Guess we won't have to buy any beef at the grocery this year.

Congratulations again!

I do like venison, but it's never been able to overcome my love of dead cow.

It's all in the preparation. If you like spicy food (not necessarily *hot* spicy), then venison
is
just the ticket, substituted for goat or lamb in Middle Eastern or Indian recipes. It's pretty
good on the grill, too, mesquite-smoked and cooked really rare. We substitute it for beef
in
a lot of dishes, too. You can use ground venison just about anywhere you'd use ground
beef. The only real exception is hamburger patties: there's just not enough fat in venison
to
hold them together.

I have known butchers to add beef fat to the venison while grinding
deer-burger. I don't know any details.

The place we take our deer to will do that if we ask.

We don't ask.
