” I have seen many exotic items on menus, I have never seen venison.”
Once , many years ago when in Nikko , Japan , I was served deer sashimi at the hotel I was staying at . It was Ok but nothing to write home about . I had grilled horse meat a few nights ago here in Kumamoto , Japan where horse meat is very popular .
When we were traveling through Sweden, we stopped for dinner at restaurant that had an English-language menu. The day’s special was something called “forcemeat.” After interrogating the waiter, we found out that “forcemeat” is a mixture of lean ground meat and fat and not a misspelling of “horse meat.”
