What is deer meat called?

Deer meat is commonly called venison.

• Venison (from the Latin venari, meaning "to hunt") is a broad term referring to the meat of any game animal, but it most often refers to the meat of a deer. Specifically, it's often used for the meat of elk, moose, reindeer (caribou), and roe deer as well.
• Taste and Texture: Venison is known for being leaner than beef, with a richer, slightly gamey flavor. The texture can vary depending on the age of the animal and the cut of meat, but it tends to be tender if prepared properly.
• Nutritional Value: It is a good source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. Because of its lower fat content, it is often considered a healthier alternative to beef.
• Common Cuts: Common cuts of venison include loin, tenderloin, roast, and ground venison. These can be prepared in a variety of ways, such as grilling, roasting, braising, or making into sausages and burgers.
• Preparation: Due to its leanness, venison benefits from careful preparation to prevent it from drying out. Marinating, using moist cooking methods, and not overcooking are important considerations.
