Last week we threw our annual holiday party, which is always a great time because there’s always some great wild game cooked and shared from members of the staff. For this week’s Food Fight, we’re featuring all of the wild dishes from the party (as well as one dessert because, well, it features bacon and bourbon). Vote for your favorite.

1. Elk Shepherd’s Pie from Donna Ng, Field & Stream copy chief
2. Muley Rolls from Alex Robinson, Outdoor Life online content editor
3. Elk Chili from Kim Gray, Field & Stream associate art director
4. Venison Sausage Italian Meatballs from John Taranto, Outdoor Life senior editor

5. Blackened Redfish with Mango Salsa from Mike Toth, Field & Stream executive editor
6. Elk Empanadas with Chimichurri from Amanada McNally, Director of Public Relations
7. Smoked Salmon from Brian Peterson, Western Sporting Goods Manager
8. Bacon and Bourbon Pecan Pie from Kristyn Brady, Field & Stream assistant editor

Smoked salmon! But I'll say, I bet you could make a killing selling tickets to a potluck like this.

Tough choice. They should have offered us a sampling.

In college we used to put on a game banquet, selling tickets for $20 to help fund our student chapter of the wildlife society. We'd get donations of meat/fish from local hunters and prepare them a lot of different ways. We'd also get people that would bring their favorite dishes the day of the banquet. Those that brought donations got $10 off and you always got to try a large variety of meats from Elk to Moose, Grouse to Pheasant, Goose you name it, always delicious.
