Don't get me wrong - venison is OK. But now we've got one butchered
and in the freezer and I'm sure the first of December there will be
another one. As far as I'm concerned, you can take out the tenderloin
and throw the rest away. Cook it sliced up in bacon fat, make a nice
gravy with the fat, stock and cream - oh, yeah. Anyway, it's become
so boring - deer steaks, deer burgers, deer chili, deer jerkey (that's
pretty good). I don't want to solicit hundreds of recipes, and I've
seen a few listed in game recipes on a couple of web sites - but I'm
just curious if anyone has a venison recipe that is way out of the
ordinary - not part of the above list, or a stew or anything like
that. Something creative? Anyone?

How about you swaddle yourself in that deer skin, shove an antler up
your ass, and lay out on the interstate while waiting for a semi to
come along... as far as I'm concerned all of you can be thrown away.

I made a hunter's pie using venison topped with a fancy potato topping
that originally is supposed to be a baked potato dish. It came out very
nice.

I would just jerk it all. ;-)
I know what you mean, it's possible to have TOO much deer meat in the
freezer! Smoked deer sausage is also a good standby. A lot of folks
around here just have the butcher make sausage out of most of it.

Didn't tell the kids,,,,they asked me to make it again!

Can it. We've been canning vennison since the 1960s, and it's really
quite good. I like nothing more than taking a quart of canned vennison,
adding about 1/2 pound of frozen peas, and serving the whole mess over
mashed potatoes. Or use it to make a stew. Tendy, juicy, and
delicious.

If you've got steaks pan fry them and add about 1/4 cup of currant
jelly just before they are done. Remove the steaks and deglaze the pan
with red wine; serve the wine/jelly sauce over the steak.

If you have lots of venison just make sausage...it's easy to do and fun
for the whole family. We make brats each year and enjoy experimenting
with mixtures like venison and wild rice.

You see, and I am sooo jealous! (well depending on what area of the
country you are in...and the deer is from) I grew up in Michigan (my
birthday being opening day) and have always LOVED venison. I have only
had it once since I moved away and it wasn't the same. For some
reason I really never thought about the fact that deer in different
areas of the country would taste differnt due to different diets...

Anyway - I would give anything to have GOOD venison stocked in my
freezer in all it's forms

I hate venison and will not eat it. It's disgusting meat and should be
fed to the dogs only. What really angers me is here in Wisconsin they
have deer hunting during the week of, and on Thanksgiving day. So, I
prepare a nice Thanksgiving dinner, all our friends come over and all
the men leave to go hunting (except one guy that dont hunt). So, all
I see of my husband on this holiday is a flash of blaze orange fly out
the door armed with a handful of guns and lots of beer. I end up
spending the holiday with all the wives and that one guy who are all
really fed up with the guys leaving each year. We spend the whole day
waiting for them to come back. When the sun goes down, they all come
tearing into the house, drunk on their asses and full of dirt and
often blood (if they got a deer). Then they all want food, which is
cold by then, so I got to warm everything for them, and listen to them
complain that its taking too long. Half the time they are so drunk
they dont even recall what they ate the next day, and it seems they
always get into a big arguement about someone scaring away a deer or
something stupid like that. So we got to listen to that crap while
they are eating. I am completely fed up with this. At least the
state could eliminate the hunting on Thanksgiving day and give the
guys another day to make it up.

This year the guys are in for a surprise. I am not cooking. I'm
getting a bunch of frozen pizzas and thats what they get, plus the use
of the oven, because they can bake them themselves. Us women are
going to go to a restaurant for our turkey dinners, and may not come
back till midnight.

Happy ****ing Thanksgiving

Cold-pack it and send it to me. I love the stuff.

Can't you think of any party games? Seems like this would be a perfect time
for Naked Mazola Twister. And what's stopping you from boozing it up while
they're gone? Only thing better than Naked Mazola Twister is DRUNKEN Naked
Mazola Twister.

their asses and full of dirt and often blood (if they got a deer). Then

Why not PLAN to have dinner after dark? If you know that they're not going
to be back until after dark, isn't it STUPID to make a banquet that is ready
hours and hours too early? If I were in your bitter worn-out shoes (and GOD
am I glad I'm not!) I'd plan to have dinner ready around 8 PM. That ought to
be enough time for the hunters to get cleaned up and have some nibbles with
cocktails before dinner starts. And with wives like you, I'm sure they NEED
those cocktails.

next day, and it seems they always get into a big arguement about someone

C'mon, li'l lady, don't be that way...you just don't understand huntin'.
There *are* reasons for the dates applied to the various hunting seasons,
but you wouldn't know about that kind of ecology or forestry; all YOU care
about is your precious Thanksgiving dinner, which you DELIBERATELY turn into
a martyr-fest.

Oh, THAT will solve the problem! Sounds like you have a terrific marriage
going there.

Geez, Shirley, don't stop there. Go out, eat, drink and be merry and
bring back a male stripper to entertain yourselves when you get back
home. Try to time it so he's just finishing up when the guys return.
Might have to pay him a bonus if he knows they'll be totin' guns. -aem
