Deer Party

2012年1月17日 (火)

The day before yesterday one of my friends invited me to an unusual party.  It was a deer party.  About 20 people got together to eat deer for dinner.

My friend is learning to hunt, and on Sunday he caught his first deer.  We had deer shabu-shabu, deer nabe, and deer hamburger steak.  Hokkaido deer has very little fat, and is quite tasty.

Some people say deer has a strong smell, but we didn’t notice such a smell.

By the way, deer meat is called venison.  In Hokkaido there are more than one million deer, and they are causing problems for farmers.  I think it is better for Hokkaido people to eat deer than to import meat from other countries.  Hokkaido venison is delicious, cheap, and good for the environment.

It’s tasty Eco.
