I'm the average Joe. I don't eat fishing rod, balls, tongue, brains, whatever. But, after seeing a post of Poser's I thought, by golly, Ima gonna keep me the next deer heart I can get my hands on. You average Joes out there, like me, have got to try it. I have to tell you guys, it was actually very good, in fact, I would call it tender and delicious. I expected a very irony or gamey taste much like liver but it is nothing of the sort. In fact, it was sort of sweet. Here's a couple links for additional info:

Disclaimer, I have no idea if I separated everything correctly as instructed in the links above, but I did my best and I do know that what I cooked up was dang good.
The Start![](http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/BlountArrow/Heart/Heart1_zpsff83ce49.jpg)
Removing the top/crown of the heart

Slicing Open (Note the Heart Strings)

Better look at the Heart Strings (never really knew such actually existed)

After trimming the fat what I was left with

The goods ready for the skillet

The final product (all it needed was a soft taco shell)

Again, I'm by far NO expert so for those that have tried this don't rip me on my technique. I just kept an open mind and tried it and it was great. I sauteed the veggies for a little bit and then threw the meat in for a quick sautee and man, was I impressed! I will never throw the heart away again (unless it is obliterated by the impact shot)!
