Moose Meat Burgers Last Night

We enjoyed some moose meat on the grill last night thanks to family members. We also did some shopping over the weekend and yesterday and found organic free range turkey, bison, whitefish, walleye, pumpkins, squash, pure cranberry concentrate, morels, black walnuts, and ground venison. I have decided to include Domestic Turkey and Pekin Duck as part of the DDP eligible foods list. Domestic Turkey is the same specie as wild turkey. Pekin Duck is the same specie as Mallard. We will be opening the DDP group site soon, and will have our food lists posted there. We strongly encourage the public to offer any corrections about the lists. I recently sent a letter to the editor of Marquette Monthly Magazine, and in it I suggested that if potential food donors want to donate quail (among other frozen or dried food items) that they contact me. I appreciate George Lindquist's call to inform us that quail are not indigenous to the Great Lakes Region. There are two birds often called quail that are indigenous however, these include the Northern Bobwhite, and the Grouse. We will be using the Avibase bird database as our primary source for determining eligible bird species for the DDP.  The link is included on our blog under DDP links, or you can click on the following url address:  http://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/avibase.jsp?lang=EN&pg=home
