I am a hunting guide & from a long Cattle Ranching dynasty so am lucky to have grown up on a wide arrange of different high quality meats, so would always turn my nose up to the old frontier offal recipe offerings but have grown to enjoy a few offal dishes now.

While hunting in Africa the Cape Buffalo are still one of my favorite hunts & around 8 years ago one of our camp cooks made a buffalo tongue dish to celebrate a large troublesome Bull l put down ,they made that much effort in preparing it l had to eat it & it was that good l ask them to cook it every year.The Australian Buffalo is really good for this as well.

The old man would try to get me to eat Elk & Deer heart as a camp breakfast all through my childhood as he taught me how to hunt & as we have a remote Horse Back camp if you did not eat what was cooked on the fire you went hungry,so l would sneak out & grab some of the Elk Jerky or Elk/deer Salami we always had hanging in the cold store instead, even though l would have to settle for it cold

.Now l love Elk & Deer heart cooked in a pan with lots of butter ,mushrooms & onion ,l think your taste just changes as you get older & cow etc cheek is my preferred cut to make casseroles or stews etc..
