Wild Game Side Dishes. Wether you're looking for something to eat with your venison, duck, geese, boar or other game, the recipes below should have you covered. A rule of thumb is that the leaner the meat, the richer the side or sauce can be used in order to compliment the dish. For instance, pouring a rich cream sauce over a fatty heap of wild hog barbecue may sound delicious, but it will more than likely leave you stuffed and laying on the couch for a couple of hours. Feel free to pair the recipes below with whatever game meat you like, but sticking to the above guideline with place you at a great starting point.
