Deer and boar do drop raw meat. You can cook deer meat and eat it or you can take cooked deer meat, blueberries, and carrots and make deer stew if you have built a cauldron (requires tin). To make sausages you need uncooked boar meat, entrails (dropped by Dragur) and thistles. (Also requires cauldron and requires the spice rack).
