Venison = yummiest and tastiest treat ever!

[UNCjigga]

I was at a barbecue on Sunday where one of the guys brought some venison to cook. There were some cold leftovers, so I tried a bite and it was good, and the generous hunter offered to drop me off a steak (he even told me how to prepare it in the oven.)

So today I ate it and OMG this stuff is good! I have no idea which cut I had but it was tender like filet mignon, but a LOT less fatty. I loved the texture, it was buttery-smooth and almost literally melted in my mouth!

The craziest thing though--this deer was killed before Thanksgiving! He only gets a week to hunt but he usually gets him enough to last him up until summer. I am completely ignorant when it comes to hunting, but he said unless he has a nuisance permit he only gets one week to hunt

I'm thinking of buying him some ammo or something in hopes he gets me more next chance he gets!

Jerky=:thumbsup:, also.

You should try eating the heart or liver of a deer, too..it's pretty tasty

Only had it once, in the form of jerky. Was pretty good, but then jerky always is.

Venison is good, but it is a little lean for my liking...I prefer a good prime rib cut of beef, or some veal...yum yum

Are you serious? People eat that stuff? The only weird stuff I've ever eaten was the tendon and tripe in #17 from Pho Hoa.

Yep, and i'm not kidding either..it's a different taste, but it's actually really good.

That's the thing, normally I like the nicely marbled steaks meself. A lean cut of beef is really easy to overcook and is often dry. But the venison is lean AND tender/juicy. I don't know how those deer do it?

They eat shrubs and get shot?

Try elk. MUUUUUCH better.

My wife was raised on venison - almost every meal - so she really doesn't like it anymore.

I think venison can be good up to a point, but you can get sick of it.

Try moose meat sometime if you get a chance. I love Venison, but Moose meat is way better!
