Do you have a taste for the unusual? Kangaroo stew? Ostrich meatballs? Maybe moose salami? If so, the 12th annual Wild Game Supper in Larose on March 26 is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
According to Jasmine Sauder, executive director of the Larose Regional Park and Civic Center, more than 35 exotic dishes are on this year’s menu. A dozen of Bayou Lafourche’s finest cooks are gathering to whip up a diverse fare including deep-fried eland backstrap, honey-baked wild board, deer lo mein, elk sausage, alligator sauce piquant, wild rice and quail jambalaya, rotisserie pig and much more.
New to the menu is a buffalo dish. A slew of mounted animals felled by local hunters will also be on display, Sauder said.
Now in its 30th year, the Wild Game Supper got its start as a private, social club affair held each year at one of the members’ homes. Over time, the Larose-based event evolved into a fundraising activity for the civic center, said Pam Savoie, assistant director of the facility.
“Today, the dinner benefits the Larose Park Endowment Fund,” she said. “The civic center has been hosting it for the past 12 years.”
Tickets are $40 per person; VIP tables for eight are $600. The VIP package includes a bottle of wine as well as a personal server for the evening.
