Circle of life. Obviously your grouse was treasured by many but probably only you will have a fond remembrance. Growing up on a gentleman's farm every year we would take a steer or two we raised to put meat in the freezer. I guess we were ahead of our time because all our beef was non hormone pasture grass feed critters.
Unfortunately we also named all our animals and put their names on freezer wrapped packages. They were plain animals so we gave them plain names. Remember when my parents had an old friend that came and visited a few days with us and she went into the freezer and saw the packages named Hank's Rump Roast, Darryl's tenderloin, Eunice's ground round. That was an interesting conversation.
