Which meat do you eat most often?

[Barriehie]

The major reasons are that it's hard to find, very expensive, and neither my wife or son like it. So, when I do make it, it's just for me. (Otherwise, I'd like it more often!) The taste of venison can also vary, btw. Mountain deer that eat woody browse and seasonal forbs and mast have a much "gamier" taste than farmland deer, which have lived on corn and soybeans for months going into hunting season. To remove "gaminess" for those who don't like it, marinating in pickle juice helps quite a bit.

Ditto the pickle juice.

That’s how it was when we raised hogs when I was a kid - my grandad would always tell my dad to turn the hogs out (we always raised two at a time) and let them feed on the mast, to “give ‘em a good hard flavor!” - but my dad never liked that gamier taste, so they ate scraps from the table and a lot of corn shortly before slaughter.
