You are wise to soak the meat unless you know where it was feeding. they love to huddle in cedar groves and swamp areas in cold weather--warmth, feed, and water. This makes the meat taste awful or worse. Too bad we have to worry about disease or those bones and fat could go into a large pot with seasoning and veg to make an excellent stock for later.<br />Jelaine May 11, 2012Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-46541550285220837422010-12-31T15:11:47.478-05:002010-12-31T15:11:47.478-05:00I have found that if you marinate any cut of venis...I have found that if you marinate any cut of venison over night the taste is truly wonderful and you have a hard time knowing it was venison.

I still have been soaking it in buttermilk though, just because I wouldn't be able to stand it if I wasted it, so just in case, I am soaking it in the buttermilk, lol.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-25965220672446993162010-12-08T20:27:36.057-05:002010-12-08T20:27:36.057-05:00Hi Becky, I found your blog and enjoy the reading....Hi Becky, I found your blog and enjoy the reading. I would like to comment on your venison post, I have found out that from my experience with venison, that if you take the meat off of the bone, and remove the fat, you will not have that gamey taste at all. I never soak mine in BM or vinegar.Bob Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360318444121645891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-30192282344555616412010-11-21T14:39:56.752-05:002010-11-21T14:39:56.752-05:00By the way, we had a package of backstrap and the ...By the way, we had a package of backstrap and the little tenderlions for supper last night. I soaked them in buttermilk for a couple hours, then just brushed them with apple cider vinegar and the sprinkled with barbeque spice and baked them. IT WAS SO GOOD!! No gamey taste at all. I am quite pleased.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-54523246035711946192010-11-20T19:32:24.934-05:002010-11-20T19:32:24.934-05:00Excellent Becky!
