Wife refuses to eat elk meat

[Thebigbaby]

But this spaghetti with “beef” went down fine.

 

[belshawelk]

It’s not the elk.

 

[Thebigbaby]

Is that a sexual innuendo?

Save and hide a Styrofoam grocery store meat container. Then reuse as needed. its all in their heads.

Yep. Somebody point this man to honest-food.net.

Or mix 50/50 with store bought if she does the shopping. Then you can have plausible deniability.

My daughter has some pigs. She decided that one of them, named Jack, needed to go away. She couldn't find anyone to take Jack off her hands, so he somehow found his way to the butcher. She asked if she could store Jack in my freezer and I agreed as long as I could take some for myself. My wife was addiment that we will not be eating any part of Jack because she had an emotional attachment to him and was sadden by his sudden demise.

Funny thing is, it turns out, she can't tell the difference between store bought pork and Jack.

I have been hunting for over 50 years and have butchered many elk and deer in that time. I personally am not a fan of elk or deer as table fair.
With that said, My wife and I can smell wild meat no matter how it is cooked or processed even in sausage and such. She will eat a LITTLE but there is no fooling her. By the way, I like moose and antelope, wild bison Is to die for.

I never understood the issue of wild game smelling like wild game. I'm not criticizing you. Just pointing out that if you want it to smell like beef, buy beef. Ever get a whiff of store bought pork? Woof.

Wild game has a different smell/ flavor, as it should. You are what you eat, same goes for the animals we feed on. Embrace the fact that it has a distinct smell and flavor. That's what makes it special.

I did not say it stinks, It smells like Elk, deer, or whatever.
Try a sage hen...

My wife is the opposite, she says that she can't eat beef. We have to have an elk for the freezer every year. I am not going to argue. I love beef steak, but it has been several years since I had one.

So what you’re saying is, you wife don’t know Jack?

Looks like your dog has tapeworms.

 

[OntarioHunter]

You need to see a lawyer.

 

[JohnCushman]

You can find a new wife...

I think he said something about "Jack off" and "her hands"...? I dunno.

 

[Werty]

This doesn't end well!

 

[ismith]

Next time tell her it’s long pork.

 

[jarmour1]

Well use it in stuff like spaghetti stir fry, chili, and other heavily seasoned recipes. You can also add fat to ground meat beef or pork, I've also heard of people grinding in bacon as well. With my sister all we had to do is tell her it was beef and she liked it it was all in her head.

Maybe your next wife will like it. jk

Mrs. Fan loves antelope and Elk. Not a fan of venison. I'm on the hunt for white tail this year to see if it will work for her. She's not a fan of water fowl, so that's an issue.

My future daughter in law is the only one who questions some wild game She didn’t like rattlesnake. My buddy Richard handed her the headless snake beforehand and it was still moving a little. It kinda freaked her out when it wrapped around her arm. He probably shouldn’t have done thatI think her liking snake was a doomed effort after that.
