[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 3040609, member: 5778"] I define gameyness as a strong pungent musky flavor. Most wild game has it. Wild boar and moose are the only wild animals I have eaten so far that don't have this. Preparing the meat and the method of cooking determines the strength of the gameyness in the meat. I try to prepare it so that it has minimal amount of gameyness. Believe it or not, but venison does have another flavor under all that gameynes thats actually quite delicious. Its not tasteless without the gameyness like some may try to lead you to believe. Some people love the gamey flavor and think its the way it is suppose to taste. More power to ya. Makes cooking it real simple. Had a guy once that told me he was disappointed that my venison was not gamey. He was from Arizona and had eaten wild horse and was hoping for a similar experience. Someone told my brother that he hung the deer until he could smell the sweatness. In other words, he wanted a tinge of rot to his meat before he ate it. I think thats a European thing. They like to let the game turn "sweet" before they eat it. My problem is that I want others to eat the venison that I cook. I don't know how many people I have met who said they have eaten venison and will never put another bite in their mouth ever again. The reason these people have said that is because someone fed them gamey venison. I guess our society has grown weak or perhaps lost its civility because we are growing away from gamey, rotting meats as well as offal and sweet breads. [/QUOTE]
