I was a butcher for a long time and cut wild game as well. I dont know how game shops work in England, but deer plants here, most people eat the backstraps round legs and tenderlion and basically throw the other meat away. what a shame. so the butchers are force to deal with the left over parts, many neck, shoulders, shanks from legs, and heads. Organ meat is normally left on the ground for the coyotes and buzzards to eat. Go into the shop, and tell the butcher you are training to be a chef or be honest with him and tell him you struggling and need the meat, ask for all shanks, and other meat they consider trash (remember they pay people to come get the waste, the less waste they less they pay out, so you doing them a favor. if they tell you that or not.) if you have a cute girl, they be glad to help her out even more.
Skanks boiled down for 12 hours- 24 hours, in 4 gallon pot, adding 3 fills of water during cooking. make a brunswick stew out of it. the meat is tough, but oce cooked this way is is melting in your mouth really at 8-9 hours.
trimmings made into sausage patties, just add a seasoning mix, like for chicken, pork rub, etc.
Necks boiled down the same as shank meats
the head, tongue is cooked the same way as sheeps head, and the cheek meat is wonderful, if not tastier than tenderlion 'filet migon'.
but if you want free meat ask local hunters who are not going to eat all the parts. you be surprised how fast you can fill your freezer.
ask local hunters to save liver and heart as well for you if it isnt expoloded. remove bluish covering memebrane from liverbefore cooking, and the little gall sack. sear liver very fast add onions, celery, and red wine to deglaze pan then add cream of mushroom soup, add as a topping to the liver slices.
the heat is sliced or diced and cooked really fast with butter olive oil and red wine, add to a rice mix or a row-so-toe, that is spicy like spanish rice or tomatoe and parmessan cheese rosito.
ex-New York City Butcher tip for more wild game eat.
those who want to tan hides, do bone works, make tallow for crafts, deer toes for dogs etc. you really are helping the butchers, if you come get them, unless they are contracted out by french prefume people, since deer fat is highly prized for exspeive prefumes, and leather for NIKE shoes. But any classes in England needing hides and bones, the butcher game shop is a great place to get loads of this stuff.
