Venison Burgers
This is part of the spirit of the times, isn't it? Farmers' Markets. They're springing up everywhere.Today was the first one at Oakwood in Leeds - quite a number of stalls crammed into the small space under the well-known Oakwood Clock.
It was absolutely packed and I would like to be able to report to you about the delicious local produce to be found there - but unfortunately I couldn't get near enough to most of the stalls to find out what they were selling, which I suspect bodes well for the future of the monthly market.
The free-range eggs (6 for a pound) were very nice though, when boiled, with toast fingers (they were always "fingers" never "soldiers" insisted my anti-militaristic parents in their usual slightly OTT way).
There were stalls selling local meat, jams, chutneys, bread, cheese - and venison burgers.
No, I didn't try one: I don't think "Venison Burgers" sound very tempting.
How about "Bambi in a Bap"?

Venison burgers are lovely!! We used to go to the markets in Millimiuun square when they were on - the wild boar sausage is particularly good. (Though I suspect it's the pleasure of eating it hot off the grill in a paper napkin that I love most!)
I'm afraid I'd never be allowed to join PETA or Greenpeace as I'm all for eating beasties. Bambi a cute baby creature....ground up tastes great in chili, no fat in the meat either I might add, and the backstrap...well we just won't even go there. It sounds like a lovely day at market for sure!
