"Ye dundering old shammick!" broke in the parson, driving the ferule of his cane deep in the sand, "be content to have begotten a fool, and thank heaven and his mother he's a gamey fool." "Thank'ee, Pa'son," said Young Zeb, turning his head as Jim Lewarne fastened the belt of corks under his armpits. "Now the line not too tight round the waist, an' pay out steady. You, Jim, look to this.
They feasted upon the hard, gamey bass, and sent members of their party to the fields for grains. Their children lived in the sun a strange kind of enchantment over it all. I stood high on a rock above the river one evening across from the Indian camp, with a Canadian official who was a kind of white father to the remnant of the Indian tribes in that part of the province.
"I never was a fish, and consequently never was foolish enough to jump at a bunch of hooks; but, as the cartilage of a fish's mouth is almost nerveless, there is but little pain from a hook diet. Bass, salmon, pike, and other gamey fish will often keep on biting after they have been badly hooked." "So will men," said Bess, as she threw her troll into the water to do fresh duty.
"How gamey those fish are!" observed Mr. Fernald reminiscently. "And bass are sporty, too." "I'd rather fish for bass than anything else!" asserted Ted. "Ever tried landlocked salmon?" "N o. We didn't get those." "That's what you get in Maine and New Brunswick," explained Mr. Fernald. "I don't know, though, that they are any more fun to land than a good, spirited bass.
It is not unsportsmanlike, it is in fair chase to shoot, and then there comes to the ground, with a great thump, the cock of the northern woods, and you have one of the prizes man gets by slaying. But this is only in the wood. In the open it is quite another thing. What a toothsome bird, too, is your ruffed grouse, how plump and yet gamey to the taste! You must know how to cook him, though.
The beautiful black robe and the meat were soon carried by the stalwart men to the boats, and the journey was resumed. That evening at the camp fire all had abundance of bear's meat for their supper. It was very much enjoyed by all, as the meat of these animals is good, tasting something like young pork, with a gamey flavour. Three Boys in the Wild North Land by Egerton Ryerson Young
From a book Ann recited the business of that day; naming each article that had been sold, and the cost and the profit thereof. "How's that with last year?" her father commanded. "Two-fifteen below." "Fool!" John whispered. "You are a cow, with your gamey leg. You're ruining the place."
'Twere a high smell, a sort of gamey flaviour, calling to mind venison and hare, just as you'd expect of a great squire, not like a poor man's 'natomy, at all; and that was what strengthened my faith that 'twas Sir Blount.
'You'll be shot, I see, observed Mercy. 'Well! cried Mr Bailey, 'wot if I am? There's something gamey in it, young ladies, an't there? I'd sooner be hit with a cannon-ball than a rolling-pin, and she's always a-catching up something of that sort, and throwing it at me, when the gentlemans' appetites is good.
Those portions of it which have not had sufficient sun in the drying process, become tainted, and the odour is anything but agreeable. For all, it serves a purpose in those countries where salt is a scarce commodity; and cooked as all Spanish Americans cook it with a plentiful seasoning of onions, garlic, and chili, the "gamey" flavour ceases to be perceptible.
