Hi all, would appreciate if you'd share your favourite venison/burger recipes with me! Got 2 freezers full of venison and ordered an old fashioned meat minced yesterday. Especially interested in what ppl use for fat content and what ratio? Trust me, all replies will be appreciated :)

I get them made for HWMBLT by a friend. The friend's father-in-law is a butcher, and he saves the fat from Popeseye steak for the venison burgers. He uses the shoulder of the venison for the burgers/ square sliced sausage (he's got a tin to make Lorne sausage) and he adds rusk and the seasoning mixture from this fellow,

Tongmaster is only about four or five miles away from us, so a bit local. He does sell by mail though, and his stuff is good. Even his vegetarian mix is good :)

No, total waste of time, I think you should pack it up and dispose of it.

I'll PM you the address to send it to for disposal :)

(sorry, can't help with the recipes, I never have enough venison to turn into burgers or sausage).

When I do food using minced wild meat, I mix it with finely minced fatty bacon or pancetta.

Another way I do ( makes it cheaper too as wild meat is crazy expensive here) is to mix the ground ‘wild’ with ground fatty pork. About 1/3 pork.

For sausages I use pork fat I have cut off and saved ( freezer) from when I buy pork when making casseroles with pork meat.

I do appreciate your kind offer, however, postage to the Welsh countryside is.prohibitive. HOW about i let you know when i get deer of my pal ( (35 -.40 quid.per carcass) and you meet me in Cumbria and I just let you have one of them? I.always get a minimum of two???
Would that be something of interest to you? I will endeavour this coming year to do my firearms license and supply should get better then!

It's just ammonium carbonate, and it works well in biscuits and small cakes.

If you roast it, the ground up antler, then it used to be used to settle diarrhoea.
If you soak the hartshorn in water to make a liquor, then it's a fairly decent detergent too.

It is an important raising agent in traditional Scandinavian cooking. Still used widely today.

Sprcially now during the Lucia and Christmas celebrations!

I would not put it is any Venison meat based food though!
:)

I guess it is the Ammonia that cleans?

San Francisco sourdough yeast is a modern recognized species of Saccharomyces.
My great grandfather used it during the Klondike gold rush days in the Yukon Territory.
We still have many of the gold nuggets. No sign ever of cooked antlers. Thin soup.
Nobody allowed up the Chilcoot Trail without enough staple food for a YEAR on their backs.

The ammonia (NH3+) raises the pH into alkaline conditions.
This makes a lot of very stubborn molecules water-soluble so that they can be flushed away.

That's a very kind offer :)

I am travelling up the Northumberland coast next year though if that would be more convenient :)

For all the hundreds of thousands (yes) of deer harvested across North America every year, nobody mentions Cabela's.
Window-shop their catalog for every possible piece of butcher's equipment that you could ever need.
I buy the Hi Mountain cures and seasonings plus there are a thousand recipes on the 'net.

Buy a pound of beef mince with a measured fat content.
Mix up a little seasoning. Try it. Try another.
I found one Hi Mountain spice mix that is absolutely terrible. Up to you this winter.

Do they ship outside of Continental America?

Yes they do.
Remember though that all electrics are for 120V, but you can just get a transformer in worst case.
Lots of useful outdoor stuff they have, plus useful clothes too.
