Who soaks game meat in milk?

[wetcoaster]

A few guys I know suggest this as a way to make game meat mild. I am trying it tonight as I am having someone over that isn't sure they like game meat and I am trying to convert them. Best to introduce them slowly.

Does anyone else use milk soaking out there?

Never heard of that before, I have been told Orange juice to get rid of the gamy taste, If I wanted rid of any gamy taste, I'd eat beef!!! I've eaten plenty of game, still waiting for my first piece that tastes bad!!!

Non the less, good luck with your guest, what's cookin???

Steeleco,

Whats for dinner? Well let me tell ya,

Venison chops from the doe I shot this year, I soaked them in milk? we shall see, and rubbed them with olive oil garlic and lemon pepper and onto the grill served with double baked potatoes, green beans and a spinach salad. Who wants to come over?

I DO!Better be careful with invitations like that, or you won't have any of that doe left.

lemon juice will take away some of the game taste. really anything citrus will and most types of salad dressings cause of the vinegar. also if your worried about the toughness i've heard that baking soda works wonders. be carefull though it can also add taste that you don't want if you use too much. but my favorite way to soak the meat is in a frying pan with about a 1/8 th deep of crown royal simmered in with lots of garlic, onions and fresh cracked pepper.

Stinky old buck and a buddy marinaded his steak in French Dressing , took the strong taste right away.

I havent ever soaked game meat in anything. Ive never had any bad tasting meat, not even a rutted up stinky ol' muley and thats where most of the game meat I eat comes from. People are always talking about rutted up bucks tasting bad, i've never found that...some are a little tougher but still very edible!
