Two local ladies, Caroline and Penny, make all their own chipolatas, sourcing deer from their nearby surrounding environment. I'd always found venison tough and old and dry. Their lifestyle venison couldn't be more different. As Simon says, it really is like eating Bambi not its mother.

They're £16.80 a kilo, though I only ate less than three hundred grams of them personally. You can never tell from eating one. There was a song, I can't remember who it was by, but the gist of it was, do it to me one more time, once is never enough. That's what I'm like with new tastes. I just need to keep on tasting them, on and on, forcing myself to have one more till I really 'get the point'.
