Who else eats deer heart?

Like my Dad always says: Anything is edible, you just have to know how to prepare it!

Ah, so very true. I've been lucky enough to eat 3 hearts so far this season, and tomorrow we'll be cooking 2 more! When we cooked the last one, we got a few people to try not only the heart for the first time, but also BBQ'd groundhog :eek::D
 
Hearts are OK as are brains. The liver and kidneys jobs are to filter out toxins and I personally stay away from them for that reason. Brains & Eggs are an old southern staple.
 
I eat the heart and the liver of deer. I've never eaten the brains or the kidneys. However, I hunted one year with a hunt club in south central Virginia. There were two guests from Germany that hunted with us. These two guys made sure they harvested the kidneys. I couldnt understand a lot of what they said but from what I gathered they said the kidneys were used in a traditional German dish at Christmas time made with deer kidneys and peas. I would like to try it. I bet its real good.
I feel like the more we utilize of the animal we harvest the more the blessing we receive.

Looks like that fellow in the photo should be out nibbling on Aspen trees with the other beavers.:)

No..... No ..... No.... Not in this day and age of CJD is it Ok to eat brains or spinal parts..... The use of such parts in animal feed is why CJD spreads through live stock. .... Tell me you are not serious?
 
Tradition

I love it. Cut up the heart and liver in nugget size pieces. Let marinate in bowl filled with olive oil and seasoning/spices overnight. Coat in seasoned bread crumbs. Grease pan and lay nuggets in. Pour moderate amount of olive oil over pieces. Broil that BAD LARRY. Well done is bad, medium to med. well is best. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
