Venison is an excellent meat... very lean, nice flavour when cooked properly, and doesn't smell any worse than lamb when cooking. Fresh venison backstraps off a young doe are divine... Especially on a bed of mash with a well cooked red wine jus
Growing up on the dirt, I don't get the whole squeamish thing. we slaughtered all of our meat when I was young. Everything from poultry to pork to beef. If you want some out there experiences in food, you should spend a little time with some traditional Indigenous Australians. I've been lucky enough in my time to spend a bit of time hanging around a few and have tried snake, goanna, echidna, kangaroo and a plethora of native fish, plants and vegetables. The most interesting being a nest of ants the locals call 'sugar bag' for the intense sweet taste you get when you squish the abdomen into your mouth.
Still have to say the weirdest thing I've ever eaten was deep fried Guinea Pig in Peru. Apparently the tradition comes from Ecuador, but it carried on through. Was pretty tasty though
