I grew up in the west. Meat and potatoes. My mother canned deer meat. At the beginning of deer season the adults went camping. Took the horses and brought home a winter's supply. I never learned to like it but I ate it.

And asparagus because it grew on the ditch banks and was free. I hated it. And chokeberries. Free. We did have a season with pheasant. Dad would get up, feed the animals and bring home 3 every day during the season.

Rich kids got strawberries and raspberries. We got chokeberries.
