciatori, etc. Since they're rather bony with not much meat to them, I
recommend a healthy 4 footer per person.

No Mike
A Mule is a cross between a burro or donkey and a horse. Mules cannot reproduce.

Have deep pitted burro in the past as a large party got too large and all the beef was seasoned up but still needed more, sooooooo out came the burro
that a guy wanted to donate in. We put in the ground and yes it was sweet but I still prefer beef any day of the week. Now, snake does not taste
like chicken and I would take barnyard buzzard over snake any day. I did not like snake not that it had a real distinct flavor it just did not taste
like something I would ever want seconds on. I do not like duck either, but Elk, squirrel, antelope, goose, phesant, and quail. Deep pitting of most
types of animals is greattttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later---------bajafun777

Can't remember the name but there is an old oater with Clark Gable and Jane Russell with a scene where they are stranded in deep snow country and
provisions have run out. Gable saves the lives of the party by preparing "Missouri Elk" (mule).
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

From movie: Tall Man
Gable portrays an honest man tied to a small dream (home in Prairie Dog Creek) who fights and loves everything in sight on both sides of the Rio
Grande...
