Whitetail Tongue Hash

This is something I have never tried and will plan for it this year.

I used to cook/serve Cow tongue regularly when I had a neighbour would raised beef. He had his butcher keep them for me so I would get 4-6 a year for the freezer.

Tongue is often considered a delicacy or acquired taste...which means it is only enjoyed by people who can get paste knowing what they are eating....LOL...

This sounds good !!

If you know how to cook it, tongue is great. I've had beef many times growing up, never tried Deer but have kept and cooked Moose tongue which I think it very similar to beef and huge lol.

I love beef tongue
Have always wanted to try deer but just never got around to taking them out of the deer.

I did a moose tongue a couple years ago. I struggled with the texture but the guys at the camp loved it.
For the next one I’ll try something like this.

I watch Life Below Zero and when the Hailstones harvest Caribou or the like by far the most cherished piece of meat they keep as a treat is the tongue.

That sounds great. I remember my Dad would cook beef tongue was I was a kid. When Ma was away, it was either chicken gizzards, liver or tongue. I remember loving the tongue, and not knowing what is was until after I ate it. I may try this this fall with my game. Thx.

I ate too much of it when I was younger.

I pickled venison heart and tongue last fall. It was quite good. I will consider the above recipe next time round.
