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.

I said chicken, but my answer might have been different a few months ago. My husband had a bad gout attack around October, and since then, we’ve been limiting our intake of meat in general, but especially beef. We’ve been eating a combination of chicken, salmon, and vegetarian dishes instead.

With gout, it’s important to limit beef, deli meats, shrimp, pork, gravy, beer, and sugar. So we’ve been limiting the quantities of all of these.

Pickle juice yikes!!

Old family thing (same as pickle juice but more nuanced without dill pickle flavour add ons ):
A bit of wine or other vinegar and a few bay leaves works well.

I never heard of gout before I came to this part of the world....

seasonal forbs and mast

them feed on the mast

Interesting. Had to look up forbs and mast.

I like eating lamb, my family too, but to roast a lamb shoulder which takes about 5-6 hours, it has to be a cold day. So only 3-4 months I can do them here, Nov-Feb, otherwise the cost of running the A/C needs to be factored in.
