How do you like deer sausage? Hot or mild?

[FEENIX]

Q: How do you like deer sausage? Hot or mild?

A: Mild. It is more flexible.

 

[Ol' Red]

I may be confused. Are we talking breakfast sausage, summer sausage or bratwurst style sausage here?

 

[PApa Black]

I like both. But some like it hot, some like it cold. Some like it in the pot nine days old.

Cooked

Y'all are making me hungry

Hot! Because I like spicy everything

I got a guy here local makes a killer Cajun sausage & Cajun breakfast sausage

My Pops had some made at the Italian grocery after hours. They were known for all varieties of Italian plus Polish, sometimes Chorizo and Brats. Cajun ?
He brought home a batch that was a Major League Hit. Second batch was not the same.
One was half and half pork/ venison another was a different ratio. Wish I knew. Not spicy.

Spicy!, enough to where I don't taste the deer.

I like mild as I can doctor it up as needed and usually do.

I make my own, medium hot Italian sausage or maple syrup and brown sugar breakfast sausage. I do it up as Paddys or in natural casings. I add a little pork shoulder with fat to the mix or, if I've been to South Carolina that year, I substitute pork for boar

Years ago, I put on a game dinner with about 300 to 500 attending at my local VFW each year. In the last 10 or 15 years, I have pared that down to about a dozen at my house. We've had everything from raccoon casserole to lion.

Due to a couple of gout attacks, I don't eat much red meat!
BUT.....
When I made my own sausage, I want it sassy!
I don't want to have to fight my food!
I want just enough "heat" that after the bite and chew, it dawns on you, "That's spicy!"

First batch of venison sausage I made, my kids were 5 and 7. For a breakfast sausage, it WAS a bit spicy.
When I'd cook it, the kids would come by, grab a patty and say, "Not so much pepper next time, Dad!" ...as they grabbed the second patty!
The two of them would probably eat half a pound, complaining the whole time!

And since they invented the drive-up window, a guy's never going to be hungry enuff to try, the Coon casserole!!

I'm a hot guy however, the mild (at least at my processor) has a better flavor. When I'm cooking in bulk, I like to mix a couple pounds of venison with a 16oz chub of Tennessee Pride pork sausage. A couple of pre-made patties makes a great mid-day snack for me since I've been skipping breakfast and lunch.
