Smoked elk rump and heart. The meat is very lean and heavily smoked, so best served with fresh bread and a LOT of butter. I think heart tastes better when grilled, but smoking is more traditional. The meat slicer seems like an absurdly useless bit of kit except for moments like these when it's worth its weight in fresh game meat.

When we were kids they used to serve us goulash at school that was basically a crappy broth. Only as an adult did I learn how frickin' delicious it can be I like the Alton Brown version but spicier

Oh man, split pea soup and ham... *drools* I always eat way, WAY too much, and then spend the rest of the evening in a food coma :/ for a Bengali twist, garnish with a little tamarind water and/or with toasted nigella seeds & cumin, and fried garlic & shallots
