I love a good sense of humor. Great the way you disguised the "actual hunt" until the very end. You brought a smile to my face. Thanks.

Enjoyed the story by: Carol
I was reading and thinking that you were looking for some animals to hunt. When I got to the end I had to laugh as it was mushrooms that you were on the look out for! As well as the big cats! I enjoyed your story!

Yummy 2 by: STEVE
I took a Mycology course in college. Afterwards I would eat Puffballs on the golf course and made a Pleurotis(Oyster) mushroom pizza from the forests of Central Wisconsin.
Fungi have always fascinated me. With the Kalahari truffles I would sautee in butter fresh poultry giblets(sand grouse hearts in the Kalahari), onions, garlic, mushrooms(Kalahari truffles), salt, pepper, a lot of fresh sage.
This mixture would be added to wild rice and brown rice and chicken stock. The mixture could be baked as it is or smothered over poultry such as pheasant or chicken breasts or (sand grouse in the Kalahari) to keep them moist. A bottle of Chinook Cellars Merlot from the Yakima Valley of Washington State or Santa Barbara County Chardonay from Fess Parker Vineyards in California would complete the meal. Of course, South Africa has some excellent wines, also.
It is written that the Kalahari truffle rivals the quality of the truffles of Italy and France. What a wonderful resource!!

I am going to the Kalahari in May of 2009. I would like to find some truffels. I would cook them with Gemsbok cutlets in a South African Merlot reduction over wild rice from the Great Lakes region of North America. I bet the truffels cooked by Isabel were wonderful.
