Venison Bangers and Burgers

[Dougy]

Just knocked up 20kg of bangers and burgers, 

Tried the  Weschenfelder Hunters mix i bought from the stalking show last week in one mix, Its OK but over powering,  too much Thyme and Rosemary for my taste. one other batch was my usual Scobie's Venison and Juniper with my addition of Red wind and dried Mango. 

And then the usual Burger mix, with chilli, garlic,mango red wine. 70 x 6 oz Burgers should be enough for a while.

I would imagine they taste as good as they look , have you tried pigeon and pork sasauges and burgers ? , I gave a local butcher some W / Pigeons and he gave me a few of each to try , t b h I could taste the pork more than the Pigeons but they were very nice all the same .

Not tried pigeon, mainly due to me shooting ability. 

I'm not too keen on the mix from Weschenfelder. I've knocked up 7kg of pheasant and Duck sausages last night, with the remaining dried Mango. There quite tasty 😋

I use pigeon/pork at a 50/50 mix. Leek and chive goes best. Sometimes use beer or cider occasionally red wine. Some apple is nice too. 

Burger wise it's the same mix and whatever burger mix u want to add, from hot and spicy to whatever. Occasionally make a rissole with it using herbs and chopped onion. 

Spicey meatballs goes well too. Italian herbs and chopped onions. Everyone likes them. Got 40 odd kg in the freezer to sort out soon ready for bbq season.

If I get a munty it's burgers or dice for stews. 

Occasionally I gather up all the odd bits of game and do a pot luck burger or sausage. Can be entertaining.  

Never thought to add mango. Might give that a  try.

I would have used cranberry's with the venison but ran out and had a load of dried mango that needed to be used.

Nice 😎. I have to say that I’ve never eaten a burger as nice as you make .

Pigeon beasts minced with 20/30% beef fat,  then add burger season mix. Make top class burgers.  As good as you'll taste.  Brilliant way of making use of volume of pigeons. Trick is mince beef fat  along with your pigeon,  and only put through mincer once.  Then add good quality burger mix/ seasoning,  mix throughly.  I bring my breasts to local butcher and I make them with him. Big mincer,  burger press,etc.. real good job done on them.     Roughly 120 pigeons  = 240 breasts = around 80/ 90 good big burgers.. sounds alot but they don't last long 😋
