My friend Valérie gave me a nice little piece of moose meat so I roasted it with some potatoes, pears, thyme and garlic.

The texture of moose is like a mix between roast beef and veal liver. So yummy and subtle. The last time I had it was probably in the 80's, before my grandfather's bad leg stopped him from going hunting. We used to eat the moose fondue-style, cubed and dipped in hot peanut oil, then dipped in a bunch of different sauces, with baked potatoes and a huge green salad. Oh, the good old days!
