TOTALLY OT!!!! (about deer) dont read if your "vegan"

So at my hubby got a chunk of deer meat from his friend who owns a restuarant........... IS deer meat any good, ive never tried it? Im thinking a slow roast in the oven...... maybe? -I love meat.... no where near being a vegatarian/vegan, (those of you that are vegans, this post is clearly not for you.) Just so we dont get any hard feelings.

It tastes a lot like beef.  Same texture, etc.

I have had deer sausage before, it's pretty good. I've never cooked a nice chunk of it, but I do know it has to be done just the right way so it's not tough and whatnot. I would think a crockpot is a great idea or in the oven. Sometimes I am not very good with how long to cook certain meats for so they don't get tough, so I will use my crockpot and it does all the work for me. :)

okay thank you SO MUCH!!!! lol. i feel SO dumb for asking this on here.... :/ bc i have no idea what to do with it, and what does it taste like? does it have a intense flavor like beef or is it more like chicken?

Putting a deer roast in the crockpot or in the oven is a great idea.  We usually put a roast in the crockpot with potatoes and carrots and a pack of Lipton's onion soup mix.  Everyone in my family hunts, so I have eaten more than my share of deer meat in my life.  :)
