Easy Venison Biltong

It’s Monday and I have serious hunger pangs. As ludicrous as it sounds, I am having some homemade Venison Biltong for breakfast. I generally don’t have a proper breakfast when I’m working as I tend to graze, which makes biltong the ideal snack. For starters, it is incredibly lean and because I used venison thereContinue reading “Easy Venison Biltong”

Venison & Wild Boar Burgers

It’s Friday and I am excited to be making some Venison & Wild Boar burgers. I’ve never had Wild Boar before but my local gamedealer had some so it would be rude not to try it out. Venison is pretty much fat free and because it is so lean, you really need some fat toContinue reading “Venison & Wild Boar Burgers”

Homemade Venison Meatballs

It’s Sunday which means the day of rest……I think. It’s been a mentally draining week due to health issues concerning my daughter and whenever I get stressed I like to eat and oh boy did I EAT.

What the duck!!!!!

I like ducks, they swim in ponds and my kids feed them bread. I’ve had shredded duck a few times from the takeaway but I’ve never even considered trying wild duck so when my friend shot a few, I jumped at the chance. I was grateful to receive a Golden Eye and a Mallard, theContinue reading “What the duck!!!!!”

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander….or so I thought.

A couple of days ago a friend of mine was out wildfowling on the foreshores of Edinburgh where he shot some geese and wigeon. He was kind enough to give me one of each as I had never eaten either of them before and I am always keen to try something new. I pull upContinue reading “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander….or so I thought.”

Run Rabbit Run Rabbit Run Run Run….
