A little old Cree lady near Grouard Alberta cooks her lynx in a tall pot really really slow.
Salt and pepper is all she uses for "spices". When dill is in season she will add some stalks. Otherwise, none of that "whitey stuff" goes in to destroy a perfectly good meal.
Here is a secret: Don't eat lynx that are killed when they are breeding in late January and early February. The sex hormones in both the male and female sort of taint the meat. You can still eat the meat, but it is not as good otherwise.
The little Cree granny says lynx kittens are also very tasty, and do not require as much slow cooking as an adult.
How can one resist eating an animal that dines on rabbit and grouse?
The meat is better than chicken
Another little Alberta delicacy that outsiders no nothing about.
Hope this helps.
