On the first day of the new year, Dianna Marder, food columnist for the Inquirer, featured a story on Collegeville resident Mike D. Marino’s annual free, open-to-the-public game luncheon. On the menu? Local venison and fish, along with a few escapee sheep caught by the Evansville game warden. “Though some game meats [like venison] are higher in dietary cholesterol, the combination of more lean muscle tissue, less saturated fat, and a significantly higher percentage of cholesterol-reducing polyunsaturated fatty acids make game meats a heart-healthy choice,” states the nutritional information page for the Web site Gunner’s Den, a hunting gun reference site.
D’Angelo Bros. Meat Market on Ninth Street has been selling a variety of game and exotic meats for more than 70 years. In addition to boasting what they claim to be the largest selection of game meats in the country, the white-tiled shop also carries 40 types of sausage and eight varieties of paté. If Mike Marino’s recipe for venison chili with lemon, beans and tomato sauce piques your fancy, stop by D’Angelo’s for 2 pounds of ground Bambi and have at it.
