A few weeks ago my neighbor said that her dad had taken down a deer for her and she was having the meat processed and had asked me if I would want to try some. I was game, trying a new meat that could be obtained in a very inexpensive way… Sunday my neighbor brought over two pounds of ground deer meat for us to try. Simply said… deer meat is not for me! Oh sakes alive… while I was browning the meat I had to open the window because the smell was making me nauseous. I added the deer meat to some sausage and then made spaghetti sauce that simmered all day long in the crock pot. I served the sauce over noodles and big brother and hubby loved it. Middle brother was not super hip on it but did eat a few bites. Little brother would not touch it. Then there was me… I tried to eat it but every time I got the fork near my face the smell was too overpowering. So although I really tried, deer meat is not for me. So I am thankful that hubby is not a hunter! I have talked to a few friends who have said that deer meat really is an acquired taste. I have also heard that elk meat is much better. I am not so sure about it, I think I will stick to what I know!
