Uncommon meat selection

I made meatballs but went very light on sauce and loved it 😀😀 will take a pic tonight.
Nice!! Glad you liked them!
Is it something you will now eat normally?
Can’t wait to see the plate.
What was the protein/fat ratio on package?
Where it is that you got the ground venison if they ever have venison steaks I would definitely grab some.
I will make some venison steaks tonite and show before and after pics of how I cook them simply but tasty. (My dads old school method he is 65 years young) 🙂
I like this topic as I am an avid outdoorsman.
I have learned how to cook game food over many years of trial and error
Deer, squirrel,wild turkey (not store bought), and turtle meat all has a great tender moist juicy flavor if its cooked properly
Wild game has NO preservatives, no added hormones,and barely any fat content.
This is why cooking game food needs to be done right to avoid tough, dry, undesirable taste. When done right you’ll go back for more!!
I’ve cooked squirrel and turtle meat that was so tough my friends dog wouldn’t eat it lol
And I cooked venison that was dry and has a super gamy taste ( not good)
Trial and error years of, I have learned how to make each one juicy and desiring more

Cool!
I'm embarrassed to say that the only new thing we've eaten since the quarantine (where we cook everything ourselves) has been shrimp. Oh, so exotic! But, we've really enjoyed learning various ways to cook them.
Lame, I know!2 -

Shrimp are delicious
I like them just as cold cocktail shrimp
Or cooked in pan with seasoning
I know if U get some big shrimp u can stuff them with seafood stuffing or something similar1 -

I ate the plate too fast
but i just added all of those to my list to buy! although i have had bison burgers, Thursday's bison steak looks really good.
For venison, 180 cal, 34g protein, 2 g fat0 -
I raised our own meat rabbits for a few years, until we moved. Was looking into quail around that same time but never got started due to the move (have eaten it before though). Have done squirrel, but I have a hard time eating it because I can taste how it smells when I am processing it... my family enjoys it though! I had bison and ostrich years ago, escargot once, calamari a few times, cow tongues in the freezer (we buy 1/4 or 1/2 a cow each year). We enjoy venison and have had it several times thanks to friends and family that hunt - tenderloin, roast, ground, and have liked them all! Also wild turkey breast - my friends husband did some herb cream cheese stuffing and wrapped it in bacon. YUM! Have had various kinds of fish - both saltwater and fresh water species. I want to try crawdads someday. I am one of those people that will try just about anything once!
The meat itself makes such a difference. My husbands grandfather raises cows for meat and one year he put up an ornery bull for the family. That stuff was gamier tasting than any venison I have ever had, and so incredibly tough! We ate it, but the next freezerful came from a friend’s dad and it was night and day the quality of meat.2 -
Chicken feet in Thai tom yum, chicken giblets.I had kangaroo sausages , kangaroo mince, venison, frogs and turtle meat on rare occations before.I have tasty meals made from parts from inside of a cow , eel and a lot more to mention in Thailand.2

I really enjoy turtle meat!! How do u have it prepared? here in Massachusetts we have snapping turtles so I get 4 different types of meat off snapping turtle
1 is the legs nice red meat I grind into hamburger/meatballs
2 is the back straps they taste kind of like scallops+ look like a long scallop
3 is the tail has a pinkish pork look and taste to it
4 is the neck which I will sear both sides of neck then throw in oven with veggies+potatoes with chicken broth and white wine it has more chicken texture to it
I had kangaroo once and it was so very good!! I’ve had eel but it is awfully fishy literally tasted like it smelt ( I just skinned it and cooked on grill to try it)1 -

Quality of meat definitely makes a big difference
Rabbits are very good
I would do teriyaki rabbit in crockpot
Squirrel also in crockpot
Had ostrich once at a cabelas that has eat in restaurant
Wild turkey breast by far one of the best especially off a 20+ lb gobbler. My god the size of one breast will overlap 2 grown mans hands 😁
We will actually be having a wild turkey breast on Thursday from one of the ones I got back in may
I plan on stuffing it, roll in egg wash and then roll on crushed fried onions then bake it
Nothing beats actual wild turkey meat also does not have the sleepy chemical that store bought has.
I’ve had lambs +cow tongues with my father who will eat anything!! Anything!! Lol
Bear is another good ground up meat due to their muscle
All these awkward meats are really good for us on nutrition also
Never had the frog legs yet...😞0 -
I love gam. Deer, moose, even bear. I love deer jerky. I have also tried horse which is really good when well prepared.0
-
Ha! I have also had horse in steak form. It was lean tbh.0

I've been in France for 3 days so far. And so far I've eaten gésiers (gizzard), escargots and andouille. French food is awesome

Is it weird that the only thing that is freaking me out is the turtles? I’m pretty adventurous, and I’ve tried a lot of the things mentioned here, but turtle sounds like a no fly zone for me.0

You should see the other thread LOL The original poster opened up 2 identical thread in this same recipes forum back to back (not sure why) so there's actually more answers and pictures there0
-
i just had some duck breast (not common for me) from the oven. meh it was OK.
so real reason i started this thread was b/c essentially, my mom's definition of red meat was chicken breast so i grew up not eating much outside chicken breast, salmon, shrimp, and ground beef....literally that was it. so glad you all came back with awesome ideas.1 -
Moose. I worked summers in Alaska and it was a staple. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than beef

Ohhh adding to the list!!
Not sure what i should try next .so many options!!0 -
Horse meat is also really good, but takes some time to prepare it properly0

I no longer live near my family but when I did I had deer on a regular basis. I did just about the same things I did with beef but my favorite way is.
Mix flour, johnny seasoning, black pepper, with garlic and onion powder. Toss the steaks in that mix. Pan fry in olive oil. Cook to your desired doneness. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
Bear meat? Honestly I'm not that much of a fan. I prefer it mixed with other meats in a summer sausage or pepperoni stick. But it's really important to cook bear all the way through. Treat it like your grandparents treated pork.
Elk same as deer.
I've had gator but at a fair on a stick. Honestly really liked it. Strange combo of chicken and fish. Don't have someone to get it from yet so I don't have recipes.
Grouse. Treat it like a tiny chicken.

Same. I'll try just about anything but there's something about turtle meat that sounds off. I felt that way long before I even got a pet tortoise. They are just in the no eating zone.0 -
I love scrapple, a mixture of different pig offal, spices, and cornmeal. Though I've never made it from scratch, I always just buy it in the store.

Ooooh awesome thread to stumble upon!! - K have always wanted to try moose....
Elk and caribou are tasty... Pheasant is also great!0 -
(...) I’ve had lambs +cow tongues with my father who will eat anything!! Anything!! Lol (...)
Wait... is tongue an "uncommon" meat? Ate it a lot growing up, especially pork, and the only reason I don't cook it that much is that it takes forever.
In fact, cold tongue folded in a mayo sauce with potatoes, carrots and parsnips is one of my favourite dishes.0 -
@MaltedTea I was semi-joking to be honest! I live in Edinburgh so you see haggis spiced chocolate and things in a lot of the tourist shops but I'm not all that surprised you can just buy the raw spices. Might get some myself, it would be great with chicken and lentils.
On that note, haggis is delicious, and Scottish, spicy, and offal-y 😛
Mackies Haggis and cracked black pepper crisps are the best! I think I need to ask someone to send me a care package again.
The farmers market underneath the castle has some really lovely things. I bought a whole rabbit there a few years ago and it was fantastic. Oh, and all those artisan bakeries! The German bakery used to be good, and the one at Gillmore Pl near Viewforth was where I used to buy most of my bread.
Food is so good in Scotland. No need for lots of spices if the quality of the food is good. 1 -
Elk is great in chili!!
