If I understand correctly from anthro studies classes, organ meats were always
first choice across all societies, especially for hunters.  Animals choose organ
meats over muscle first, natural to think man would too.  Ras, you stated you
added organ meats to your vension sausage, did it add to the consistancy for
better or worse?  how about flavor?
Also, does anyone have a good recipe for deer heart?  a friend says they always
sliced and fried the heart in a batter with spices, but could never remember what.
