Venison Summer Sausage page

[Samuel Hughes]

So my friend gave me this huge Venison summer sausage. It was made by some company in small town Virginia, I think using deer his grandfather killed plus...whatever else they put in it. Think I should eat it? I am not one to waste food but at the same time I like to know what I am eating...

Take a bite.

If you keel over dead we'll know it's not primal.

... or you know, you'll either feel "okay" eating it, or it'll make you feel "not okay".

If there's stuff in there that you'd rather not eat, you could consider that part of your 20% right?

Places that make summer sausage are usually pretty natural. Worst case? Probably sugar and/or some kind of fat. Venison is usually too lean for sausage. So the sugar is probably minimal, and the source of the fat may not be grass fed, but it's still fat. All in all it's mostly game. I'd eat it, and if you won't send it to me.

I agree. There is going to be a decent amount of fat, which is good. Probably a bit of sugar, but if you are like me, you eat any sugar and you'll get a headache only to realize that the summer sausage is destined for another.
