I owe a lot of thanks to friends who have provided fresh game for my family over the years. There really is no substitute for the taste and quality of fresh, unprocessed, naturally lean meat. I’ve been told that out west they’ve even taken to raising deer on large ranges both to protect them from diseases like they would cattle and to keep them off the highways.
When it’s time to transform the venison into a stew I select stainless steel stock pots in order to protect the integrity of the taste. Regardless of the stew base I know whatever goes into the pot will taste like what went into the pot.
