I had some chili today made with Buffalo and Antelope.

Just fantastic. I know some of you are game hunters and probabaly had some excellent venison or buffalo, whatever. I do not hunt and I love exotic game meat now.

What is your favorite?

To be completely honest; I usually just make chili with beef.....unless I have a lot of deer in the freezer. It is an economic choice, not a flavor preference.

I'm not saying I can't tell the difference, I'm just saying that chili isn't what I choose to showcase wild game flavor.

I am reminded of the time when i lived with my father though.

Every so often, I'd clean out the freezer and make meat sauce.

People who happened to eat some would ask what was in it. I'd have to think long and hard......

"hmmmmmmmmmmm........probably some deer, some rabbit, some doves, some squirrel, some turkey, some groundhog, some cat......etc etc...."

I would have to tend to agree. Still, new to me and I really enjoy the flavor. I should have mentioned this was made with cut up rather than ground meat. I think to really enjoy the flavor of this type of meat, it should not be ground up.

Hey....try this........

take a nice piece of meat about 1" thick and pound it into a thin patty (about 1/4" thick(.

Soak it in MILK for a half hour or so.

Wring it out, pat dry with a paper towel, season with JUST a little salt and pepper, and fry it in a little butter so it is just about medium rare.

This is a great simple and quick way to really taste the meat.

Chili was originally developed as a cooking process to make near uneatable cuts of meat palatable. As a purist, I prefer road kill.

Andy,

You mentioned squirrel.

Although I truly enjoy game meats, as a New Englander I've never tried squirrel.

Is is good?

Anyone else eat squirrel?

I think squirrel taste sort of like rabbit, which tastes sort of like chicken.........which is no where NEAR as good as pork, which is what I'd rather eat.
