Wild Venison Tartare | Hunter Gather Cook 

Went foraging with Nick in the woods where his treehouse was few years ago. Collected a two course meal and drunk nettle beer. Was awesome. He's a legend

DJ BBQ We used to use charcoal and fire ash to clean our teeth. I believe there was also coal soap. No idea what's up with some people.

DJ BBQ I would eat straight from Nick's hand, even if it were dirt under his nails.

Ty Sell And Ty wins the comment of the week. RAD!!!!!!! That's how you battle all the petty comments. Thank you, sir.

DJ BBQ haha well this is RU-vid where if you are simply playing with your cat people will call it animal abuse. People don't know what they are talking about. I actually wasn't aware of how clean charcoal is and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

DJ BBQ you are one too!!

DJ BBQ this is just amazing...

DJ BBQ Lads!

You're implying. We eat everything available. Iguana is so tasty when stewed in a coconut sauce. And grubs are sweet when roasted. Because Americans have food so readily available they have guilt about its use. If you had to survive off of what's locally available perhaps you would change your views on food because some cultures do not have the same supply of food, and cannot make the same choices based on guilt.

AnAverage Joe I think the operative phrase was "forced to hunt, and clean their own kill" afaik ranchers don't hunt

Yes, they do. Stop believing everything you see on TV and live a little. There's a season for produce. You can't totally survive off your own good if there's conditions that prevent it, like a drought or hurricane.

We're not poaching off our 100+ acre home, but my family doesn't like wasting any resource available either. They will take any opportunity to live free off the land as opposed to chartering a plane to fly to the nearest Walmart. They joke that we will never be hungry or without a home as long as we appreciate our lands.

Agreed

Fredrik Fossaa Touche. more than hoped. extra protein.

Jeremy Su Cheers!

VEVOAndi and all done in the woods!

woodandaluminum That would create a lot of negative comments on here, I guarantee it! Even though that would be really interesting, that would not be appreciated on this channel I think... :/

Not on this channel, on hunter gather cook! And why would it be negative.. that is part of consuming meat, which they do a lot at food tube.

woodandaluminum Oh yes on their channel that would be really interesting to watch! I said that because of all the negativity there is on this comment section, people are shocked for a bit of raw meat and "dirty" hands so I can't imagine the scandal showing an animal get killed would create. Even if that's totally hypocritical.

i guess you're right...

of course I did, ***** :) Those guys deliver quality

done deal:)

***** Its amazing must try!

Sneak 66 Maybe try it with really fresh meat, I don't know if a non-industrial freezer can keep meat perfectly fresh. Fresh enough for cooking, sure, but for raw eating maybe not.

Mr Mürk Agreed, I would personally prefer it much finer. To each their own I suppose.

Mr Mürk What is it like? I can't even imagine that iam eating raw meat and raw egg.

alda pech Once you get past the mental block(which I had as well), it tastes absolutely amazing! I suggest try medium-rare beef and not thoroughly fried eggs first to see that they are not as bad as your brain tells you!

I have no problem with rare(is it the most "raw") it is diferent in my country. But tartare i don't know my friend liked it before he had "tasemnice" you know that worm that lives in you body. sorry for my bad english

Tartare is fantastic. Fresh meat is critical, and as in the video it is how you treat it that sets it apart from 'raw' meat, either through smoking or prior tenderising (which breaks down sinew - ie that chewy feeling you get with meat at times), to just chew into a raw lump of beef would defeat the purpose. The key is the preparation. Like the guys did in the video its how you accompany it too, sharp flavours work for me. I think Mr Murk has hit it on the head for many trying Tartare for the first time it is a mental block, people convince themselves they don't like it before they try it. Alda I would say it can't hurt you to try it at some point, it very well might not be for you - but it could be on the flip side of that the flavour sensation that you've yet to experience. That is the joy of food - exploration.

Those haters expect well done tartare and electronic factory style hygiene when those wonderful cooks are in the wild.

Absolutely. Going from full-scratch; it's respectable, the knowledge they have.

Aethereal Angel yeh, sure, but I'm not the case, I live in the country side in Italy and regarding the food I am not squeamish at all. I just say that fresh meat, raw egg and smoke it's not a recipe.

Salvatore Pellitteri It's a great recipe. The ground ivy and the three cornered leek are inspired herbs to use with this.

Aethereal Angel Thanks chap!

yes! because it look delicious !

Taialth It' is OK, if you eat tartare made of beef with high healthcare standards, but I'm not really sure about freshly hunted deer

Taialth We get quality meat in third world countries too...

Taialth If you like tartare, go to Poland.

Taialth I don't mind that it's raw meat, for me it's that it's raw game meat. I don't know how it is in the U.S. or wherever you are, but here every hunted animal has to be inspected to make sure it doesn't have parasites in the meat. And even then it his highly recommended to not eat it raw. So basically when I grew up, I was told many times to not eat raw venison, ever.

Taialth I live in a so called "3º world" country and we export meat to europe, dude. Our meat is really good.

Joshlin100 Yes! that is so going on the menu description. Meat. Jar.Egg. wild Stuff. not wild stuff. Done.

Uh no, it's not that simple. Eating cooked food is not risk free, but the risks are higher with raw foods. If the person in question is in a high risk group, i.e. a child, elderly, pregnant, or immune compromised, eating raw meat and eggs is a bad idea. Even if you're not in one of those groups, freshness alone will not determine how risky eating a particular egg or piece of meat raw is. Other factors like how the animal was raised and processed, what pathogen vectors it came into contact with, what geographical region the animal was raised in, and what species it is can have more effect on the risks associated with eating it than freshness. The risks of eating raw meat jump dramatically when we're talking about wild game. Game carries a much higher load of parasites and bacteria. Some species from some areas are reasonably safe to consume after following the appropriate freezing protocol, but others are never safe to consume raw or undercooked. For example, in North America the rate of trichinosis in bears is high enough you should assume all bear meat is infected. Further, in northerly regions where the hunting is good, the species of trich is resistant to freezing, so cooking is NOT optional. Eating game raw based solely on how fresh it is is a great way to make yourself or others extremely ill or possibly dead.

+arabdressage1 True, people must be careful.

Tartare isn't cooked, what is confusing about that?

Interesting. I just read about Tartarte. I had not idea that there were red-meat dishes which could be eaten raw.

Ajay Solleti To be exact it's not that good to eat wite meet raw. You shouldent do this with chicken allthough you can do it with pork.

Ajay Solleti you can eat pigeon and rabbit raw too!

Et le boeuf tartare? Ou les sushis? Quid du saucisson et du jambon de pays?

Petite Nols Pour les doigts, c'était une boutade ;) Mais manger une venaison crue, j'aurai vraiment peur d'attraper quelque chose. Je ne doute pas du tout que gustativement, cette façon de faire est une tuerie, mais le gibier cru, je ne pense pas que ce soit raisonnable. A moins que la viande ait été, au préalable, congelée, afin de détruire toute bactérie susceptible de nuire à la santé.... comme je le fais pour le poisson de mes sushis :)

Hard to explain. Do you know the taste of wild boar? It's quite similar.

That's y it's called a Wild Venison Tartar

TheGameSaviour ofcourse, it's tartare!

TheGameSaviour like mr.bean, if you remember ;)

Exactly and raw egg

TheGameSaviour It's fine if it's freshly hunted, which it is.

***** Indeed ! Love that vid by the way :)

***** Cheers lad, we'll have to get you down soon!
