Never tried dog. But I'd give it a try.

Cur-ry?

I can’t understand these people.

They are either just plain neurotic -

“What we know about eating animals is that we don’t want to know”

Whose that “we” that is fearful of knowing ?

Or absurdly in pursuit of consistent systems - a bit of Aspergers here ? Human behavior and motivations just are not rationaly consistent, and its silly to try to make up consistent Procrustean systems and hold people to them.

Or similarly absurdly fashion-chasing, in this case of a social-status trump-card;

Or just plain decadent, too twee for their own good due to separation from reality ?

All different ways.

If wrapped in foil and slow smoked, they fall apart for great
sandwiches (BBQ sauce added after cooking, if desired) or even
baked potato topping, if you have a lot of folks to feed.

Some folks cut them into steaks or chops, and grill or bake ‘em.

Me, I kind of like cutting them into medallions, butterflying them,
rolling them in flour after soaking in milk and chicken frying them.

With gravy yet.

Now I’m hungry.

Slow smoked sounds good. Do you usually marinate them or use some kind of rub?

Clean ‘em up, slice off the silver film.
Wrap well in foil and toss on a medium hot grill that can be kept
so for several hours and covered. Maybe pit is a better word then grill.

Salt & Pepper and Beer during cooking, turn a few times.

After 3-4-or-5 hours, depending.. when the meat is soft all through,
slice open the foil, like the skin on a baked potato.

Cut the piece down the center and you’ll now be able to shred
it just like nicely done pulled pork. Purists should get their portion at this point.

Shred the piece up, and dump BBQ sauce on it.

Close the pit for a few minutes after throwing some buns face down on it.

Open up and has most awesome DeerBQ Sammitches!

Like I always say, keep the women in the kitchen and away from the pit and the fish fryer. You will be better for it.

Men are much more talented in the art of cooking.

Absolutely, women should be confined to the bedroom and laundry room. While being barefoot.

That’s because she can hit me and I’ve got some of her plates.

My favorite brother was a much better cook than any woman I know.

But if you don’t train your women and let ‘em practice, how are you guys going to blow stuff up, have a shoot, and then drink beer and talk about guns, ammo, and game while they do the cookin’ if you have to be hovering over the pit for hours guarding the pulled venison?

Quite a dilemma...
