Deer organ meat . . . Anyone here eat the organ meat from deer on a regular basis? Been wanting to save more of the deer on the next hunting trip but not sure how to fix it.

Re: Deer organ meat . . . Tongue, heart, liver and kidneys are all good. Don't know about the other "innards" though...

Re: Deer organ meat . . . stay away from brains. too many wierd things reside in animal brains. prions and viruses and such. for veal, the hypothalmus, thyroid, and other endocrine glands are good eating, big in French cuisine. Called "sweetbreads" here sometimes. Dont know about dear. the recipe generally goes: boil, peel membrane, then stew or braise with liquids.

Re: Deer organ meat . . . I've sold some calves to Orientals who eat the whole thing. I mean they leave the feet, the skin, and the grass that was undigested in the rumen. They eat all the stomachs, intestines, etc. in soups and stews. I'm assuming a deer would be the same, though their digestive systems are quite different. Sorry, but I'm no where near that hungry yet, and hope not to become so.:stickyman

Re: Deer organ meat . . . yeah Mexicans eat menudo, which is tripe soup, little small intestine rings in it. I loathe the stuff. dont know if that's beef or pork though. Isnt "chitterlings' pig intestine? I have no problem with intestine as traditional sausage casing. Pig skin is pretty good dontcha think? Pork rind? Here is another Mexican thing that I do like, but a lot of people dont. Barbacoa. Sounds like barbcue and it is, except, its barbecued cow face. Or "Jowl" I think we call it in English. They roast it, shred it, use it in tacos. Tastes like any other roast beef. I hear those crazy Scotsmen stuff a lamb's belly with sausage and deep fry it. Crazy mofos! And they toss telephone poles for fun and wear skirts. Crazy! Talk about cultural diversity I can barely take it.

Re: Deer organ meat . . . As with most things .. if you didn't know what it was, you'd eat it without hesitation. My brother in law learned that the day I served him tongue. Said it was the best roast beef he'd ever tasted. He was right too.

I like tongue just fine. Hard to find here; much less so in Europe. The best I had was some Lengua de Ternera I had in a little restaurant that sits alongside Retiro Park in Madrid.

Tongue...Remove, clean, boil, skin, slice, add salt/pepper, consume with beer. Heart..Remove, cut longitudinally into 6, trim ext. & int. walls to solid meat, fry with garlic, salt, pepper, soya and consume with beer. Liver..Remove, cut into strips (remove any fibrous tissue), soak in milk, roll in bread crumbs/salt/pepper, fry in oil, consume with beer. If in doubt, consume beer and review post.

Re: Deer organ meat . . . Realistically, if one de-bones the carcass when butchering, there is a ton of meat/nutrition on the remaining bones. If times were tough, I don't think I would be throwing out as much as I do now when butchering. I would likely find some way to save that product and use it. Brains, balls and guts I stay away from.

Re: Deer organ meat . . . My general rule of thumb when it comes to eating any typr of meat: If it pumps, licks, thinks or filters, it does not get eaten. With that said, I am a muscle man all the way.

do you guys ever boil bones for stock, with deer? I am not a deer hunter so I only get venison from others.

I don't now, but if need be I certainly will let nothing go to waste.

Re: Deer organ meat . . . Hell no. I eat the backstrap and throw the rest away! ... actually, i never have (that i know) but i guess i'd be willing to try it if someone presented me with booze and organs (in that order)... ... I'll try anything drunk....i mean, once...

yeeaaaah. I should prolly update my Avatar. I alway go for the stupidest facial hair configuration i can when shaving off my winter coat. I was going with the asymetrical spiral thing this year. Totally awesome, if i say so myself. I pansied out on wearing it to work for a day. My cube mate says i probably dodged a drug test.:wink:

Re: Deer organ meat . . . I think maybe Bellveue likes beer:beer:.. good lord... you made me thirsty Deer are pretty lean. Can you even GET stock outta the bones? I've never tried any deer innards... I imagine the liver and heart would be alright... Indians used to eat the whole dang thing. of course I once knew of some Indians waaay up in the north country that used to drink Aquanet hairspray to get drunk... So I'm not so sure bout the indian way of doing things after that.

Re: Deer organ meat . . . Deer organ meat? The organs are otherwise known as GUTS. Guts are for the dogs. Tongue is a muscle that can be eaten but the guts are for the dogs. I�ll say it once more, the dogs have to eat and that�s what the guts are for. When you hang that deer by the back feet, then slit the belly, all that stuff that falls to the ground is "Deer Organ Meat" You know why it falls to the ground? So the dogs can eat.

I agree 100% scept for the Liver....my family has lived in these hills since 1850, never wasted the liver on the dogs . The old adobe where they hung deer is still here. Looking back ,everything around here lived a long time ....all my relatives aaaand the dogs. They consumed what they grew along with rabbit, quail,deer and chickens.....OH YEAH almost forgot plenty of red wine to. I remeber going out to the adobe as a child with my great uncle Fred to cut off a slab of deer meat, after a couple weeks it would get a little green, Fred would trim that off and feed to the dogs....looking at that moldy deer meat turned me off, so I wouldn't eat it......to this day, those that are still alive swear Freds deer meat was the best they ever ate.

This is exactly why people today are fat and sick, because they don't eat REAL food. Real, whole foods, with lots of it raw. Eat it like Mother Nature gave it to us, without processing or additives. Mama's food don't have labels and ingredient lists!!! :beer:

Re: Deer organ meat . . . Liver and kidneys from a healthy animal, should be perfectly safe and very tasty. Liver contains lots of iron, and tastes great when fried. The intestine (minus bowel) can be cleaned and used to make sausages, which can be smoked or hung out to dry for long term storage. I wouldn't go near the brains myself. Eyes don't do much for me, neither do the other various bits and pieces of the animal. The fat near the heart can be used however for frying things. The heart is probably edible, but it's not my thing if I have a choice in the matter, same with the tongue. It is possible to collect the blood from an animal when bleeding it to make things like black pudding or whatever, but you better be damn sure the animal is in peak health. Any organ with splotches, growths, or unusual dark/pale patches on it should be discarded as it indicates the animal is unhealthy internally. So, if you're hunting for an animal (and you have a choice), you want to take the one in peak fitness/health, leave the sickies and the slow for the predators as they may have something wrong with them, and natural selection will take care of that. Guts are good food for a dog, they will love it. You can also use it as bait to trap more animals, but they will be predators.
