Free Meat
« on: December 25, 2009, 01:04 »
Hunting has to be the most frugal way of getting fresh, observered healthy meat? Sometimes I look at packages in supermarket and wonder what where and when this came from? No answers. When huting you know where when and why and how satisfying....well I think so ?

Yes brilliant if you can. I had a present of Sika deer last year; so tender and delicious.

You never see game in the shops here. I remember a local greengrocer in England who always had various game birds and rabbits hanging outside.

Rabbit or pigeon casserole beats roast turkey any day! :D

Our Christmas dinner yesterday was a haunch of roe deer we had been given by a hunter. I boned it out and rolled it up into a joint. It was delicious and have got loads left as cold cuts in the fridge. It's like the best quality beef but with extra taste - yum

I love rabbit and pigeon too, but not so keen on pheasant.
