Well the thing with getting people to like venison is not to push them. Next time make some venison gravy and some beef gravy for the rice. Then ask her to try just a small amount of the venison. The more they try it the more they get used to it. Also venison ground also works real good in chili and spagheitti sauces as well.

A phrase from a former Alberta Premier comes to mind; "Shoot, shovel n' shutup." (in ref to mad cow disease)
In this case; "Shoot, cook n' shutup."
90% of food dislikes is mental. My kids hate garlic and onions. They also know that I cook with both regulary. I just don't have the heart to tell them that the smashed potatoes that they have been eating and love, have equal doses of both.[8D]

We used to have a friend - - well, she's still a friend - - but she claimed she didn't like venison. Once when their family was at our house, my wife fixed "beef" stroganoff with venison. Being a gracious guest, the lady didn't refuse the food that was passed to her, but she just took a small portion, thinking it might be venison. After sampling it, she smiled and said, "Oh, good. I was afraid you might have made it with venison; this is really good!"
We let her eat it and take seconds before we told her it WAS venison.
We have found this to be true of a number of people who have tried venison that was poorly handled after the shot. If you took a prime beef cow, dragged it through the swamp and then hung it in partial shade in a tree with the skin on for a week, I doubt many people would enjoy the taste of it either.
We have also found that when you remove the meat from the bones rather than cutting through the bones dragging the marrow across the meat it makes a big difference. Also cutting as much fat and "silver skin" off as possible helps a great deal. That's our humble opinion, and a lot of former "venison dislikers" would agree.

beef stroganoff is one of my wife's favs.
I may sneak some venison into it next time I make it

I never mix the fat or the pork or what ever mix I am going to use, until just prior to cooking. If you mix all of it together too soon, some of the fats can leave an off taste in the venison.

You need to win her over to the "all natural crowd of no growth hormones, no preservatives, you process yourself, so you know exactly what is in it, and the most healthy meat going". My wife was exactly the same way when I married her, however now we have 6 deer in our freezer and it is all she like because it is healthy. Do a google search of "health benefits of venison" and then show her.
You also need to learn how to cook it, also do a search for venison recipes.
