Venison

Pops shot a deer and butchered in his friend’s garage and I ate it up.

I had all this elderberry syrup I bought a church social and decided to marinate it in that. Jammed that roast full of cloves and garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it roll around for a while in the purple soupy mess.

A terrible idea.

Maybe it works with partridge or grouse, but the elderberries only up the gamey taste of the meat. I’d heard that in Norway grouse will spend most of their lives eating elderberries and colors the flavor of the meat. This is not Norway and I’m sticking to venison sausage from here on out.
