On 11/11/11, we had a wild game cook off to determine the best tasting meat. We had goose, duck, bear, Rocky Mountain elk, Roosevelt elk, moose, whitetail, blacktail, mule deer, antelope, bison, cougar, nutria, and various beef thrown in for good measure.
All meat was ground, seasoned, and cooked the same. Four women served slider burgers to a group of maybe 20 blind taste testers, who then ranked each game without knowing what it was. The top 3 shocked everyone.
1. Nutria
2. Cougar
3. Antelope
Yes, cougar is delicious. I've only had a few meals from two cats, but I recall it tasting like a 150-pound pheasant.
