observer Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Seems most game meat contains less fat and if cooked right can taste really delicious. Tried a pheasant yesterday, casseroled, really tasty, makes you understand why they shoot them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 You wasted it Obs. Pheasent should be hung until the meat is green with mould and maggots dripping from it. I am a pheasent plucker, a very pleasent pheasent plucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Venison that is pressure cooked with a little oil, water and Italian spices tastes like roast beef. 20 years living with Bambis crossing the road whenever they felt like it, taught me that.

Wingnut Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Couldn't agree with you more Mary. Venison is a class thing. and highly over rated. Much the same as freshly caught salmon. I'd sooner have it from a tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not tried it yet, but I've heard Ostritch is nice? Tried snake once, in a curry, bit too chewy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 i've always liked the wild goose. er the feathered variety. very little fat on them and looks rather like roast beef when cooked. only trouble is you have to get your own as you cannot buy it or trade anything for it.

observer Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Tried getting a goose this week-end, but the Butcher didn't have any, and said they were quite expensive too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Try Lidls. They usually have frozen ones. Fresh ones are seasonal, unless you go see Farmer Giles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
