COMMENTS.

The cookbook starts with a “preface” about “Field & Stream” food sourcing. I ignored the “preface” remarks, as the writer was addressing a different type reader. Hunger versus Hunting  is addressed in the “preface”.  Farmland versus Wilderness is discussed before the recipes are given. A cookbook is from a chef, not a politician.

ABOVE is the reality of American eating. Only $5,700 is annually spent per capita on food.  106 pounds of meat or bird annually per capita. 16 pounds of fishes.  The consumer preference is fishes from Streams (wild-caught). Venison is a preference from the Field by the public. This cookbook is for people who wish freedom of choice in cookery.
