Bleedin' Eye Scott here...
Oh yeah... Happy Holidays to all you sweaty bodies!
I've been seeing all this banter about Reindeer meat and Elk meat and have to throw my tomato into the salad...
I grew up in NW Wyo (fer all yew fawrners... it's located in the Rocky Mountians home to most of Yellowstone Natl. Park affectionately known to Yogi Bear as Jellystone...
Quit laughing, I lived a six month period in S. Florida and once told a New Yorker I was from Wyoming, and she asked, "What state's that in??") I gave up long ago...
Now back to the venison, I have lived in Finland (even married one of em') and eaten copious amounts of Reindeer which leaves no doubt whatsoever that it ranks high on the delicacy list (1 steak costs roughly $40 USD... I'm not kidding, am I Kristofer!). It's a wonderfully smooth and very tasty meat that has zero fat as does most elk. Until I was 13 years old, I had NEVER eaten one bite of beef... only elk. McDonalds ruined that run when they moved into the nearby metropolis of Idaho Falls, ID.
Now you are reading the blabbering of a certified, CIA listed, capsicum gonzo who lives to 'blow out the pipes' every meal with some sort of devil sauce... Reindeer and Elk meat are ruined if you add hot sauce (Elk chile excepted...). Leave it alone and you'll get a much better dining experience... BBQ'd plain is absolutely best...
Another nice side effect of Reindeer and Elk meat (and especially Moose too..) is the pleasant, highly enriched flatulence. Nothin' like 3-4 bowls of venison chile and retiring under the covers with and unknowing victim.... "For better or for worse..." was HER vow...
What in the h-e-(double toothpick) was this message all about?... I have no idea whatsoever... oh well...
Now you all behave...
