Red Mosquito

A co worker just gave me a bunch of venison, so it got me thinking about all of the wild game meats that I enjoy. (Sorry vegetarians).

When we go to Alaska to visit family I always get my fill of reindeer, moose and sometimes bear. Of those 3 I really enjoy the reindeer in sausage form.

I also used to have elk pretty regularly when I lived out west.

Please share your favorites.

so this isn't like celebrity death match? honestly I'm a little disappointed.

I'm punchy from the company meeting earlier -but i heart you, babe.

I am not really a fan of venison but do enjoy the breakfast sausages that my boyfriend's step-father made from the deer he got (what's the right word? hunted? killed? caught? whatever- you get what I mean)
he used some kind of great spice mixture in it and they were very tasty.

the only one ive been ok with was deer jerky, but then it was mostly the spices that i was tasting and not the venison itself. i have tried venison steaks before and they were too gamey( probably not prepared correctly) and it was a turn off so i havent tried it since

I've never been a huge fan to be honest..for me its never been the gaminess but the toughness of a lot of it..I remember having bear and it wasnt too bad but that was when I was about 8

you know what really creeps me out is eating small birds: quail or pheasant..I like the taste but the small bones really weird me out

quail is delicious. I haven't had pheasant enough to decide if I like it.

Also, quail eggs.

oh man, I love quail eggs...and regarding the above game, I prefer it in sausage form as well

quail egg, oyster, sriracha shooter is outstanding

that sounds good..how about quail egg on steak tartar..one of my favorites

Venison jerky could be the greatest thing outside of bacon.

in laws brought me some really good Alaskan reindeer salami recently.

That looks fantastic

Arby's is selling venison sandwiches

I miss the abundance and availability of game meat in South Africa.

I know! game 7, 10 innings, rain delay to add to the anticipation, and then the cubs win!

woo hoo!

Wild boar is one of my all time favorite things to eat. Probably my #1 strictly "meat" option.

I think we all know what your real #1 meat option is...

I'm not a fan of venison at all, but I really want to try bear meat.
