Lovely ---I used to make them -I had an eccentric (mental health unstable) husband who would not eat meat other than wild meat. Three times a year I got a deer carcass delivered into the garage (head off and guts out), got a butcher to quarter it for me (for a small fee) so that the pieces were small enough for me to bone out in the kitchen, and pack for freezer. I minced the scrapings off the bones to make venison burgers - lovely with creamed mushroom sauce. I also needed an extra 10cuft freezer to stock up on wild fowl in season - mallard duck, pheasant and the occasional woodcock (hard to get). Quail I could get all year round.
I enjoyed the 'wild meat' too but it was hard work since I had a full time job besides.
The things I did for love !!! - learnt my lesson - won't slave over a hot stove for any man ever again  |
I didn't think it would be possible to get deer in England ... duck and pheasant perhaps ... but deer? Ah well, we live and learn. Locally, the deer population is on the increase; they are a pest and a danger to motorists at night. Especially in the mating season. Well if you only get it once a year, a car isn't going to stop you from .... well you get the picture. But I also have Elk and Moose in my freezer, courtesy of a friend in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. But for now, I think I may just have an egg for breakfast ... and take an extra lipitor.
