Default I would lean towards Pan Roasted Medallions of Marmot in a Morel Sauce served upon a Potato Galette

Cooking the galette in rendered marmot blubber is optional, but recommended.

Default probably not a marmot.... marmots are huge!!!

also known as rock-chucks, whistlepigs.... etc

they look just like a ground hog... only slightly bigger and fatter

probably a martin or weasel... or maybe it was some poor kids pet ferret??

should a made a fur out of it!

hehe

Default I know it wasn't a marmot, I don't think we even have mamots in these parts (?)... definitely some

kinda weasel-y thing. I'm thinkin' marten, because it had to weigh atleast 15-20 lbs, it was a big (now dead) weasel-y thing... :-(

Default If the galette is cooked with rendered marmot, I'd go with a young tannic Bandol (it should cut the

gaminess like a knife and the Mouvedre flavors should complement the morels nicely). I'd otherwise lean towards a medium bodied '95 Chateauneuf du Pape like the Chapoutier La Bernadine. I'd probably shy away from Hermitage, but a Cote Rotie might also be nice.
