Interesting. I don't think I've ever had marinated venison.

And yes, that includes wild-caught (hunted).

Well, there are many types of venison. Most people think of "deer-type"
meat, but that's not strictly true...

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionar...ary&va=venison

I have had warthog chops cooked on the grill - which were (IMHO), much,
much, better than pork chops any day - but you have to marinate them for
several hours (preferably overnight) or they're as tough as the
proverbial 'old boots'. And as for what to marinate it in - use a splosh
of Coca Cola (tm) instead of red wine - seriously. Makes it very tender.
I kid you not.

I agree with all you say about hunters. Especially the bison hunters
of Montana. Hunting a bison is about as much sport as killing a cow in
the pasture. Trophy hunting is sick. But you can hunt and release with
a CAMERA and enjoy the "trophy" forever in living color.

That might work for the deer, but my neighbors will be scandalized!

Too bad the twins are 19. When there were 4-5, I discovered them and
several other little neighborhood boys in the backyard having a
contest. Come to think of it, we had no deer in that yard....

However if the deer live in the right area they can be 'corn-fed" even
if wild. This does give a different taste to the meat. Domestic must
be even more different.

In the winter little boys can write their names in the snow. The next
day another group of little boys finds the names and they become pen

I don't understand exactly what kind of psychic damage people think
that seeing human genitalia is going to do to people. If some guy was
flashing his penis at her daughters in a provocative way, sure, but
just seeing another person urinating is a non-event. As far as simple
nudity goes, just ask nearly anyone who has ever been to a nude
beach. Even if a person's motives were originally lascivious, or at
least prurient, within a certain amount of time they become
habituated, just like guys from countries where women wear freakin'
bourkas get used to seeing women unveiled in jeans and t-shirts.
There is nothing characteristic enough about the genitals of either
sex or about the portions of female breasts covered by bikini tops
that makes one person's more an object of lust--appropriate or
inappropriate--than another's
If I've ever been uncomfortable about nakedness, it was certainly
never *others'* nudity, but my own, and for reasons that most folks
can relate too that have to do with appearance (am I too fat? how does
my skin look? stuff like that), rather than I'm worried that I'm being
looked on as an object of lust. Social mores about sexuality don't
cease to exist when the clothes get skimpier, and the Free Body
Culture (Germany) movement was anything but highly sexualized, and the
same goes for modern nudists worldwide these days.

It doesn't work for squirrels. I didn't pee in the back yard, but did
pee into a container and pour it around the tomato plants. It didn't
help.

I often include Coca - Cola in marinades, BBQ sauces and the like...I
baste ham with a mixture that includes Coca - Cola or Dr. Pepper.
Just *don't* use Diet (Light) Coke, though...

Not on your nelly! Blech - I don't drink the stuff so I certainly won't
use it in a marinade. Learned the tip from a butcher friend - he used to
rent out these big "spits" (rotisserie?) for doing a whole lamb. We got
the 'spit' and a lamb from him for my DS's 21st birthday party and he
volunteered to cook the lamb too He brought his own 'basting sauce'
and I asked him what he put in it... You could have knocked me over with
a feather when he told me about adding the cola - but it does work. That
lamb was delish!

BTW, never seen Dr. Pepper available here (RSA).

mr. pibb is quite similar (though i like dr. pepper better). i'm
assuming the coca-cola company's global reach extends to south africa.

if i had to describe it, i'd say a blend of cola and root beer. it's
tasty.

flavours.

I think if they do they have to list "artificial flavors" as an ingredient
category. The only soda I have on hand is Sprite Zero. Sprite would seem
to be as mainstream as you can get. Ingredients a "carbonated water,
citric acid, natural flavors, potassium citrate, potassium benzoate (to
protect taste), aspartame, acesulfame potassium." Nothing about
artificial flavors, and I'd say the potassium benzoate is a preservative
rather than a flavorant (protection isn't creation).

I've always thought of Sprite as slightly lemon flavoured.

Could just be all that sugar getting to me (I don't do "diet"soft
drinks).

What would explain part of the "LEMON-LIME SODA" on the label, and account
for some of the natural flavors.

I don't think the New Zealand labels say "LEMON-LIME SODA" but then it's
been literally years since I looked. I don't drink a lot of soda.
