Exactly, the same reason we don't eat goat either.
Goat BBQ is absolutely delicious. But it is a strong flavor that lingers for a long time. It's just not palatable for the average American consumer to eat on a regular basis.
On the one hand I absolutely wish we had a wider variety of meats available. But on the other hand I totally understand why there isn't enough demand for it to be economically viable.
yea but I wonder if folks would still care about "gameyness" if they ate it from birth
one thing that you often notice moving from abroad is that the pork in North America (raw) smells and tastes like piss. but if you're used to it you just don't question it
I haven't noticed that but it's been quite a while since I cooked unprocessed raw pork. I wonder if the intense ammonia smell that builds up in pig factories had anything to do with the smell you experienced.
Because they don't have a whole lot of gamey flavors. That, and lamb is seen as an upper class food in the US when it comes to home preparation.
