Venison..

[smiith]

Who likes it?

Every time the butchers has Game pie, or some venison, i can't resist buying it!

Loads of people seem to disagree with out of my friends, saying its a poor deer.. But as far as im concerned, its just like any other meat, its dead and cooked, and tastes amazing..

What are your opinions on it?

[W103_A5H]

Never had it but it looks nice!

[Jamie]

I've never tried it, if I was asked to I would though.

At the end of the day it's just meat.

[mlawlan69]

Go to the butchers, and get some bought! SOOO NICE

Any particular reason? Or just because its out of the norm?

I'v eaten horse, was abit like steak..

[Tommo87]

It's meat and therefor good, I'm not fussed about the animal as I don't have that on my plate its just a lump of meat and if it tastes good then it's even better.

Yes venison is nice, I like it as steaks or sausage.

[Tommo87]

Other good lesser used meats are
Goat
Mutton
Veal
Rabbit
Horse is ok but I always find it a bit tough

Not tried venison as the butcher doesn't have it as far as I'm aware, but I'd definately eat it... I LOVE MEAT

Just bought some random burgers over the weekend, from a New Zealand burger company that currently have a stall at a food fair in town...

Ostrich and unsure on the others gazelle and wallabi or something i think....

New zealand native meats anyway...

Any animal that doesn't look like a an alien should be eaten.. excluding household pets etc.

Veal is a baby cow I think

[Jay_]

I would definitely try it! Not had it yet. Had horse at Le Man a few years ago & I liked that, so I guess this is just a nicer version of that.

[Tommo87]

I see what you did there and it was roe-ful

[brianS]

Kangaroo is a brilliant meat, very lean not much fat and tastes great, camel is also good.

Bugs in Thailand are great also

[matt_vtr_15a]

I don't understand bugs...

It's not classed as meat in my eyes...your basically eating their guts..

I just cringe at the thought of it so I'm biased...

[MuZiZZle]

I had raw minced veal in Italy, it was nice to be honest

I've eaten crocodile, and crickets

Josh sent me some photos the other day as they were cooking 'roo on the barbie out in Sydney. Lucky git :D

[brianS]

It's such a good meat, doesn't take long to cook and is very tender and lean,
Have it at least twice a week.

[Jay_T87]

Try Goat in a garlic sauce with some fresh pasta and an ice cold pint on Hieneken:drink:... Absolutely beautiful :)

[L33h]

Ive never tried venison like its on my list to try lol

Ive had horse tho. Not very nice imo
Ive had frogs legs too and they were alright lol

[griff_106]

Absolutely love venison tbh. We had it for Christmas last year just as something different from the generic turkey and the family like it too.

Don't think I could eat rabbit or horse though - I keep rabbits as pets and the sister has a horse she loans so they're a bit too close to my heart to be having them as din dins... :homme:

[DUFC]

Ah you beat me to it

[Gabbastard]

Two mins out the back of my house and Im straight into deer-filled countryside. My grandad used to go out taking them down with a shotgun all the time lol, we ate pretty well.

[stevie_m]

Venison burgers are pretty damn good

[Bedford126]

Had zebra for my tea tonight and buffalo is my tea tomorrow night. We have a speciality butchers near us so Im pretty much going through every meat I can

Venison is nice but its hit and miss depending on who cooks it.

[L33h]

Ive heard it smells horrible when its getting cooked aswell?

[Gabbastard]

Nah it doesnt!

[Bedford126]

Ive heard it smells horrible when its getting cooked aswell?

Smells like any other meat if you cook it right. Your pan needs to be red hot with the oil smoking then just cook a couple of mins each side. Just like a quality steak.

[L33h]

Oh well, theres me told :)

[0rang3peel]

venison is amazing

if you like goat then I would certainly recommend trying jamaican curried goat!

[stevo67]

I`ve tried venison but found the taste too strong,i`ve heard squirrel is nice & tastes like chicken.

[GC_Belfast]

Veal is a baby cow I think

Its not a baby.... Its slaughtered at the same age as lamb is, around a year

Venison is absolutely gorgeous. Only had it once though at a swank restaurant, too expensive to buy and cook yourself

a lamb is a baby sheep...

a calf is a baby cow...

Veal is calf. Don't be so pedantic.

[Mochachino]

Ostrich is very nice. Used to always have ostrich burgers when I went to town.

Venison is also nice, used to have that everyday a few years ago lol

I just eat fillet steak and chicken these days.

Ever seen the size of a sheep or veal cow when it goes to slaughter? Far from baby size...

[matt_vtr_15a]

It's obviously still a very young meat or it would be called beef...

that's all he is saying...

FUCK ME!!

[Giraffe]

Maybe in size, but I'm on about age, so I win. Now, drop the pedantic attitude, you know what I'm saying.
