So the slow cooking makes it tender? I was camping some time ago in the
Calif Desert, high desert out of Yucca Valley. Found a big old diamond
back and invited him for a bbq. Good, but very tough. Cooked it more
like chicken.
If I get in a similar situation again I'll try simmering it for a while.
Normally I leave them alone, but had to kill this one for safety
reasons.
