this is ohio, so many people know what it is, and have their own predetermined thoughts on the subject. however, it truly is my favorite meat. i like the taste, and most importantly the health of eating it vs cow.

have plenty processed now. this year i didn't even add any pork or cow fat to the burger. so it's super lean and healthy. pretty much 0% fat. not sure if anyone would like to purchase any before i freeze it. much better fresh.

what i'm more interested in is new ideas cooking wise. it's hard for me to get around tacos and stuffed peppers.

Since it's so lean, it makes really good jerky.

I grew up on mostly venison and have a freezer full now, thanks to my parents. I prefer it, as I can't really taste beef and I enjoy the health/environmental benefits of it as well.

Recipes I use it in regularly:

hamburgers
lasagna
meat sauce
marinara with meatballs (I mix it with a little pork for this)
breakfast sausage (add a little salt, pepper and sage!)
Hungarian soup (buttloads of paprika)
chili (have some in the fridge right now)
moussaka
breakfast scrambles

I rarely mix it with other meat unless totally necessary. For the most part, venison is the only red meat we eat.

yeah, i mix in italian sausage w/ my meatballs or meat sauce. plus to hold it together i have to add extra egg and bread crumbs. so it does sort of lose it's health value, but much better than the alternative. chili is excellent, and the only way i'll eat it.

still, my favorite has to be deer tacos w/ all the trimmings.

Ditto!

I'd be looking for minimally processed products.

Not sure if your venison is farm raised or not, but keep in mind it is illegal in the U.S. to sell venison from hunted deer.

if Cow= Madcow disease
if Deer= Chronic wasting disease

CWD, like bovine spongiform encephalopathy and its human equivalent, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or vCJD, is known as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. Like other TSEs, CWD is believed to be caused by misshapen prion proteins that gradually take the place of normal proteins and destroy brain cells, causing large holes to form in the brain. TSE victims are left emaciated, stumbling, drooling-and, inevitably, dead. [i]

Think I'll pass.
But this does explain some of cookie's posts.

i think venison makes the best sausage. I imagine you will have to add a little pork or at least a good bit of fat.

I do believe that you can take some of your meat to Thurn's and they will process it for you; they might be able to turn it into cured sausages, which venison is perfect for.
