What's everybody's favorite meats? I prefer venison over beef then beef over chicken. I haven't encountered a meat I don't like. If I have venison I prefer it fresh from a hunt. Never had fresh beef though but I have had fresh chicken. It's amazing the difference fresh foods can make.

Duck. Especially with the skin still on because I like the texture of the little chewy bits where the feathers used to be stuck in. I love duck.

I also like horse. It's lovely and dense. Most other Brits think I'm some sort of barbarian for eating horse but they're all wrong. Horse is wonderfully flavoursome too, esp. if it's cooked by someone who knows what they're about. I've had zebra as well which is similar and contrary to popular belief, isn't stripy on the inside.

Venison varies widely in quality, mostly based on the diet of the animal. Venison from half-starved deer that have barely survived by chewing on bark and roots is fucking awful.

The best venison I ever had was from a farmer friend I had, who also had a small home/business network that I maintained on a barter basis. He would let deer eat his corn and then take advantage of the laws that exempted farmers from the usual hunting season so they could always cull deer to protect crops, and once they were nice and fat, he'd take some.

His brother was also a very good butcher and made the best sausages I've ever had. I am always disappointed in sausage when I compare it to the 30 pound batch I practically lived on for an entire winter.

Corn-fed venison is ridiculously sweet and lean as hell.

Chicken (especially baked or BBQ).
Ham, Turkey, and Italian-hoagie sandwhich meats.
Beef, doesn't matter what (prefferably medium or medium rare).

That's just my common choices.

Chicken, especially if it's BBQ or fried
Beef. Use to be well done but now I'm leaning more on medium rare cooked beef
Pork, especially as baked ham which is very heavenly compared to packaged slice ham and as BBQ pork
I remember enjoying some venison my dad hunted. Had it as a steak and as a jerky. Both were delicious though considering what @AnOminous said, those cuts of deer had of come from a wild animal that was well fed.

Deer and bison. Bear is alright too, if you can get over the greasiness.

Agreed with the bear comment, it's the same with cougar. Although if we are talking more unusual meat, Musk ox is fucking incredible. I've never had a more tender delicious meat in my life.

For more of a grocery store meat, a good steak is toppers but chicken is delicious and super versatile.

Gotta agree with Ginger Piglet. Duck, when especially roasted right is an epicurean delight. When it comes to pig, the ears and tummy or anywhere where the fat is is fantastic.

The triad of beef, chicken, and pork! I also wish to try some of the more exotic meats like alligator.

Duck is really hit or miss in that sense, though. I wouldn't really trust myself to do duck without studying the recipe first and making sure I got the best. It can be exquisite but done incorrectly (and even some otherwise well reviewed restaurants fuck it up awfully), it is inedible.
