What's your favourite meat? Mine would have to be beef, I love a steak or a roast.

I'm with Fleecewife. Hogget or even better, Mutton.

I do have quite a thing for homecured bacon as well though.

Love 'em all.

Current favourite jersey beef steak.  And burgers.  And mince.  Till I have the next joint of hogget...  :yum:

I love pork but I think my own beef and hogget just pips it.

Home-cured gammon though...  :yum:

I really love a good old-fashioned proper chicken too...

Nope, can't choose just one!

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Venison, with a glass of a Rhone red. I get complaints if I cook venison more than 1 or 2 times a week though. (We have loads)

Beef but it has to be good stuff and served frighteningly rare, ideally with a Bordeaux red.

Lamb/mutton/goat. Thinking about getting some sheep just so I can eat more as I keep forgetting how much I like it. A bottle of Rioja is required.

I never eat bought chicken but occasionally catch a surplus cockrel and slow cook him (with lemon zest in milk is the current favourite).

I never used to rate pork until we ate one of our own pigs which is/was delicious.

Basically I can't decide and like them all.

Our Wullie, is your venison wild or farmed? I've only ever eaten farmed and though I love it I would like to know if there is a difference in taste.
I love beef as rare as you like.
Lamb, but must be eaten as soon as cooked, hate cold lamb!
Can take goat or leave alone.
Love pork (our own Kune) roasted, sausages or however.
Chicken, must be our own free range cockerels.
Duck also our own.
But, best of all GOOSE!! I could eat it every day!!

Lamb....and I love cold lamb too, especially in a sandwich of lovely granary bread

I think pork is my favourite. Especially with lovely crispy crackling  :)

Devonlady it is wild. I haven't compared it to farmed so can't comment.
We have Red, Roe and Sika in the freezer.  The red and roe were shot out of the sitting room window!  Sika has the reputation of being the best but I haven't got round to having all three on the same plate to make a scientific comparison.

Stags shot in autumn are much stronger tasting than summer ones and length of time hung makes a big difference to how gamy it tastes.
