Kind of a weird segue, I am just now at the point in my life where I'm starting to appreciate/get into earthy flavors (I also like gamey meats personally) thanks to some bourbons that I've been able to try...so I bet I'd really like it. I ate a lot more game meat as a kid, kind of lost my taste for it. Though I did shoot and eat a rabbit two weeks ago, even knowing it was rabbit I could not tell the difference between it and chicken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Venison is the GOAT of meats. Goat, strangely enough, isn't the GOAT, but it's aight too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t hunt much but the rest of our family did, venison was always a treat…. Don’t know when I lost the taste for it but it’s not for me in the twilight years does venison cover elk meat in your neck of the woods or is that strictly a term for deer meat there?

We don't really have elk, so it just refers to deer meat here. When I've talked to people who go hunt elk elsewhere, they usually just call it elk meat.

Interesting… in my experience people who hunt or eat game regularly call deer venison and elk meat elk meat, but there have been an influx of yuppies looking for “elk venison” and I’m not sure what’s causing that terminology to take off. I know technically they are right, it’s just interesting how’s that’s changed over the last 5 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or possibly...the exact opposite? idk. People here just call it Elk, Moose, Deer usually. lol. Edited October 22, 2021 by Tugboat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that not everyone can turn a smoker on. Push "smoke". And then later, take the meat out. But how hard could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this note...it's genuinely startling, if you grow up in a cattle area. And then move somewhere, like way out east, and suddenly the Beef doesn't taste properly beefy anymore. And it's like...wtf? I've got a beef with this beef. It tastes weird. It's more so, like Grass-fed vs Corn Sileage force-fed i guess. But man, it's a pronounced difference. In poor *** consumer grade meats at least. But it shows up in a lot of the cheaper restaurants and pubs 'n stuff too. It's like eating a different meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add some browned kielbasa sausage next time, to load up even more imo. But it's pretty hard to combine bacon, potatoes, and cheese...in a way that doesn't result in something pretty nice to eat.

Guessing they're probably just looking for a "boutique" experience, with their Venison. Whatever the limits on that may be. Up Canada way, there are some pretty murky rules on wild game sales.

Sugashane Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Made wings for football today. My 4 year old grabbed on of my hotwings instead of her bbq ones. Poor girl. She spit it out and kept saying "hot hot hot" lol Glad I don't do some of the crazy hotsauces some of you guys might do. If it gets much hotter than a jalapeno I don't even bother anymore. On a positive note she will probably not steal food off my plate when I'm doing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
