I've heard of moose being talked down because it has a musk or fragrance to it, but that's been more in the vein of like goat or horse meat. Like cat food screams undue spoilage.

I get the same feeling towards Kangaroo meat. Smells awful, looks awful if it doesn't have every single last bit of fat removed, reminds me of my dogs food.

In America, Jelly and Jam are not the same thing (though they are similar). http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/08/difference-between-jam-jelly-compote-conserve-apple-butter-preserves-types.html

Jelly is basically transparent and totally smooth, jam has some fibers and seeds maybe, preserves is like whole fruit, and marmalade has rind. They're not the same thing at all.

Wasabi the J posted:I'd wonder if it was stored properly after killing and stripping. Yeah, it was sort of part of why the whole thing was funny. He immediately stored it in the freezer at work and the health inspector showed up that day. I mean, it's Canada, but it's still a bit iffy to have moose meat laying around the freezers. It's just a little strong for me, personally, but I'm not much of a meat eater to begin with, so...

I know food photography does not equal real food but I'm imagining a crazed wide eyed photographer yelling at his staff "MORE, MORE, MORE JAM!" while cackling like a maniac.

Kangaroo can have a smell and taste that I've heard described as "gamey", but it's really inconsistent. Sometimes it's not present at all and sometimes it's really strong, mostly it's somewhere in between.

Moose smells terrible when you're cleaning the animal, but the meat itself is pretty darn good. I wouldn't eat a rare steak made of it, but it's great for jerky, stews, roasts, etc. Bear is similar but much, much fattier.

These all sound like animals that should be turned in jerky. Game meat jerky is the best.

I used to work for a guy that was an avid hunter, and he would go hunting everything he could get a tag for, including bear. As part of my yearly bonus, he would give me a bunch of elk, deer, salmon, and bear meat or whatever it was he caught. I loved the elk, salmon, and deer, but the bear one year was amazingly good. When I spoke to my boss about it, he said it had been pigging out on berries and whatnot. That explained why the meat had a slight berry undertaste to it. It really was good. He gave me the same thing the next year, but the bear meat wasn't as good. I asked my boss if this bear was found like the other one, and he told me that this time he caught the bear in a swampy area and it had probably been eating things like frogs,fish, and various plants out there. Overall, I preferred the bear that ate the berries. It was some of the best game I ever had. I HATED that job, but I do miss getting all that free game for my freezer. It was so nice to get enough to fill my freezer for a few months for free

I mentioned way back I would eat cricket protein if it was cheaper. Sadly I didn't find it cheap, but I tried this little bar today, $3.50 though, which is outrageous. It was actually pretty tasty. It had a slight metallic/acidic aftertaste that was very similar to the taste of ants. (my cousin and I ate ants when I was like 8 for some reason and I'll never forget that taste) Overall pretty good though and I would eat them all the time if they were $1 instead of $3.50...

I worked at a butcher shop once and people brought whole deer in all the time for us to process. Walking into the cooler and seeing a mountain of disemboweled deer, looking like a wall from a level of Doom? gently caress that, I don't eat deer.

My dad inadvertently poached a bear once, so we ended up with a lot of bear meat. I was little but my memory of the taste is like "strong beef and bad fish" and other people's memories concur that it was pretty foul. We were really poor at the time so we ate most of it anyway. Or at least tried to. The neighbor's guard dog got a lot of leftovers that nobody could bring themselves to eat again.

I have a bear roast in my freezer and I am searching for the perfect recipe. I now am really hoping that it was a meadows-and-berries type. It came from the bear my grandpa got two years ago but I can't ask him because he died (not from being mauled by the bear)

Why would you work at a butcher shop if you're not comfortable with looking at unprocessed raw meat

Dienes posted:Weird. I hate that formic aftertaste from ants, but never got that from cooked whole crickets. Wonder how they process them for cricket powder. As far as I can tell they just grind up whole dried crickets to make cricket flour - it's entirely possible the aftertaste was just in my head too, knowing how kooky brains can be.
