Elk steak....  :uffda: :thumbsup: :w00t: :mmm:

Lean red, succulent meat.


The only elk I've had was roasted (sort of like a pot roast), and IIRC slow-roasting helps take away some of the gamey flavor.

It was a big-ole bone-in elk ribeye.  Fantastic.

The lesser cuts are good for roasts or stews, and yes, you are correct. The fillets, however, are better than most beef fillets. I envy Beeb his elk ribeye, as it is the best steak I have ever tasted.

Reindeer is usually too lean to have a good ribeye. But the fillets are among the finest cuts of meat you can have. Lean, tender and very full of taste. A half and half with wild trout and reindeer tenderloin or sirloin is my idea of a perfect meal.

Around here I can usually get elk and deer steaks each season, and those are good eating.  Moose is good as well.  All that grass from the bottom of ponds makes them tasty.

Like Obelix, I'd also like me some boar.  :ph34r:


MMM boar.  My butcher had some very nice wild boar bacon on offer a couple of weeks ago.

Place near my parents used to live served the best wild boar sausage.  I think it's the only wild boar sausage I had had, but for standard American type pork sausage it was the best I've tried.

You get some pretty good wild boar sausage with pumpkin seeds in some supermarkets here.

One thing about sea bass is it has nothing to do with bass.  The name is a marketing gimmick to boost demand for what used to be kind of a trash fish.

I wish the internet mob would concentrate on more important stuff, like people killing people for example.

Nope, the entire fate of humanity depends on a tiger some people liked but most were unfamiliar with until he got shot.

Usually it's the arrow.
