Best tasting plains game

[NDWoods]

I am the guy who has only been once so not the most experienced.

We had something different grilled for 7 days and the Eland liver takes first place for me.

It really is good ! It’s a meat & beer stew that originated from the Dutch Boers. I was first introduced to it during my safari to Kenya in 1974. Unfortunately, it appears to have lost favor amongst younger generations of gourmands.

I’m willing to try something new, could this work with any game bird in Africa? Including Francolin and Sandgrouse?

Yip! 100%

Guineafowl potjie especially is a very popular dish among the local wing shooters.
Francolin are delicious, Sandgrouse and whole roasted quails are sublime.

Definitely !

Eland is not only the finest tasting plains game, it is one of the best meats I’ve ever tasted. Eland filets cooked over a charcoal fire with garlic butter….or bone marrow butter if the cook knows how! You can have the rest!

What he said!

I’m just reading all of the new comments now. I’ve seen a few eland hunting videos and those things are giants. I’ve known about the bird hunting there and how good it is. I looked up some pictures on to see what potjie looked like. It reminds me of cooking small game in the crock pot. Africa sounds promising, and Namibia sounds like a great place to start this journey. Maybe one day, in the future I can make the trip. But for now, I’ll keep dreaming and learn all I can.

I’ve just had Sable filet twice here in Zim and it was near the top of best game meat for me!

Echoing many before me--- eland, hartebeest, and zebra. Zebra being my favorite.

On my first hunt in Africa, zebra proved almost comically elusive. At the end of every day, Chef would meet us at the truck to see if we had taken a zebra yet. Upon finally bringing one in, he said, "Now...now you are in for a treat."

He was absolutely correct!

Very excited to try Eland and zebra in a few weeks! As mentioned, Eland is apparently very good. I did not get a chance to eat any last trip over, but everything else was great. Impala, Blesbok, gemsbok, kudu, it was all great. We had bushpig ribs one night that were amazing.

zebra and eland was tops but bushbuck , kudu , sable were all good.
