Plant fats all dissolve in my saliva but the fats on muscle meat e.g. wild venison don't dissolve in my mouth. They are like chewing gum. I instinctively want to spit them out but I've been swallowing them assuming maybe I just need to get used to them.
In the past I've felt venison as it moved throughout my entire digestive tract - as an uncomfortable lump. It put me off of meat for a long time (despite craving it) because obviously there is no point eating food you don't digest.
I'm wondering if it's the fats that caused that sensation instead of the muscle (which goes liquid in my saliva)? Do other people here swallow fats that have a chewing gum texture? Did anybody else have similar issues?

Unfortunately London is a bit far for me. It seems to me that game is generally frozen.
I decided to try eating it anyway thinking it would have only been frozen whilst travelling from the hunter to Abel and Cole.
It's the first meat I've eaten this year and it quickly dissolves in my mouth no problem. The only bit that doesn't seems to be the "gristle"/fat - which I can still swallow comfortably if I chew it a bit and take small mouthfuls. It Tastes exactly the same as cooked red meat to me (except this is nicer).
I since got an email back from Abel and Cole and they assured me that it actually hasn't been frozen - the defrost instructions were there should I decide to freeze. So I can get my muscle meat from Abel and Cole! Shame they don't sell organic/wild offal but I think I found place for that .

Does anybody have episode 420 that wouldn't mind uploading it? I'd like to listen to it but the links are all dead .
Thanks,
Ben.
