    i dont have venison salami, but i do have all kinds of venison roast and steaks . so i think what im gonna do is, cook my meat up in oven seasoned my way of course. maybe steak seasoning and throw in lots of vegies and cheese.
    i know my hubby and kids will love it. when i grind some up into burger maybe try it that way too. yum o thanks for the idea. been looking for some different ways of eating/cooking the venison i have stock piled in my freezer. = )

    I bet you can call your local butcher for the salami… or ask a good friend who might be a hunter… As for the Croissants – I think this would be amazing…
