game meat

Wild animal flesh

Game meat is the flesh of wild animals hunted for food rather than raised domestically—deer, elk, wild boar, pheasant, rabbit, and similar quarry.

The term distinguishes hunted meat from farmed varieties: The restaurant specializes in game meat from local hunters.

Game meat tends to be leaner and more strongly flavored than its domestic counterparts.
