More Of The Same

Spent an hour making more venison faggots. I used a TV chefs tip of blanching the offal in boiling water for 5 mins before mincing. Makes hand mincing easier but shaping the faggot balls more difficult. Also added a little sage and onion stuffing to mix for extra flavour.
Whilst in a culinary mood I also knocked up a simple salad dish using a recipe supplied by my Danish friends. Cut two heads of broccoli into numerous mini florets and place in a large mixing bowl. Add a handful of raisins and 2 tbs of red wine vinegar.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper (I use celery salt). Mix and coat thoroughly with about a third of a jar of mayonnaise. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve with almost anything or sit and eat a whole bowl of it yourself.
I spent a lazy hour this afternoon flicking through the pages of some old Shooting Times magazines from 1928. A pair of Churchill's "Premiere" sidelock 12 bores £240. Numbered in gold at no extra charge! Cartridges 13 shillings per 100.
Just cracked a bottle of one of my favourite malts. Knockando is a twelve year old single malt and one of the finest Speyside whiskys with a unique delicacy and fruitiness. Cheers.
