Shotgun shells packed with seasoningSeason Shot is a shotgun shell packed with spices instead of lead. The idea is that you kill and season the bird with just one pull of the trigger. Season Shot ("Ammo with flavor") isn't available for sale yet, but apparently inventor Brett Holm showed off at the recent America's Original Game Fair. The product is "coming soon" in a variety of flavors, from Cajun to Teriyaki to Honey Mustard. How nice. From the Season Shot site:
Link (Thanks, Michael-Anne Rauback!)I was watching a friend prepare a game bird for dinner. Mindful of the dental damage steel shots can cause, he started by discarding portions of the bird - too small, too much trouble. Then, to my amazement, he took the breast and started to mash it. Here a BB, there a BB - If he misses any the dentist is sure to know. What started out as a game bird, became a small pile of glop. Grab a bottle, a top, and a label, and you got baby food. DANG!
I left my friend to his dining experience, went home, and started testing. A little of this, a little of that, a dash or two of such and such, gun powder, a shell, hardened seasoned pellets BANG! The bird falls down - the seasoned pellets are in place. The heat from the stove melts the pellets. The result? Nibbles of wings and drummies, chunks of breast - no glop. No glop. No dentist. Hello world! Let’s eat!
As news of my invention spread, the reactions from hunters and non-hunters alike have been electrifying - first amusement, then amazement.
UPDATE: Sylvia Thompson comments, "I thought it added new meaning to the old saw about pouring salt into the wound."
