Steak tartare FTW but needs to be very good quality meat.Horse steak is also delicious but due to it having a richer more game-like taste needs to be medium rare instead of rare.

I'd like to try horse at some pointMost extreme I've ever cooked is venison, that was very tasty in a pie with duck and pheasant.

It's an acquired taste. I think you would like it though.It is very gamey and I hate it so you are bound to think it's splendid.

Bob.Do you ever find when you are eating horse meat, you get half way through your meal and think... 'You know, I'm not as hungry as I thought I was?'

It is fantastic - quite rich though. You can get it here in some French restaurants.I ate it in Edinburgh a couple of months ago. The restaurant had had death threats from animal rights mentalists according to the local paper. Ridiculous.

Very easy to get venison wrong and too dry, isn't it?I like it 50/50 with beef in a red wine/thyme/carrot stew.

Venison Wellington is great. Needs to have very thin pastry so the meat stays rare.(, Thu 30 Sep 2010, 11:55, Reply)
Mine dried a littleBut I cooked it in the oven on low with loads of moisture from onions and a herby reduction, it helped it out quite a bit.

In a stew or a pie I think it's magnificentBut we had it instead of Turkey last christmas, served with venison sausages alongside it. Very tasty, but just too damn rich.

A little lighter than pigeon & not as deep as pheasant. It needs cooking for only a short amount of time to stop it from drying out so I tend to braise it.I have a recipe for braising game in beer, honey & thyme - delicious. Add some creme fraiche to the sauce just before serving. Serve with savoy cabbage and roast king edwards or with celeriac mash.

I have a plan for a small civilised sunday lunch in November while the gf is away - I will gaz you.This won't be on the scale of the supper club I was planning as I don't think our oven would cope with cooking for more than 6.

On the list of things I've only ever eaten onceYou've got Celeriac, Rabbit & Asparagus that I'd definitely eat again.
Then you've got Foie Gras and Blue Stilton which you can fuck right off with.

That rather depends on me being in London during the weekwhich I rarely, if ever, am. I might wander down on the saturday after the bash, I'm sure I can deal with cunty tourists on a short term basis.
