Appetites are becoming ever more adventurous and so is our awareness of the content of our meat and its effect on our health. The popularity of 'world cuisine' in recent years has really opened the doors for the exotic meat market as well as game meats that had fallen out of fashion. This acceptance of meats different to what we usually expect to see on the menu has been buoyed by the fact that many of these game and ‘speciality' meats are actually very, very good for your health. Roaming free and flourishing in parkland, estates and the wild across Europe and the U.K., venison is fast becoming one of the most popular choices for people searching for that rich, gamey flavour. It is a powerful meat with plenty of character and deserves a lot more attention, in our opinion anyway. Less fat than skinless chicken, low impacting on cholesterol, consistently high levels of iron and other essential minerals; venison is a wonderfully nourishing meat. From grouse, pheasant, quail, wood pigeon and guinea fowl in the poultry corner to meats from wild boar and rabbit, we supply a whole range of game. Travel a little further in gourmet and geography and there is a whole world of incredible meats: bison, ostrich, camel, python, antelope, kangaroo, and wildebeest to name but a few.
