Hi Dave,

 RH> knew any of them. Most likely he did, since Chicago wasn't that large a
 RH> city in the immediate post fire years.

 DD> Beg to differ. Chicago was 299,000 (give or take a few) in 1870. In
 DD> 1871 Mrs. Leary's cow knocked over the lanter and set things alight
 DD> .... or whatever really caused the conflagration. But, Chicago
 DD> continued to grow and in 1880 the census placed it at 503,185. At that
 DD> time it was the second largest city in the US. Currently Chicago is #3
 DD> - but Houston TX is breathing right down its neck.

 DD> Still, half a million in 1880 isn't what I'd call a "small" city.
 DD> Especially as New York City was only at a million, two hundred
 DD> thousand in 1880 (curently 8.5 million).

OK, much bigger than I thought for the late 1800s/early 1900s.


 DD> I'll bet nearly any venison will substitute for the elk. Unless you're

 RH> I've made it with venison but those haven't taken any prizes.

 DD> That may be down to different judges and/or different competitors.

Most likely due to judges that haven't been into any form of heat,
whatsoever. Also, ones that don't know what true chili is.


 DD> talking about a member of the local lodge.   Bv)=

 RH> Not sure if we have any of them locally. OTOH, in VT, we saw a lot of
 RH> Moose Crossing signs along the roadways. But, we never saw any moose
 RH> crossing; they must have done it before or after we went thru. (G)

 DD> The closest B.P.O.E. Lodge to you, is, I think in Raliegh. I'm
 DD> surprised that there are not more Elk's lodges in the deep south as
 DD> they are *not* ethnically diverse.

I've noticed more in the northeast than in the south.


 DD>       Title: Elk Parmesan
 DD>  Categories: Game, Breads, Pasta, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

 DD>   1 1/2 lb Elk steak; boneless
 DD>     1/4 ts (to 1/2 ts) garlic salt
 DD>     1/8 ts Pepper
 DD>     1/2 c  Italian bread crumbs
 DD>     1/2 c  Grated Parmesan
 DD>       2 lg Eggs
 DD>     1/4 c  Water
 DD>     1/2 c  Flour
 DD>     1/4 c  Oil
 DD>   1 1/2 c  Marinara sauce
 DD>       6 sl Mozzarella cheese
 DD>            Hot cooked pasta
 DD>            Fresh parsley; snipped,
 DD>            - for garnish

About the same as chicken or turkey or any other meat, just happens to
be made with elk. But still, it looks good.
