The 1 Thing You Learned- Cooking Wild Game

[Oregon Hunter]

Yes i definitely always let everyone know beforehand. Lol. They were very apprehensive to the bear at first but one by one everyone ate it and the overwhelming comment was "that doesn't taste like bear" and my comment was always "what does bear taste like?" The turkey was a well thought out recipe because I saw that as the biggest hurdle. Half the people who hunt turkey don't even like the taste of it. So the way I serve that to them rolled in cream cheese and jalapeño jelly is always a big hit.

I don't think people put much thought of food being this common ground to the understanding of our lifestyle but I'll tell you what it really is. I answer all questions about where the meat came from? How it was dispatched etc etc. It's a balancing act though. Cause if you're not a good cook you will lose them I promise. Lol.

You're on the money about serving them something that's prepared right. So many of our opinions are formed by one negative experience, usually with an inexperienced cook.
