Sam Arnoldβs Frying Pans West Cookbook from 1969.
From the preface: Possibly the most outlandish recipe was "moufflΓ©." This is boiled moose nose. I had asked my game purveyor in Montana to save me some moose noses, for I had read about a favorite dish of the French-Canadian trapper called "moufflΓ©," and I was determined to try it. The noses arrived, each about three feet long and covered with thick hair. According to the recipe I'd found in Canada, the cook was instructed to put the nose on a stick and hold it over the fire until the hair burned off. I built a fire on the courtyard of The Fort, and that evening customers walking by saw me roasting a long, ugly, hairy nose over the fire. The smell was hideous. Later I brushed it clean with a wire brush and soaked it overnight in salt water to remove any burnt hair flavor.
The moose nose was then boiled with a bit of onion, bay leaf, peppercorn and salt. It turned out to be dull in flavor, extremely bland, and somewhat like a pickled pig's foot in consistency. I put it on the menu for $1.50 per portion, served cold, sliced, and with a piquant sauce. One evening a disbelieving guest wagered $100.00 to another that the "boiled moose nose" on the menu wasn't really moose nose. He lost.

Mom and baby came by for a late visit and a quick dip in the pond on this hot day. Both looking good and healthy. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Moose #WildLifePhotography

I just learned a new expression in QuΓ©bec French β βcaller lβorignalβ.
That first word is an English verb conjugated like a French one. The whole expression translates as βto call the mooseβ. But what does it mean?
It means to barf.
Think of the sound one makes.

Are Colorado Moose Invasive? New Research Says NO

βThe modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern - brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Since being translocated to Colorado, these charismatic megafauna have been a source of both fascination and concern. In Rocky Mountain National Park [RMNP], where moose populations have thrived, ecosystems have been changing, and moose-associated impacts have sparked renewed conversations about managing an animal labeled βnon-native.β
However, newly published research [link above] by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, archivists and Tribal cultural heritage leaders shows that the βnon-nativeβ label is inaccurate. They present evidence demonstrating that moose have been in Colorado for at least centuries and likely longer.
The researchers analyzed newspaper archives, archaeological site reports, scientific journals, museum collections and photo archives to understand where and when moose were present in Colorado prior to the mid-1900s. Perhaps most importantly, notes lead author William Taylor, a University of Colorado Boulder associate professor of anthropology and CU Museum curator of archaeology, the scholars sought Indigenous histories, and in doing so found evidence of moose being well known and deeply integrated into traditional knowledge of Native people in the southern Rockies.
Crystal CβBearing, a study co-author and Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, notes that among the Northern Arapaho, "the moose is considered a valued commodity among the Tribe.β She adds that societies within the Northern Arapaho "utilize many animals, including moose, in their clothing, society items and regalia. This tradition continues today."
The scholarly approach of joining Indigenous knowledge with historical accounts, archaeology and paleontology, "shows the power of multiple independent lines of evidence converging on the conclusion that moose were part of southern Rocky Mountain ecosystems long before modern reintroductions," says study co-author Jonathan Dombrosky of Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and the University of Alabama. "More broadly, the study demonstrates how historical sciences can help us better understand the origins of modern ecosystems and make more informed decisions about their futureβ¦"
