deer meat
Game from forests
Deer meat is the flesh of deer eaten as food.
The term appears in contexts where the more formal *venison* might sound pretentious or unfamiliar: We had deer meat for dinner after the hunt.
Unlike beef, pork, or poultry, deer meat has no single-word equivalent in common American speech, though *venison* serves this role in culinary and hunting contexts.
