I did have a bad experience in China once, but they were very much fresh and raw and I wouldn't suggest that method.

Roger. Really, I'm up for trying to utilize more parts of game at least once. Don't like liver, i do like heart, and want to give the oysters a chance.
Have you ever made liver pate? It's awesome, at least from my perspective. I eat it with pork rinds, but try not to pound too much down as it's incredibly high in calories and fat.
I would also like to try kidney, but first I would have to figure out what it looks like, where it is and what to do with it.

All part of the guts, coyote's and bird's gotta eat too! :chuckle:
Ya that :tup: I don't eat anything from inside of critters, never have really. I know a lot of cats that eat liver, heart, tongue.... sure, I can see that but not those other "things" of which you speaketh of... that's just nasty. :chuckle:
Post by: Stein on October 26, 2020, 01:03:50 PM
My dad and his gang eat them. Not for me though. I save the hearts and eat them in a variety of ways. Used to eat liver until one fateful day in Northern WI...... Had neighbors who leased and hunted the farm next to my property in MO who would scavenge our gut piles for them. I thought that was a little odd. My dad has told me about the Hmongs (sp?) that would follow drag paths in the snow back to gut piles and raid them. To each his own.
I've thought about that, many guys don't save the heart and if it's from a fresh kill I would gladly take it.

So I think they are pretty awesome when treated right.
First it helps to partially freeze the testicles. Throw in the freezer for about 20-30 min prior to handling.
Remove the outer membrane. Then slice into rounds, if it starts to become hard to handle throw back in the freezer. (it reminds me of fat that wants to liquify because of the heat of your hand).
After its firm and cut into rounds dread in egg wash and panko. Or egg wash and flour/corn meal dredge if you're going for something more southern.
Then fry at 350 for a few min.

It has to be prepared and cooked right, probably the most demanding preparation of all meat. There is really only one right way to do it.

I've eaten kidney at a few really nice restaurants. I wasn't a fan. I figured I'm humble enough to know I'm not as good of a cook as they are. So it wasn't a matter of technique. Just not a fan.

Yes. Not nearly as good as liver or heart, but not terrible.
Fry in dredge in flour, fry in butter at camp the night of the harvest. Most guys will gag, but they eat with their brains and not with their tongues.

Tongue is awesome, better than heart in my book. Elk have a big enough tongue to make it worthwhile, deer not so much.Saved the tongue this year from a cow elk, need to try and cook it one of these days. If you have a link to how to prepare please share.

I'm having a bull butchered in January, his balls would be heck of a meal for someone not me.
Could probably get a few nut steaks out of them!

I know I like Chicken gizzards though, so rolled in flour and deep fryed if similar maybe...
There is a bar in town that has or had CHicken GIzzards and as a kid that was a main road staple, as in something to munch on, like Jo-Joe's while driving.

I like deep fried Chicken Gizzards, that is about as close to "looking Like Testicles" I will ever put near my mouth. :yike:yeah gizzards I like. LOL.
Post by: csaaphill on November 09, 2020, 12:37:45 AM
Pickled Pigs feet no, Tripe oh hell to the no... Brains no.
But yeah I like Deer Live and Elk Liver, one of the first things I eat after a kill.
Post by: Geoduck Duck Goose on November 12, 2020, 06:22:27 PM
Chopped, the show on food network had a contest with them a while back. Not sure if I could stomach that or not. I guess they have some kind of a lining or whatever it is I am not able to think of right now that you got to get rid of???

Heck yeah, when I was a kid down in South Alabama, my dad and I used to stop by one of them old-timey gas stations that served chicken gizzards. Used to get a big old box of them and just dip in ketchup while driving around. Those were some good days.

Shot a boar bear during elk hunt. Cut the nuts out and put them aside. Couldn’t talk the hunting partners into trying to eat them! The whiskey jacks gottem instead. Anyone ever read a clinical explanation on what nuts are? Whew, they lawd I’ve got a strong stomach but after reading that I’m gonna wait and have some prepared by someone that knows what they’re doing.
I'd suggest preparing Bear Ball Sashimi !

Balls procured! Well, kind of. Hunt Wa member who's a good buddy smacked a lil buck and is working on recovery now. I of course said save the nuts!
Could be a new Thanksgiving tradition :tup: :chuckle:
