My husband got his first deer (our first!) last season. When we had it processed, we got jerky (yummy!), steaks, tenderloins, and ground.
I loved the jerky. And the steaks and tenderloins are tasty, somewhat tough, but tasty. But the ground venison just makes me want to vomit. Every now and then I get a bite that just tastes as nasty as anything I've ever tasted. I can't even begin to describe it. Except that I would expect rotting flesh to taste like this. The irony is that it's not every bite, but sort of like something got mixed in. We did have the extra fat added to help it stick together.
My husband says he never tastes it. And to add to the confusion, I was pregnant and going through morning sickness when we first ate it. However, I still taste it and my son is now 4 months old. And since I don't have any problems with the other stuff (except my mental fear of getting a bite of the nasty in them), I think it's limited to the ground stuff.
Could it have been the fat added? Anybody else have this happen? What to do because I really like hunting and having a freezer full of meat for the winter, but it won't be ground if this is what it tastes like.
