piece, I felt pretty good about how
Betsy and I handle food. If we see
mold on bread, cheese, jelly, etc.,
we carefully remove the mold and
carry on. We also enjoy leftovers.
Having said this, there was one food
mentioned in the article that we bla-
tantly waste. I'm talking about fish
heads.
Along with the fish heads, I
have never made much use of the
hearts and livers of the deer, an-
telope, and elk I've killed. Of the
thousands of pheasants I've bagged,
I've never saved the hearts, livers,
and gizzards, but I have been on
hunts where a few of the guys did
save those ringneck organs.
Now for those fish heads. With
walleyes that go two pounds or bet-
ter, I generally remove the cheeks,
so I'm not guilty of total waste.
While I do a fair job filleting cheeks,
I don't know where to begin when it
comes to removing the remaining
flesh from a fish head. Some folks
don't like the large cheeks as they
can be a bit chewy. Betsy generally
batters and deep fries our walleye
cheeks. I think cheeks would be
an excellent substitute for clams in
clam chowder, but I've never tried
it.
Years ago I told you of a Cree
Indian friend. When I asked Miles
about his favorite meal, he respond-
ed, "Moose nose or jack cheeks."
Jack is Canuck for northern pike.
If I get my moose next fall, I just
might try the moose nose if it isn't
too much trouble.
During my senior year at
SDSU, John Janes, my Wessington
Springs roommate, and I rented a
room from economics professor,
Felix Shaw. Felix, who had a home
on Faculty Drive, was of Chinese
descent, and he also rented a room
to three Chinese students. We had
quite a time sharing one kitchen,
and a lot of very different odors cer-
tainly came from that kitchen.
I'm getting off the subject, but
we also shared the only TV set, and
our program choices were very dif-
ferent. One Friday night John and I
discovered how to get the TV all to
ourselves. It was the night before
the pheasant opener, and John and I
decided to clean our shotguns while
watching television. When John
and I brought those guns into the
living room, the room cleared right
now! What had our Chinese friends
once experienced?
At that same time we did a lot
of bank fishing for walleyes in Lake
Poinsette, and we caught a lot of
big walleyes. Our Chinese friends
loved fish heads as much as I rel-
ish prime rib, shrimp, and spaghet-
ti, and their anticipation knew no
bounds when we went fishing. Fe-
lix encouraged us to fillet the fish in
his kitchen where the Chinese anx-
iously waited for the heads. I wish I
had paid more attention to how they
