Worst Meat you've ever eaten

[uglyelk]

1. Meat cooked by some really old relatives.

Please don't put that burnt dry crap on my plate!

2. Loon...tasted like fish rolled in mud

3. Mutton

[greylynx]

Muk Tuk at a friends place out of Tuktoyuktuk. Some of the guys took this delicacy back home to Inuvik to savour. It is basically rancid whale fat.


The waterfowl that they preserve with the Muk Tuk is also pretty ripe.

OOlikan fish from the west coast has quite a fish taste to it. The Haida guys don't seem to mind it.

I'm a garbage guts not much I dont like but I guess sandhill crane and burbot rates right up there. On a side note I've noticed in my life that most of the time when somebody has bad tasting meat its either been treated like sh!t or its a big old rutted bull, buck, or boar.

Oh yea any meat someone is giving away, why do people insist on giving away the crap. So unless it is a single person who can't really use all the meat If I hear the phrase hey I got some moose, want some My warning lights go off.

I always share the spoils of my hunting/fishing trips with friends and family, always choice cuts. The iffy cuts go to sausage and jerky.

Back around 88 or so I shot a 3x3 mulie,full rut.Proud as a peacock as it was my first.Drug that sucker across the field to the nieghbors,wrestled it in my pickup,I was 16 that year,all by myself.I took it home and showed the old man,"whatdya shoot that stinkin thing for?"Stunk and tasted so bad he went back to the butcher to be made into sausage even the farm dogs didnt wanna eat,and there was usually nothin safe from them!!

Yes me too, if it is too bad, then I have a dog breeder friend that will take it.

I give her all but the nastiest of the butchering scraps too.

Some pretty good ones so far, but still, none compare to what I experienced as a relatively hairless, 20 year old, in a medium security penitentiary.

Black Cod

[dennisb]

The absolute worst was a Trophy Antelope i shot many years ago near Rolling Hills. I shot this buck opening morning at around 11am. This poor guy im guessing had not stopped running since legal shooting time. I roasted it, pressure cooked it, smoked it...you name it, even my dog would not eat it. Funny thing was I gave my boss a roast telling him that Antelope was awsome to eat.....He never asked for wild meat after that.

You know it is bad when!

My cat wouldn't eat the black cod.

I am surprized how many sheep and antelope posts there are... I thought I read post on here that sheep were one of the best eating(never tried it). I had antelope and it was very good on the BBQ...

The worst thing I ever ate and the reason to this day my wife wont eat venison is when I first started hunting and I thought I would cook up some venison ribs. I did not clean them up very well and i even thought I was going to die right on the spot....lol

When I was working in Japan I tried turtle liver. I enjoy eating beef & moose liver & most liver sausages but this stuff was terrible. I didn't even swalow it. It was so strong that I could still taste it 3 days later.

[Ryry4]

Mule Deer far and away. The billy goat I shot in B.C. a couple years ago is a distant second, I might as well have been eating my boots instead of a back strap.

[reelhooker]

I was on a three week canoe trip where everything was caned or dehydrated. Coming apon a weird little native hunting party we were offered fried slices of beaver tail. I am sick thinking about it now. And I am x2 on the eataterrian- I consume and find myself at the top of the food chain.
for me anything goes, but beaver tail only once.

x2, I was expecting the worst and it turned out to be the best wild game I've eaten.

Worst....sandhill crane.

[honda450]

For me beaver. Had some good and some bad.

We got some farm raised elk one year, the farmer was selling them for $100/head. . .they had them penned up and had been shooting all day. I tried cooking the hamburger and it smelled so bad I damn near hurled on the spot, the taste was even worse! The only thing we could use it for was lasagna but I had to mix it with moose and beef to make it tolerable. Every other elk I've ever had has been awesome.
My aunt has a bison farm and she brought a bison roast for dinner at my grandma's once. . .they cooked it up, and normally my grandma and aunts are great cooks, HOWEVER, I think I would rather have eaten my leather camp slippers! There was no amount of gravy to cover that taste. They had almost 2/3 of the platter left and they fed it to the dog. . .the dog picked it up, ran away and burried it.
I've also had bbq alligator, I think a tire tube would have been softer. . .

Always sound advise, when in doubt, cook it in bacon. You could put bacon on a bumper and it would taste good!

LOL at the analogies!

In a lifetime of eating wild meat the only wild meat I have ever eaten that was bad was back in 91. I shot what has turned out to be my biggest whitetail to date. The deer was taken on the second last day of November. What horrid meat. No matter what we tried it was just bad. Unfortunately it was all fed to the dog,, my Chesapeake didn't mind it at all. The worst part of it is is that it ruined my wife's taste for deer meat. She still loves all other wild meats but she just can not like deer meat Mule or whitey she has the taste in her mouth and its just stuck there..

carriboo in yellowknife, was up there doing some reno. work for National Defence in january a few years back. one of the painters shot a carriboo and gave us a 1/4. We had it cooked, fried, bbq'd, boiled,broiled you name it nope never again. Oh the horror! excuse me I have to go brush my teeth I think Im about to chuck just by memory

jiggs dinner.....

[Mountain Guy]

Wilson snipe,pigeon and a ''garlic infused'' w.t. buck.
Got him last day of the season bout' 7 years ago and can still smell him..
It was like the meat was infused with garlic? Don't get me wrong... I like garlic, but I prefer if I add the garlic, not the natural type.
Would gag a maggot I'm sure....

Had an Italian buddy who gladly took it for his homemade sausage....

Never did try his sausage.......

[Walleyes]

Never did try his sausage.......

Well I am glad to hear that

Sorry couldn't resist..

[super7mag]

fire cooked pig tongue..... What were we thinkin? 20 some odd years ago (don't want to date myself) we were butchering hogs on the farm. We had a big 45 gal drum, that we would fill with water and boil over an open fire, after piggy was well bled out we would dip it in the water and pull it out scrape down the hair, and repeat until it is cleaned up. Well we got bored so my buddy and I decided to cut the tongue out of a pig after it had been dipped after all it's all boiled clean. (insert Dr. Evil RRRIGHT!) we cut it out put it on a willow stick and cooked it over the fire, the ol'man was grinning the whole time, we cut it in half and each took a bite, yuk yuk yuk it still makes me gag thinking about it. It tasted like a sponge dipped in vomit and wrapped in 100 grit emery cloth.

[albertafarmboy1983]

My buddy shot a moose in the Yukon about 5 yrs ago I am pritty sure moss would taste almost identical
All the alberta moose I have ate have been great thought diffent food sources I guess.

As for antelope I have ate some great ones but have also ate some pritty gross ones to probably quite simmular to nawing on a sage brush. If you soak the meat in buttermilk overnight before cooking it makes a huge difference.
