Yes, Kudu steaks being grilled on an open fire with the Southern Cross lingering above and the distant roar of lions is a marvelous dining experience. Yet, even this delectable epicurean event can become old over time. It always good to attempt something new in the gastronomic endeavor. Below is a link to the Big Tex Choice Awards:

For the curious PH that has wondered why he has to put a new suspension onto his Landrover after a season of hosting Texas Hunters, this may provide an answer. :D Cheers::P Cowboy:

ENJOY!
 
I like the Taco Cone

The Big Red Chicken Bread is good. The chicken wing is self explanatory. The bread is a cake with an icing that has used Big Red. Big Red is a soft drink that is well known in Texas. The sun glasses are just cool. Can you do this with an ostrich wing? How big would the cake have to be? These are questions you may want to ask your PH before you book your hunt.
 
I’m with @Rob404 +2 on the taco cone.

With the snow that is coming to the north soon, i would prefer a kudu steak and potatoes.
 
Boy, you guys are really spoiled. But, you haven’t lived until you’ve eaten mustard sardine burritos in a driving rain with a plastic tarp over you, cause your ten miles back from the truck on a pack hunting trip for elk and your idiot father in law forgot to bring the meat! I had the sardines in my pack and he had tortillas in his pack. AND, what makes the burrito cuisine extra special, is that your eating your burrito in your sleeping bag with your feet on a log at a 45 degree angle (no flat ground) cause there’s now a stream running below the log from the heavy rain! If I ever make it to Africa, I hope it’s just like this! Ha! Ha! Ha! But, it wasn’t funny at all at the time!

It is easy to get so busy in life that one doesn’t take time to slow down and enjoy the food. A proper hunting trip allows for slowing down and appreciating the simple details in life.
@CoElkHunter some of my favorite meals of the year are the ones we cobble together when out hunting. Last year we used frozen elk burger as our refrigeration. It had thawed by the 3rd day of the MT elk season, so we had Brie cheese and sage stuffed elk burgers. Amazing.

Tra3,
I envy you. Yes, that was similar to the plan we had on this trip, but you obviously had someone in charge of the food who wasn’t an idiot. I have many more hunting (actually survival) stories for another thread involving hunting with my father in law, but I wouldn’t know what to title it? And they’re probably not believable to the average hunter, but Elmer Keith once said and one of his book titles, “Hell, I was there!”. Well, it was hell, and I WAS there!

I love cooking and good food but I could never get sick of cooking fresh sambar stag backstrap over a fire while sitting on a stump looking over the mountains knowing no-one else is within kilometers in any direction. Kudu steak over an open flame seems about as good as it could get to me.
 
I took a look at the link supplied by Jfet and if you don't have a large pot and a couple gallons of canola oil you might go hungry.
I have had the luxury of going to South Africa with my daughter last May, and may I say, some of the highlights of the trip were the grill meats over an open fire while sitting around the boma. The best thing I have ever eaten was the blue wildebeest over the glowing coals of the fire under a large baobab tree. I long for the taste of impala chile bits or waterbuck back straps or sausage made from warthog. I must admit, Jfet i envy you if you have been to Africa so many times that kudu steak over a open fire seems rather humdrum!
 
On my second safari, to Botswana, my guide was grilling kudu steaks over the fire in one of those folding hand held grills. He went to open it to put my steak on my plate and it fell into the fire! He cussed a lot in his usual way, fished it out of the coals and slapped it on my plate. I don't remember ever having anything better.
 
The wife and I spent a week in Maine a few years back.
Did you know they've never even heard of Dr. Pepper up there?
Mr Pibb is not a subsitute for the original 23 flavors.

Bless their heart...(y)(y)(y)
 
"They call me MR. PIBBS!"
 
All this talk is making me hungry. My wife made me try some swanky new place to eat here in Nashville. As my brother-in-law so aptly put it to me as we were leaving, “Well we don’t have to worry about leaving with that too full feeling”. Yeh, it sucked. Right night I could eat a kudu steak still on the kudu!
