lmao im with janis when he said "you really think after all this were gonna taste the mountain lion?"
You could probably put any meat in there and you’d say, “mmm this is good pork wrapped in bacon.”
But....somedays you want a steak and some days you want a messy burger.
Yep, that's too busy! :D
Totally with Steve on the bacon thing! Just to many cooks go to with wild game.
It's what lazy people who don't know how to cook use to make things taste good.
Steve is so spoiled!
Just wrapping things in bacon is a dream come true for so many of us. 😂
BRING BACK "Pardon my plate"!!!
Word
Awesome video!!! I wish Janis and Mingus well in success with getting a mountain lion
I would imagine that perfuming lion meat with dandilions or some berries would also make a tasty meal. I have a hard time believing that any of the lion meat's flavor came through the bacon, cheese, breakfast sausage, slaw, etc.
I absolutely love the meat eater cooking shows
Did everything he could not to taste the mountain lion...lots of strong flavors
I eat a lot of mountain lion and never thought of cooking it like this.
Definitely trying that cut on a loin this fall, looks awesome!
You mean with deer? I'm wondering myself how this would taste with venison. I might try it if I get a deer this fall.
A new meateater cooks? Finally!
Mountain lion is delicious. Ive tried it. Doesn't need all that. There are several mountain lion and bobcat videos on RUclips and you definitely don't need all that. Its delicious on its own but to each his own
Not much of a show if you just grill it with salt and pepper
I agree that the game in game meat is what meat is supposed to taste like! I've eaten many different game meats, exotic and native here in South Texas! Come to find out the that's why I'll take a deer steak over a beef steak every time! Cause of the natural good flavor or game flavor.
Love the show, buuuuut. This one felt like all the ways to cover up the flavor of mountain lion. I guarantee you that lion flavor didn't come through at all. So many strong flavors mixed around in there. I love lion meat and it has a very distinct and unique flavor that has a place of it's own. But all those dominant salty and savory flavors with swallow it right up and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between lion and a pork loin. Great looking dish and I bet it tastes amazing.
The fact that he used pork sausage and cheese to stuff it already did a lot to cover it up. Then he decides to cover it in bacon which will leach the flavor of the bacon onto the meat. I don't eat pork anymore but anytime I order a burger and they put bacon on it I take the bacon off. Guess what though, I can still taste the bacon flavor onto the meat. Now imagine something being cooked with the bacon, that bacon flavor will permeate that thing even more.
Great cooking show!
Mountain lion! I have to watch this one. Shout out from Australia
My cousin once got a lion and knew that I liked to cook and gave me a pound of ground mountain lion meat to do something with. I ended up doing a simple Italian meatball mixture with day old bread chunks, milk, egg, parmesan cheese, onion pwdr, garlic pwdr, dried parsley & basil & oregano, salt, and pepper with a bit of red chili flakes for some spice! Cubed up some mozzarella cheese to about 1/2" squares and formed the meatballs around the cheese. Pan fried in olive oil until were GBD all around and then into a 170 degree oven for about 10 minutes just to make sure that all was safe and served as appetizer with a simple marinara sauce. Definitely delicious and even had 2 people that we didn't tell what the meat was that were raving about how good it was. It was cool to be able to make a good use/cook but even better to see that everyone honestly loved it. Like they said, it is alot like pork but I also thought of rabbit as well and was not strong flavored and really kind of delicate considering that it was from one of the only pure MeatEater species that we hunt. If people are throwing this meat away its a crying shame and if there are folks out there who don't want it then they should find people like me who would gladly take it. I do agree with most about this recipe is that there is no way in hell that you would ever be able to taste the lion meat after all of everything that went on. I kinda wish Kevin would have just cut a small trim off of that loin and cooked it up simply to taste/test the meat flavor before totally hiding it behind this recipe.
This is an amazing recipe that I'm sure anyone (who's not vegan) would enjoy tremendously !! I do appreciate you saying that you would've preferred a mountain lion sausage in order to get more of that flavor. Great recipe none the less :)
Wish we had mountain lion where I live. Another piece of great content, thanks.
Bobcat is gonna be delicious as well if you have those
@@spurbronc9449 yes it is!! smocked especially!
I live in California where we have tons of mountain lions but can't hunt them anymore because of political reasons.
It is said because I always wanted to go on a mountain lion hunt. I have seen a good amount in the woods and get to hear them mate every so often.
@@ecv03 It's pretty dumb considering how many "problem cats" the State shoots each year. Roads, farms, and housing developments, but blame the hunters. 🤷♂️
i would at least think a constant of something like a dusting of flour, brown butter, and sear to temp...or what ever version you prefer to highlight the meat differences would be nice throughout the series, at least as a side segment. there are many shows for chefs to get high on their own creations. sausage and bacon are a staple, but i learned nothing about the flavor of mountain lion or useful ways to prepare other than the temp.
Agreed. Cool roast technique but why do this for mountain lion?
This dude is doing exactly that, getting high off his own creations. He won't even say thank you when Janis compliments him though, just yeah.
I had some cougar back strap given to me years ago. I slow roasted half of one in the oven and it turned out great and the rest I cut into minute steaks.
Mingus is such a good looking hound
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone
It's smoky as hell outside today ain't it?
@@Skankhunter420yup them woman firefighters in Canada ain't as good as they think huh, albanys got it too
Yes my friend
I'd try it for sure.
Yanni looks like he is always smiling keep smiling brother i enjoy it
Love this content but it’s kinda got me thinking about Pardon My Plate Season 3.
I want to try this and i hope to see other recipes from mountain lion
I'm sure this was delicious, but I would've liked to see a simpler preparation
I thought Mingus was Janis’ son at first! I was scratching my head thinking about what a 3 year old is doing chasing lions. Lol
Great content boys
That bacon parquet was a highlight for me!
I miss Steven Rinella so much
Talk to any old-timer and mt lion is one of the best meats in the woods..
As a born-and-raised southerner, and lover of pimento cheese…. I can safely say…. That was NOT pimento cheese. Still looked good though
Did ya'll even taste the Mountain Lion?!
Would have appreciated to learn something about the mountain lion taste
He is talking about the cut of Lion !!!!
JO JO IN VT 💞
Kevin is one of my favorites.
Daaaang, one of the best dishes I’ve seen Kevin make so far!
When's gonna be the Latvian episode???🎉🎉🎉🎉
I would expect the mountain lion taste to really get lost with all that sausage and sauces and more
Sausage, bacon, cheese, and a thin piece of white meat. Might as well skip the cougar altogether.
Pork breakfast with mountain lion essence.
That looked totally awesome! I don't have Mountain Lion in the UK. What might be a good alternative?
I'm about to shoot my cat here, in Portugal!! 😀😀😀
Pork. probably the closest meat. Not sure what wild game you have over there.
Over here... Got wild boar, red deer, roe deer, muflon sheep, fallow deer, rabbit, hare, fox, badger, patridge, ducks, pigeons, quail... I would go for red fox, as a lion substite... No need to shoot the cat!! 😊😊😊
Stray cat
Don't think you have any wild cats so pork would be close
That looks fire, like rolled pork, but I just couldn't, knowing
I think cooking it in bear fat, particularly blueberry bear fat would make it taste amazing
We had mountain lion burgers a couple weeks ago.
Tasted like ground chicken but more bland.
Could have used some more salt and seasonings but other than that it was good enough.
Upside down bite is nuts
We all know the Chinese chicken on a stick is cat and its always delicious lol
The Eagle has spoken.....
Is the bacon lattice going to allow smoke penetration into the lion?
I guess that a nountain lion recipe but seriously make the ML the star not a back up singer. A chef who is unsure of his dish will slather on a ton of sauce or in this case slaw.
Need to put the lion up against pig comparison sometime. Dude did not want to taste the lion but he is not alone. Friend just got one in my backyard by accident and loved it. Said he would take it over bear all day. Someday I hope to eat some.
Both a awesome
I might give this a try. I killed a big tom this year and I’m not a fan of how he tastes. I need to cover up the tom taste. The female I killed a couple years ago was phenomenal table fare. This tom is kinda gamey.
Let's see: layers of pork sausage, pepper jack cheese, and bacon. You could wrap up a piece of cardboard and it would taste good with those ingredients. How about focusing on how to bring out the flavor of the meat you harvested?
I was going to say the same thing. Its 2/3 pork 1/3 lion.
Who cares? He is making a more complex dish. Cook it how you want, and he can cook it how he wants.
Im assuming you didnt watch it? It has to cook to over 165 so it will dry out the pork stops it from drying out if you cook it by its self wont be very good
@@D_Boone True but the point of the episode was mountain lion. The star of the show really seems to be the slaw with meat somewhere in there. In the end I think his thought of doing a sausage probably would have been a better route.
@@brianreddeman951 I understand that. It was a good dish though, and I don't see any reason to hate on it just because the wild meat wasn't the main ingredient. This was basically just a fancy way of making sausage or burgers. AKA anything you would cut in fat to make.
I would just make sausage like real simple. Garlic onion pepper salt maybe nutmeg parsley and enough pancetta (unsmoked bacon) for moistness.
What about making breaded schnitzel? He flattened that meat out pretty well. You couldn’t bread and fry that?
I wish you could hound hunt lions in Washington
Dog meat is the best!! Let my boi mountain lion go
nice technique n all but damn... bacon, sausage & cheesex2?!
I would have like to see them eat just the meat and comment on that. What knives are you using?
Do you think the run-of-the-mill, domestic cat's loins would taste as good as a mountain lion's?
I feel like that ground sausage would be enough to totally cover the taste of the lion meat. By the end there's no way that meat was done justice.
Give Janis a pat on the back poor guy. Disappointment all around. You know he was saving that piece of meat like it's the last gold bar in the world and for him to keep it together bravo. Kevin even said it's like pork.... so keep it a simple pork recipe. Learn from it, Love the series. Maybe Kev can make up and send some other crazy wild game back to the Latvian Eagle
You could make this entire recipe and omit the main ingredient and have it taste exactly the same.
🇧🇷👍
Saying you like the taste of lion after eating this dish is like saying you like Rum but drink rum and cokes
The more lions on dinner plates the better
So much for conservations and science based management then. 🤣🤣🤣
When did Janis get married!!?? Just noticing his ring.
1 part mountain lion, 10 parts everything else to mask the flavor of mountain lion. 😀
I was hoping for a "throw lion on top of fire and cut from it to eat" like the coyote video. lol.
You could probably do the same thing with a badger and get the same result
What's up with buck truck y'all dropping more videos
It wasn't doing well. It was dropping views each episode, and they never performed as well as any of the other episodes on their RUclips. Either that was the whole run or the chopped it because it was underperforming.
People don't like real hunting content anymore? Drop it in October and you'll have way more views
lol breakfast sausage, a shit ton of bacon, coleslaw, bun, and sauce.. no shot you taste any of that lion.
1st
2nd
3rd
Why make breakfast sausage to put in vs just putting some very low flavor fat?
chef yukon cornelius
does this guy know what pimento cheese is😭
I reckon it'll take 15-20 roaming domestic cats to equal a lion. Would they taste the same? Asking for a friend.
Do that to almost any cut of meat and its going to taste good
If you can eat a mountain lion, you'll pretty much eat a cat
Many cultures do. It's only taboo because we are wealthy and can afford for it to be
There must be a reason every ancient religion agrees on not eating predators. That's the only thing the do agree on!
I could do the same thing with dog poop, or a vintage redwing boot. When internal temp is reached, it taste like pork sausage and bacon. Really not impressed.
Why has this become more about slow-mo vegetable prep and less about the actual properties of the meat on the entire animal?
sous vide?
If it’s not wasted who cares! Dress that shit up! Make it taste however you want! This is what meat eater is supposed to be! Not those bumbling guys killing every whitetail they can find!
I just wish they would have at LEAST just pulled a piece of lion meat out of the middle of the roll and tasted it on it's own. OR just cut one steak off that tenderloin, S & P it, and cook it to temp somehow so they could really share what the TASTE of lion is...
I watch these cause I love the channel but how do you reach the point where you look at a mountain lion and think that looks like good eats
That’s mostly pork
Horse Meat taste delicious , USA needs to start consuming Horse meat and Guinea Pigs. Felines have an off taste, Mountain Lion , Bobcat , and eastern panther just has that cat urine accents .
Everyone says it tastes just like pork. Never heard anyone say anything about an off flavor. Also, Mountain Lions and 'Eastern Panthers' are the same thing.
it's a cat, bro
just a bigger version of the one's in your neighborhood
same with eating a wolf or a fox...they're dogs
Staying for the Janis energy. But definitely not crazy about this farce of a recipe (no pun intended, as in french farce means stuffing fyi). Reminds me of hunters who shoot wt deer and make sausage out of the whole deer cutting it with beef and pork fat because they think wt deer is too gamey, and then they believe they are eating what they harvested lol. Call me snobby, but as more and more people are interested in mountain lion as meat source in the West, this feels like when chefs in the 2000s went towards molecular cooking because plain old regular ingredient cooking was not cool enough. Kevin Gillespie's take on that was a bit disappointing, and really not honouring the game meat he was gifted. Probably needed a few more attempts and more research before making this video, but whatchagonnado... Social media content needs to be rollin' !
This recipe is designed to hide the cat taste 😂
Mountain lion is delicious. Ive tried it. Doesn't need all that. There are several mountain lion and bobcat videos on RUclips and you definitely don't need all that. Its delicious on its own but to each his own.
@@spurbronc9449 same and agree 👍 😁

It’s interesting how people shoot animals just for the rugs. I thought rule number 1 as a hunter or fisherman is if you kill something you eat it. It’s hard for me to justify to non hunters that it’s ethical.
Janis doesn't look to pleased
No he didn't
Knowing me I’ll do 160-180 for it idc rather not have the T
that mayonaise is made from seed oils, not great. use dairy instead.
How to turn a great 8 min video into a convoluted 17 min video. I bailed at 2 1/2 mins.
No meat is throw away meat
With that much pork how are you going to taste the lion.
