Jasmin 0 #2 August 19, 2002 NO way! Dinner tastes better when you get to relax during its preparation and when you don't have to do the dishes. That said, there's something nice when you eat a meal you've made and everyone else is enjoying it as much as you! ps Nice to know there are guys out ther capable of cooking something other than a microwave dinner!xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

dbattman 0 #4 August 19, 2002 Home-cooked is the poop! Even better is slow-cooked. Throw in some stew meat, mushrooms, onions, carrots, and a potato. Spice it up, fill it with water and plug it in before you leave in the morining. When you get home, you have it all ready to go. Speaking of which, I need to get mine ready for tomorrow!

jtval 0 #9 August 19, 2002 if ANYONE can cook venison Correctly they are a good cook. that stuff is fickle if its not prepared properly. cook it for a few second too long, or too short and it tastes like dirty taint!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #10 August 19, 2002 Quoteif ANYONE can cook venison Correctly they are a good cook Well....the only thing you have to know about cooking venison is DON'T OVER COOK IT. It's very lean so it's prone to drying out easily. Most venison that doesn't taste good isn't really the cooks fault. It seems "most" people don't realize how long the meat needs to hang for the enzymes to break it down. The best venison I have ever had was a deer that I got in Montana. It was kinda warm that year, about 36F, both day and night. I hung that deer in the garage for 7 full days before i processed it. It was awesome!!! Last time I was out there it was waaay too cold to hang a deer up outside. I tried but it was frozen solid after the first day. That one didn't turn out as well. If you don't hang the deer long enough the meat will be "gamey" and tough. Venison is ALL about the care of the meat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #11 August 19, 2002 yea it also must be stripped properly... ever taste venison that had a piece of fat/sinew on it. OMG it is disgusting. My father hunts and does his own butchering too. he has the best recipes Ive tasted for Babmi! Of course you may think Im biased but Alot of "younger" hunters dont perpare properly. When I was iN GA i used to steal a few slab from him and use his recipes. damn I miss that!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird 0 #12 August 19, 2002 Damn, now I'm craving venison and we don't have any left. The best venison is fresh, medium rare BBQ'd tenderloin steaks from a bambi that was raiding a grain field before being bagged. mmmmmm nummy. Or a roast. Or jerky. Or stew. Or... okay, all venison is good. Moose, too. Got a taste of antelope last year, and wow that was nice. Maybe I can raid the in-law's freezer. They should still have some... Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcimund 0 #14 August 19, 2002 QuoteNice to know there are guys out ther capable of cooking something other than a microwave dinner! I cook big dinners at least a couple or three times per week. My boyfriend and I have dinner parties at least two or three times per month. Today I spent five hours smoking chickens in sugar maple and grave vine smoke for us and another couple (a baptist preacher and his wife.) A few weeks ago I bbq'd (real bbq -- not grilled!) ten pounds of wild boar spare ribs for a big summer picnic. I'd rather spend an evening cooking up something innovative and original than just about anything else. Sometimes it's elegant, sometimes primal. But it's always fresh, honest food made from ingredients. You won't find any canned, boxed, or frozen food substitutes in our house. Sometimes it's a challenge to find enough people to eat it all, but nobody we invite ever complains and nobody who's been here once refuses a second invite!

whatme 0 #15 August 19, 2002 I don't believe it men can actually cook. We finally find out the truth about them (or at least some of them). Also where can I buy some bambi and how do I cook it. I have always wanted to try it. Paulette Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch 0 #18 August 19, 2002 Hey Clay. The South Africans take a slightly different approach. If you ever get down South I will treat you to a springbok potjie. Essentially a well hung haunch of springbok cooked in a cast iron pot over an open fire for a period of hours until the meat falls off the bone and fragments. A very social meal.

freeflir29 0 #19 August 19, 2002 Quotespringbok potjie I've never tried Springbok before but I imagine it's not TOO deifferen't than other big game animals. Certainly sounds tasty. I have to say, one of the best big game meals I have ever tasted was Moutain Lion. It was just steaks fried in a pan with some onions. I had never eaten cat before (Discounting Chinese restaurants of course) so I had NO idea what it was going to taste like. Tatses something like lamb or pork. Very good actually. What is hunting like in South Africa? Here in the states I just go down to the hardware store in Montana and pay about $40 for my "Sportsmen's" license. That covers Fishing, deer, black bear, elk, and upland game birds. Then you just pile in the truck and drive up to the hills. See animal....shoot animal.....tag and drag.......process and enjoy.

Clay I don't hunt...I just cook. I have always believed that if you shoot one of mother natures creatures with a copper jacket she just might decide to shoot you with a planet. That said the hunting around here is good. If you decided to do the African tour thing I can put you in touch with the boys and gals that do hunt.
