I have a story about some gamey venison, white tail deer. In Wisconsin there are a lot of hunters for deer. They wreak havoc on the cars on the road in the fall, like right now, running into cars, in front of cars, between cars, and they eat our gardens.
Anyways, I grew up in a family of hunters, and we gals helped with the butchering and freezing. We ate a lot of it.
So back when I was dating a guy (not a hunter), our friend Larry (a hunter) made venison on skewers over a campfire, but the atmosphere, a beautiful fall night, light wind, beautiful fire, eating it hot off the fire, we really didn't notice the gaminess as much as usual.
On another occasion (beer was involved) Larry got all full of himself and while his wife was gone and he made a venison stew. Larry was not a cook and rarely cooked. Now this gamey deer was so gamey he had to season it really highly. He and my guy tried to eat it and it wasn't edible. They thought they'd bring me a quart of it to burn out my gut as a joke. Well, it was very spicy, so I added a little sour cream and the spiciness wasn't nearly as bad, I rather loved it. So much for the little joke, it was good.
They couldn't believe it.
