My wife isn't a fan, but ate Elk and liked it. I could never get her to even try in years past. Started with sausage and worked our way to stewed meats (a hearty stew, elk tips in gravy) and hamburger (enchilada casserole) before moving to steaks. She will not eat venison, too gamey for here, nor does she do seafood with a rare exception of Wisconsin Yellow (lake or bay) Perch.
