They were very good. I don't think I'd ever had one before, unless one counts a Whitecastle burger.

Damn!! Looks delicious!

We hardly eat a real supper any more. Breakfast, dinner and a snack for supper is the usual drill.
This evening was an exception to the normal. Sometime ago I posted about eating Smilax tips. Smilax has numerous common names, cat claw, green briar, bull briar, etc... The tips were ready to harvest and I had a few minutes to harvest them. The biggest group of briars we've been watching was around a power pole. That was my last stop after going around the edges of the yard clipping Smilax tips. Ended up with only a few as the deer had cropped all that were within their reach near the powerpole. Ended up with enough for Miss Joy and I to enjoy a small "mess" of tips.
For meat we had venison tenderloins that I discovered in the freezer that were vacuumed sealed in December 2020. They were fine, I don't recommend storing them that long but it does speak well of vacuum sealing!
Here is what our meager supper looked like:1000001492.jpg1000001491.jpg1000001494.jpg[attachment=0]1000001493.jpg[/attachmen

This kind of stuff might not please everyone's palate but we enjoy such as this.

Treefarmer [/quote] Phil, Is it possible for you to post a photo of the plant these tips came from? Just to satisfy my curiosity, you know. Where I come from a cat claw is a horrible briar. I grew up just over the hill from Cat Claw Creek. Ray [/quote] Here you go Ray, you'll recognize the cat claw plant:[attachment=2]1000001495.jpg

Just looked it up, there are 12 documented varieties of Smilax (cat claw, green briar, bull briar, ....) found in Florida. They produce little round black berries in the fall that the birds eat and are thus spread every where.
