CWD in raw venison?

[@truefireangel]

In Germany theres a raw meat dish called “Mett” To sum it up, it’s seasoned ground meat and you put that on bread or a Brottchen with raw onions on top and eat it. It’s so yummy!! :)

[@Leviathan272]

Love me my Mett Brötchen

[@chana7276]

It's so gross honestly i always hated when my classmates would eat it, they would take it out and it would make everything stink of onions and pork 🤮 and not in a good way!

[@ChillinRed]

What dish from Germany do you highly recommend for a person's first time trying a German dish?

[@Leviathan272]

@JuiceBox I'd say either - Maultaschen (it's like big pasta squares filled with minced meat and some other stuff. Typically served by either themselves or in some chicken soup) - Königsberger Klopse (meatballs and potatoes in a caper sauce) - Or some variation of Rouladen (beef, covered by a layer of mustard and then rolled up around onions, and pickles) with Klöße (like...boiled potato balls. Kind of) and red cabbage. Those I could recommend right off the bat.

Hi, deer farmer here, another way to avoid cwd if you are super worried about it is to research the species you hunt beforehand, there is at least one species that I am aware of that has 0 recorded cases of wild cwd and has been unaffected in lab environments as of my last deep dive into the topic a few years ago and that is fallow deer. I appreciate you for helping spread knowledge about the subject instead of fear.

[@xIQ188x]

As a venison acquirer and enjoyer, I agree with all these points except the bit about how “unless you cook your meat to 2000 degrees it may as well be raw”. US meat is pretty well regulated specifically against prions since the British mad cow incident. Testing the meat is smart and even my family doesn’t go that far because don’t have too much CWD around here, we don’t eat the brain, and you can just *see* when a deer has CWD, it’s very fucked up and obvious. But all that aside, there’s absolutely more risk of getting a prion from wild deer than there is store bought meat products.

[@tatiana4050]

I think it was more concern of eating it raw. And not eating wild vs store bought.

[@thathobbitlife]

I'd agree for sure

[@lemons1559]

Point is, if it contained CWD it makes no difference how much you cook it.

[@emikaneeran4490]

I’m confused, I thought the point he was making is that if there is CWD there’s no possibility of cooking it out of the meat. Is this incorrect?

[@systemdnb214]

Growing up one of my best friends moms was Lebanese. She would usually only make kibbeh for special occasions but when she did I was always first in line. Other pluses were leaving her house with bag fulls of grape leafs (dolmas) some with meat and cabbage rolls. I’m glad she taught me how to make these things because restaurants and places like Sprouts/Whole Foods charge an arm and a leg for them. Super healthy and flavorful food.

[@Dumpsterfiregrace]

I'm dying to try your recipe! 😍 We would make ours fairly simple. Meat, grain and onion. I might get creative a bit!

[@helensernett9477]

Kibbeh naya…it’s my favorite dish. Though if she hasn’t had it made with lamb and served with extra virgin olive oil, make sure she gets it that way with onion, olive and pita before she swears it off. I grew up eating lamb kibbie and I love how you showed baking off the leftovers because that’s so similar to how my grandma did it. My family came to the US from Lebanon several generations back.

[@lizf3325]

I’m vegan but, I respect that you honor the life that will help sustain you and use every single part. The elk herders in Russia honor and respect their herds. They eat the meat raw, It freezes as soon as they process it and they slice it frozen into a dish that goes on the table with the rest of their meal! Much different than a heap of uncared for unhealthy beef sitting in a grocery store for days, in a styrofoam dish!

[@Stethacanthus]

Finally, someone who gets CWD right! Honestly, I don't hunt or even eat game often (would love to do both) but I am an ecologist and some days I am blue in the face from explaining cooking wild game doesn't prevent CWD transmission. Arguably, even if your deer had CWD and you ate it, the advice you ignored in doing so is out of an abundance of caution. You don't want to be patient zero. Not to say it's safe either. Deer with CWD take pretty poor care of themselves and their immune systems fail, so anything else you're worried about in a deer is going to be even more risky in a deer with CWD.

That's the biggest hurdle. Alot of families in my area would actually own sheep specifically raised for lamb used in kibbe. My neighbors were Lebanese growing up and I was so intrigued by the whole culture. My family raised me very open minded and encouraged to let me try anything.

[@warribe]

Look, im from brazil, ok? So not the same things as america.. but when my family does kibbeh they buy beef minced from a trusted supermarket and freeze it. Than unfreeze it to go through the meat grinder… we are all pretty healthy - and also meat not frozen smells a bit.. after freezing it, taste better

So the Hmong people are an ethinic minority that are from Southeastern Asia; places like Southern China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam were locations where we lived. We lived up in the mountains. We don't have a country of our own. During the Vietnam war, we helped the US during the war which resulted in Vietnam and Laos to commit genocide against the Hmong which resulted in us moving across the world.

The second is a regional delicacy called Parisa. As far as I can find online, it’s only really found in Medina country along highway 90 west of San Antonio. It’s essentially the result of Germans who “settled” the area and had steak tar tar, and Mexicans who lived here who decided it needed cheese, onions, jalepeños and lime juice.

Hey! Just a few comments about CWD. You are completely right that cooking does not inactivate CWD prions, but I would still be hesitant to consume raw venison if you live in an area where brain worm affects white-tailed deer and elk.

I have found since starting to teach people how to process your own food, the ones who worry about all the things that can kill you, are the ones with no experience in producing/harvesting/rendering/cooking their own wild or grown food (that’s including growing up being exposed to these skills). Not that it’s a bad thing to be concerned about that, obviously you have to have good handling skills and know about those kinds of things, I just find it funny meeting people who didn’t grow up with these skills how worried they get with some stuff and I’m just so comfortable with it.

Can I come over when you make it, I haven’t had it for years❤️ As long as you believe the deer was ‘healthy’, I’m with ya! We process our own deer, and my husband always laughs, because he forgets every year that I do this…. When I’m slicing some of the meat off the bones for grind, if it’s thin, and tender, I don’t think twice, I just POP it into my mouth. My husband who doesn’t even eat vegetables raw, always ‘freaks’, then remembers that I do this( I’m Slavic, Ukrainian, Hungarian, German, Chech, ) so he calls me a ‘vampire’ Lol

Oh my gosh you're the first and only person I've ever met my life that eats raw venison like I do
