Government food strategy tells public to eat venison instead of beef to save planet

Not a chance, I tried it once when we were out for Dinner, the taste made me gag…Shudder. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Same here. Horse is ok though.

Yeah I had it once too, years ago. Not a fan either really.

Was that a deliberately thoughtless remark? :thinking:

Not at all. Simply stating my opinion. If folk spend any time in Europe the probability is that when eating a steak and especially a burger they’ll often be “Noshing on a Neddie”!

I found the taste of venison, too strong.
The word ‘venison’ always reminds me of a book l read at junior school… ‘The Children Of The New Forest’.

Ooooh PixieKnuckles,i loved the Jean M Auel books.
I have never tasted venison , i have eaten horse,it`s a little tough imo.
We have lots of deer near us,and they are beautifull animals.
They are very friendy too and enjoy apples and carrots.

I enjoyed them as well. I think I started Shelters of Stone some time ago, and didn’t finish it…I’ll need to get back to it :smiley: :books:

I won’t eat deer, I’m all about vegetarian these days with eating the occasional chicken breast but I’m even considering giving that up as there are some good vegetarian alternatives out there these days. The older I get the less I want to eat meat, mind you, I’ve never been much of a red meat eater anyway, I don’t really like it except for mince. Hate lamb and pork, it’s disgusting to my tastebuds, same with gammon and chicken legs, thigh, wings.

Deer are such beautiful creatures it just feels wrong to kill them to eat when there are so many foods out there with protein.

Ohhh please go back to it PixieKnuckles.
The first book was called The Clan Of Cave Bear,and there are around 4/6 more,the last one took along time to be published as the author was poorly.
The best read i have ever read.

I have had it noted to go back and re-read the entire series because I really enjoyed it, and also I need to finish the story with the end books. I particularly liked the bit where Ayla was on her own in the cave and finding medicine plants and weaving her baskets…just before Jondula and his brother came on the scene. I thought the author captured the nomadic life so well!

Did you ever watch the Clan of the Cave Bear movie? I thought it was pretty poor, to be honest, but interesting to see how the film makers interpreted the book.

I loved it when Jondalar and his brother turned up too
I just knew they were goint to get together.
Yes, i did watch the film,and agree,it was poor.
I have never been impressed with books being made into films tbh.
I visited a place called Castell Henley in Wales,it took me right back to the books.
Google it PixieKnuckles,i think you will like it

My favourite was when they stayed with the Mammoth Hunters, and she found Wolf. The rage between Jondalar and Ranec was brilliant.

I am going to see if l can get it on my Kindle after the build up you ladies
have just given !! :+1::grin::grin::+1:
