  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Deer are "overabundant" in my area. Guy I knew hunted them. One day he brings some deer meat to work for everyone to try.

It's gross, it's chewy, ropy, and tastes like juniper. I guess it's free, but no thanks...

Maybe your guy just wasn't a good cook ...

I'm not a hunter myself, but plenty of venison on the menu in my childhood in rural Arkansas. It's definitely inferior to good beef. But, if you treat it like a tough, lean cut of cow, it's fine. Usually this means adding fat, slow cooking, or both. I never found the taste bad, but chewy and ropy is definitely the default texture unless you work hard to make it more palatable.

When I cook at home, I'm vegan (beans, quinoa, cheese substitute, mostly), but when I go out I can certainly appreciate all meats and dairies.
