COLONIAL GAME PIE (KING'S ARMS TAVERN)
Here's one for the Wild Thang group, for those of you who like cooking wild game. This came from the Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook, published 1975. A collection of recipes served in the taverns and inns of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Like all older cooking methods, this one takes some time. The photo is just to show you what it's supposed to look like. I have eaten this in Williamsburg, but have never attempted making it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt the cavity of the duck and place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Bake for 30 minutes at 400, reduce the heat to 325, and bake until the duck tests done.
- Simmer the rabbit in a small amount of water for 60 minutes or until tender.
- Cut the venison into large cubes and saute in the vegetable oil in a large skillet until well browned, stirring and turning as necessary. Remove the venison and drain the oil from the skillet.
- Add the port wine to the skillet and boil for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any brown particles. Return the venison to the skillet and add the Brown Sauce. Simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the venison is tender.
- Cut the duck and rabbit meat in medium-sized pieces, and place in the skillet with the venison to keep warm. Season with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper, and currant jelly.
- Saute the mushrooms in the butter until lightly browned. Fry the bacon until crisp, and drain. Heat the onions and drain.
- Divide the game mixture into individual greased casserole dishes and garnish the top of each with mushrooms, bacon, and onions. Cover each dish with the pastry crust, trim the edges, and prick the tops to allow the steam to escape.
- Beat the egg lightly with the milk to make an egg wash and brush the tops of the pastry with the mixture. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Serve piping hot.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a deep pie dish or casserole dish that is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients without overcrowding.
- If you don't have a pie bird, you can create a makeshift one by cutting a small hole in the center of a piece of aluminum foil and placing it over the filling before baking.
- To prevent the pastry from becoming soggy, brush it with an egg wash before baking.
- If you are using a pre-made pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions before filling it.
- For a more flavorful filling, use a combination of different types of meat, such as beef, pork, and venison.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in the filling. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
- If you want a thicker filling, add a thickening agent such as flour or cornstarch to the gravy.
- Serve the game pie hot with a side of your favorite vegetables.
Conclusion:
Colonial game pie is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a cold winter day. With its combination of meat, vegetables, and gravy, this pie is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
