Very lax, but better than nothing.

I am a loving and giving monarch…

Oh No! So sorry to read about your loss!

Ok confirmation I think on laying herself to death. The Dino eggs she laid have 3 yolks! I have never seen that before. I have been aiming for egg layers but I think I better dial it back with the next bunch.

It’s very lean. Lean enough to starve on it is the story we grew up with. But the steaks are good as is the roast. they are tasty just not mouth watering tender

We eat venison often. There is an art to cooking it and its a lot of practice. If you go longer than medium rare it dries out. Also marinating first in a little gin and then whatever else. Or maybe Magnolia deer are just tender.

Katharina Duck (F&W Runner) laid a couple of three-yolkers in late spring 2019, just before she started collecting eggs and went broody.

Deer is always extremely lean, in fact strips of fat or bacon need to be inserted before grilling deer or you only create new soles for your shoes. In German it is called »spicken« and Google could not translate it, but here is what it looks like:

That is the way with a lot of game animals.

Maybe it’s an acquire taste. Moose is almost entirely protein.

Having lived on wild animals or so much of my youth, and even 6-7 years after we were married I guess I like it.

I don’t think it will be as tender as a marbled beef. But I find grass feed beef to be tough too. I say feed them all the corn they can eat in the last 6-9 months.

Same as emu! Stew it or rare it.

I actually have heard of larding. Thanks for the german word for it! Despite my mother being full german she's refused to teach me any of it so I feel lost from my heritage. I wonder if like a roast bird you could wrap it in bacon and then cook. The bacon fat for added juiciness and the bacon itself for am amplified flavour.

And Ralphie, spelt flavour, pronouncer flaveerrr

Edited to add: actually depends who you ask. Hubs pronounces it flava
