Exotic Culinary Treats
Your local butcher shop can supply your need for chicken and pork, but what do you do if your tastes are a little more exotic than that?
While your local butcher may fall short when it comes to these strange food stuffs, there are many people out there to fill the niche. A quick search online will reveal multiple sources of wild meats. And most can deliver cuts just as fresh as the store down the street.
Most of the rare-meat suppliers you will find online will promise to deliver their products on-time and in the highest quality conditions. They do this by flash-freezing the products on-site, thus preserving their freshness. The meat is also stored in air-tight plastic bags and delivered in freezer trucks.
There are literally dozens of web portals online plying their trade in exotic meats, fish and poultry. Most accept a variety of payment options from credit cards to automatic bank account withdrawals.
Shipping and handling charges will also be a part of the transaction process, though most suppliers will include this information before the purchase is completed. Some suppliers may take their payments via PayPal as well as through traditional methods.
Even people living in some of the most secluded parts of the world can receive shipments from exotic food suppliers, though these buyers may find themselves having to pay for the added costs of delivering to these locales.
With the advent of programs like the Travel Channel's "Weird Foods" and "Anthony Bourdain," once niche food suppliers are seeing an increased demand for the products they supply.
While many people might prefer a regular, old hamburger and fries, more and more people are turning to the unusual and the exotic to get their culinary kicks. And restauranteurs are only too happy to help, providing new flavor and texture experiences to their hungry customers.

This recipe might convert you over to cooking a unique non-traditional tasty turkey for the holiday season, or even anytime or the year!

Once you're done with the prep work the cooking is a breeze. You can prepare the turkey the night before and store it in the fridge. Here's the recipe:
Grilled Whole Turkey
Serves 8-10
You will need a one 12 pound turkey and an average-sized outdoor gas grill. Also, a large roasting pan with a rack will be needed. Here are the rest of the ingredients:
About 3 cups of chicken stock, or store bought chicken stock (in a box), 2-3 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2-3 teaspoons of onion powder, 1-2 teaspoons of poultry seasoning and 1 teaspoon of fresh, chopped-up parsley. If you don't have fresh parsley, use dried parsley to taste.
Once you have all of your ingredients, rinse your turkey and remove the giblets from the interior pocket. Set aside for gravy or another use. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Set aside. Light your grill for indirect medium heat. Lightly spray the grill with a no-cal cooking spray.
Now, mix all of you ingredients, the chicken stock, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, parsley and paprika in the roasting pan. Place the turkey onto the mixture, breast-side down. Use your spoon to scoop the basting liquid over the turkey. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and grill for 3-4 hours. Next, take the temperature of your bird in the thigh (thickest part), until it reaches 180 F.
Remove the turkey and let it stand for 15 minutes before carving. Serve it with your favorite fixins' such as mashed potatoes and gravy, buttered corn, baked sweet potatoes, stove-top chicken dressing, corn bread (or dinner rolls) and cranberry sauce.
This meal is sure to be a crowd pleaser! Make sure you make enough gravy for everyone to sop up the dressing, turkey and bread! Enjoy the holidays.

Fabulous and Affordable Family BBQ
Nothing says summer like a tasty BBQ with the kids. Finger-licking ribs, freshly made salads and slaws, tangy lemonade, and decadent desserts make a great meal at home, at the park, or at your favorite family barbecue restaurant. Summer is the time for NASCAR, Little League, and reunions. It also means that the kids are out of school and under your feet more often than not, making a trip to your favorite BBQ restaurant all that much more appealing.
BBQ can also be a healthy dinner for the whole gang. Fresh ingredients, cooked to order meats, and plenty of good conversation all make for a healthy dinner. Too often, eating dinner at home results in everyone sitting in front of the television. Eating out may be just what is needed to get back into the habit of good old-fashioned conversation. Kids and teens who talk and eat with their parents are far less likely to get into trouble elsewhere.
Why Go Out For Dinner?
After working in the house all day, many Mom's love the idea of a dinner out. This is especially true as the weather heats up. Adding to the day's heat and humidity by firing up the stove or oven won't make for a very comfortable night's sleep, either. Mosquitoes, humidity, and too many errands to run can make staying home for dinner the last thing in the world you feel like doing.
Heading for your local family barbecue restaurant can provide you with the break you need and deserve, while getting everyone fed at an affordable price. No muss, no fuss, and nothing to clean up after make this the perfect time to enjoy family dinner specials at your local barbecue restaurant. Eating out at your favorite restaurant can be a special treat, or a weekly tradition.
What's Cookin'?
BBQ nearly always means abundant meat. Pulled pork, beef and pork ribs, barbecued chicken, grilled sausages, and smoked turkey are common menu items. Cole slaw, potato salad, corn on the cob, cornbread, mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetable and dip platters, cheese and cracker platters, fresh fruit, green salads, chicken wings, and chicken tenders can round out any meal at most high quality family barbecue restaurants.
Lemonade and ice tea are the beverages of choice for any barbecue meal, and there are bound to be plenty of family dinner specials that will save you a pretty penny and still provide you with a tasty dessert. Fruit cobblers, brownies, and banana pudding are commonly found at your local BBQ restaurant.
Choosing The Right Restaurant
There are more restaurants in Florida than anyone could possibly count and plenty of them serve great tasting food at a reasonable price. The best advertising is word of mouth, so ask friends and neighbors where they like to go out for family dinner specials and good barbecue. Odds are there's an affordable barbecue restaurant right around the corner, ready to serve you up some lip smackin' good food and a great price.

Stay Healthy and Happy This July 4th!
During the week leading up to the 4th of July, approximately 700 million pounds of chicken and 190 million pounds of red meat/pork are purchased. On July 4th itself, 150 million hot dogs are consumed.
Are you stocked up and ready?
In order to help with your 4th of July celebration this year, we wanted to provide you with some healthy tips to keep your celebration healthy. But memorable.
1. Include Vegetables with Your Meat Preparations.
Cut up some Zucchini, Bell Peppers, Squash, Onions, Tomatoes or any other vegetable that you would like to have and place the slices on the grill for a quick addition to the grilled meat. Use smaller slices of the vegetables and make Kabobs with meat and vegetables, that way each person gets a healthy serving.
2. Choose a Meat that is Lower in Fat.
A BBQ is never complete without hot dogs, right? Well...Hot Dogs contain a lot of sodium and fat inside the meat. There are healthy alternatives that are lower in fat, but still taste like the well-known and loved Hot Dog Taste. Throw some more chicken on the grill and take off some of those large hamburgers. Choose a lower in fat ground meat. They sell 85/15 and 95/5 ground meat that can be extremely healthy compared to the full fat meat. By adding some seasonings and getting creative, the lack of grease may be replaced with a sense of enjoyment for your taste-buds. If you are not looking to cut out the fat in the hamburgers, consider making smaller hamburgers or "sliders" for a portion controlled meal.
3. Skip the High Fat Desserts and Go for the Healthy Treats - Instead of something that will make your already full stomach, a bit more full, consider having something that is light and festive but filling.
Red White and Blue healthy desserts.
- A Mixture of Strawberries, Blueberries and Marshmallows all together.
- Dip Strawberries in White Chocolate and then in Blue Sprinkles
- Watermelon - A Very Healthy Dessert or Snack
Take watermelon slices and a star cookie cutter to make star shaped watermelon chunks. These can then be put on the left over Kabob sticks and stuck into ½ of a watermelon to hold up the stars. Watermelon is very healthy and beneficial to someone who has been out in the sun all day. This is because Watermelon is high in water content and helps to hydrate the body. Watermelon also contains a high level of all-natural lycopene which is shown in early research to help possibly help reduce incidence of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
4. Stay Hydrated and Remember Sunscreen!!
Being out in the sun, sometimes, we tend to forget how long we have been outside when we are enjoying ourselves. Remember to stay safe by drinking a lot of water so that you do not dehydrate your body. We also recommended Sunscreen so you will not need Aloe to the Rescue when the day of celebration is over.
Everyone Have a Safe and
Fun 4th of July Celebration!
