Allowing wild game meat to spoil away for months and years in the freezer is a pet peeve of mine. Killing it should be followed by eating it.
I do recognize that many game meats are strong and many spouses' palettes are delicate. So with those factors in mind, I've got a sure fire solution for any game bird sitting in your freezer and any discerning spouse sitting across the dinner table - Wanchai Ferry's Boxed Dinner Kits.
I first picked up a box of Wanchai Ferry three years ago prior to a big wild game dinner my wife and I host each Christmas season. From the start, I had my eyes on the Kung Pao kit with pheasant breast meat in mind. There's no doubt General Mills dreamed up these kits for chicken, but I'll testify to the deliciousness of Kung Pao Pheasant using the Wanchai Ferry kit. I've had similarly tasty experiences with Spicy Garlic Grouse, Orange Pheasant and Cashew Hungarian Partridge. They are not gourmet recipes, but they are tasty and easy ways to turn your frozen birds into dinner.
I know there are plenty of dead birds hidden away in the depths of your freezer. In a couple months you'll be looking for space to store the 2010 season's bounty. Give this easy recipe a try and make good use of those birds.
