cranberry recipes

Hi Stella. I ended up using an icebox oatmeal-raisin recipe that I found in an old cookbook. But thanks for the help - you found some recipes that I didn't :D

In most states it is illegal to sell wild game. Some people will say "but my butcher sells venison in season!" Be sure to ask the butcher whence came the venison - it was probably farm-raised and corn-fed, just like lamb or beef. I usually swap for venison - boot socks, hunting orange caps, occasionally a triloom shawl for the hunter's wife (or for the hunter, in one case!).

Moose tastes like...moose. It is similar to deer but this moose has a decidedly different gaminess to the deer I can swap for around here, which in turn is different to the Illinois deer I grew up eating. It is QUITE lean, so I fried it up as patties in rendered bacon fat. A little horseradish and mayo and they were pretty darned good.

Hi Wooly Have you ever cooked the deer meat and onion gravy and hot homemade biscuits.oh, that is so good and have you tried barbecue deer meat that is great as well.

Hi,

I thought I'd weigh in here as I used to have moose quite regularly as a child. It has a heavier taste than either deer or elk. I found it quite tough and greesy as a child, but that could have been down to the cook.

Venison is a very light meat, taste-wise, my prefered game is Elk that is supposedly organically raised, so not wild. It does have a mildly "gamey" taste too, though. If that's what you like.

I love any wild game.

Do you soak the meat over night in salt water ,it will help bring out some of the gamey taste when cooked.

Stella Fenley spun a FINE 'yarn':

Stella Fenley. . . Hi, Stella, MY family has always soaked in a lemon juice and onion concoction to reduce gaminess. Salt only softens the tissues/sinews and raises ones blood pressure, grin.

Nope! I love the gamey taste. Yum!
