I thought of fennel after you mentioned it, when Stan brought up his rolled duck breast and sausage. I've never tried it with duck, but fennel and maybe some apple added to sausage in rolled pork is good eating. I'd like to try it on some duck this upcoming season. We use fennel with other odds and ends, too. But, your plates and the trimmings always look great.

If Ive eaten it, Im unaware of it. Not native to my wifes cooking, but, there are some vegetables she brings to the table I never heard of, prior to her-plantain, yucca, some others. Ill keep my eye open for it, and a recipe for same.

I use fennel bulb in my venison stew along with many other veggies including kohlrabi and Brussel's sprouts. Fennel is like celery with a mild licorice taste.

My wife makes Brussel sprouts by slicing them in half and frying them in bacon. Lots of bacon.
Damn, they are good that way.

Got first wild turkey 29 May as the Washington State season ended, a good-sized jake. Had him for dinner June 9th thanks to BJ, former caterer and wife of former colleague. Cooked in a bag, the bird was moist and considerably tastier than the store-bought critter. Shotgun is a Darne R16 in ten gauge. Used 1-1/8 oz of #5 shot. Regards, Tim

Tim:
What does your 10 Gauge Darne weigh? I have one with 2-7/8 inch chambers that goes 7 pounds 3 ounces. Yours is the only other Darne 10 Ive ever seen or heard of, although I seem to remember Ted Schefelbein saying he knew of six in the US. Mine is a grade 10.

Mr. Carney wrote an article that appeared in The Double Gun Journal, that included three sliding breech guns, including the 10 gauge. Perhaps he can remind us of the issue and year, my collection is not close at hand.
I remember some of the things he went through to get the 10 gauge right, including some sub standard work in France. A pity they couldnt get it right the first time, and an indication as to why there is no longer an importer to the US.
A 10 gauge Darne is indeed, a rare gun. Fransisque Darne also teased about a version of their gun being available in 10 gauge circa 1936, and I would really love to find one by either maker.
Best, Ted

The seller refers to the second gun as a Fransisque Darne. It is not. It is an earlier Darne built when the company still used stars for quality marks. Note that it is proofed with powder PS. Best, Ted

You're right Ted. I didn't look closely at the two guns in France. But this early Darne looks really nice....the engraving is quite interesting. PS = pre 1900; 6.5 = chambered in centimeters...i.e. 1889 -1912 6440 = Darne SN or would this be the barrel maker? If Darne, that makes it pretty early - Darne was founded in 1881?.....
