Venison is raw deer meat, a large and very filling cut. One portion makes a hearty meal once cooked. It is also a strong ingredient in stews, stir fries, pasta, rice and pizza.
Venison spoils within days, so it must be cooked or frozen quickly. It is dangerous raw and has to be cooked before eating. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
A cooked portion of venison lowers hunger by 80. It holds 440 calories, with almost 63 grams of protein and nearly 19 grams of fat and no carbohydrates. That much protein suits a character who is building strength, and the calories help keep weight up.
Raw venison is dangerous to eat and can make the character sick. Venison is better hot and worse cold, so it should be eaten soon after cooking. A cold leftover portion is a less pleasant meal.
Compared with a Turkey Fillet, which lowers hunger by 50 at 0.3 weight, venison is more filling per portion. It is also heavier, at 0.5 weight.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Venison cooks in 50 minutes and burns after 70. That is a long cook, so it suits an oven or a steady fire. A microwave is a poor choice for it.
Venison goes into Pizza, Stew, Stir Fry, Pasta and Rice, adding 20 hunger to each. Once cooked, it can go into a Salad or a Burrito for 10, and into a Sandwich or a Taco for 5. Raw venison can also be added to fishing chum, where it adds 20 to the bait mix.
A single portion is large, so it can feed a whole pot of stew on its own.
These dishes take the Venison as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage
Venison stays fresh for only 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down, and a freezer holds it far longer. Freezing spare portions straight away keeps the meat for later meals.
Notes
- Venison is better hot and worse cold, so eat it straight after cooking.
- The long cook time means venison needs an oven or a fire left burning.
- Spare raw venison makes strong fishing chum.
- Venison rots in days, so freeze what will not be eaten soon.
