I’ve tried a number of different types of meat, but never venison. I know people usually describe it as being gamey, but is it comparable to any other meats? For example, given that description, I’d picture it as being similar to a leaner goat meat.

They sell farmed, ground venison in one of the grocery stores I go to. It’s imported from New Zealand, IIRC. I got a couple packs of it once. The stuff I got, at least, had a more iron-forward flavor than what I’m used to from beef and was very lean – which made it less satisfying than ground beef or lamb for most of the dishes I use ground meat for. It tasted like beef that, if I paid attention, was kind of off, but otherwise wasn’t very notable. Edible, but not something I’ve felt much inclination to seek out again. I’d be willing to get it again if it was cheaper or if I need to change my diet to be lower in fat, but otherwise I’d rather just have beef or lamb. I have not tried it as a steak though, and I haven’t had wild caught as far as I can recall.
